Skinny Jeans

So I noticed that the first couple of blog posts were actually quite deep and meaningful which actually is not my usual self. Most of the time I am happy to sit with my best friend and subtly (or not so subtly, ha ha) check out guys as they walk past. One major thing me and my best friend has is common is our love for guys wearing skinny jeans, having fairly long hair and being musically talented. Of course it is this same hobby that distracts me at some really inopportune times yet I, personally, feel it is completely worth it.

So, here's a little advice for anyone hanging around the blogosphere with nothing else to do, everyone wants to hear a compliment from a cute guy or girl. So, if you like someone, compliment them and make them laugh (girls love a guy that can make them laugh). Take a chance because otherwise you'll only ever be asking yourself, what if? Take it from someone who knows, and if you are afraid to ask someone out or even talk to them then really, ask yourself, what is the worst thing they can say? No? Then perhaps they just weren't the right one for you.

I'm just as afraid to hear the word 'no' as much as every single one of you but as I said on one of my past posts, I'm going to try and not let fear take over my life anymore. It holds you back and everytime I regret not just letting go because, if I ever did then maybe I could fly. Plus, relationships aren't the only thing where I get to scared to take a chance but I'm slowly learning that it's okay to go for it, I just need to learn the difference between fear and nerves.

There I go with the serious stuff again, ha ha, but seriously, guys in skinny jeans are hot! :)

So, I guess the real thing I'm trying to say is, don't be afraid to say 'hi' to your crush and maybe I should learn to take my own advice once in a while. That's the challenge though and I am definately a girl who loves a good challenge and guys in bands as my friends know well.

No fear

Tonight I watched a film on Disney Channel. Admittedly  I am probably way to old to be watching Disney Channel but at the same time I'm not embarressed by it either. One thing I love about Disney films is that there is always one character who is not afraid to dream big and take chances. That is someone who I would love to be more than anything!

Honestly, I am afraid of pretty much everything. I'm afraid to speak out. I'm afraid to fall in love. I am most definately afraid of letting go and living like every moment could be my last, because really, no one knows what the future has in store for them so why do we worry so much about what might happen when we should be  thinking about what is happening at that very moment.

Sometimes it takes a lot in order for you to reach a realisation, be it small or big, and sometimes and doesn't take a lot at all. Me, I guess that I spend so much time worrying about what someone else might think about me that I forget that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks. I should be free to be myself without being judged. Sadly, that's not always the case.

I have a friend who hasn't had the easiest life ever and even though sometimes it might get a bit much she is so amazing she just carries on. She is one of the most outspoken, amazing person I know and she doesn't even realise it. So, here is what I am trying to say, if I can try to be myself then so can everyone of you. Go nuts, dream big, be yourself and try not to let fear get in the way of what you really want.

Oh, and always remember, when you crash a party make sure you bring food or drink in order to ensure you'll be let in the door ;)

Change

The past is the past for a reason and sometimes maybe, just maybe, we get the chance to learn from our past and the opportunity not to make the same mistakes over and over again. As part of human existence it seems to almost be a requirement that we fail from time to time, it stops us from becoming to assured of ourselves and pretty much all of history shows us what happens when this happens to individuals.

Recently, I've realised that I seem to be repeating mistakes I've already made before and that I'm slowly coming to the realisation that if I want to stop making these mistakes then I'm going to have to do something different myself. Repeating the same mistakes again is not what I desire so it seems I'm needing to make a few changes so I'm going to try and think that change can only be good. This blog will hopefully be a part of that, a way for me to write what I want to write but with it being different to a diary or a journal. So, really, this is what i am trying to say... I want to take more chances.

On days like today I can't help but wonder if I'm making the right decisions and I think about something I once read by Sarah Dessen which said, "Failing sucks, but it's better than the alternative... not even trying".

Also, the blog URL name 'donotfeedthegoldfishbacon' was something my best friend once told me and I figured it was as good a piece of advice as any.
