your person

my photos.

so ive heard and thought a lot of the same thing lately. a friend talking about how she aspires to be a better person, to be a person, who when walks into the room, people notice and are instantlly drawn to them because of their amazing heart. and then theres a friend reaching out because she feels that she has nothing, and she needs to reattach to what she used to have. it seems to me that a lot of people around me are catching onto what they need in their lives. and it got me thinking about my own relationships. i have plenty of friends, i know that. but when i think about my relationships, i know that there arent any that are super deep. because as much as i listen and offer support, and hear my friends deepest fears, i dont return the same amount of depth. i glaze over and give the shortened version, where i end with a smile but thats not necessarily the real ending. and so one friend was also saying that we need that person, the one or two that we can truely open ourselves to. it will help us grow and will give us so much relief.

so while i try to open up and tell people how i really am, i hope that you also have a person that you can do this with. im quite tired of it all being in me, but i honestly dont know how to get it out. i dont really feel that its worth it. but whatever. goodluck with your people.

the love of floral

i love flowers. they are just so beautiful. all the time. and they distract me, and make me feel better. even if it just be looking at pictures of them! the botanic gardens is one of my most favourite places in adelaide. i often go there by myself on a cool day, and wander. its my thinkg/camera time. its beautiful. and there was a french guy who worked in the cafe who made an amazing coffee! lets hope he's there next time!

these photos are mine, i hope you like them. PLEASE tell me what you think. the necklace is in there because it was for a uni project. we had to take millions of photos that had an object recurring in all of them so i chose two necklaces. i think it worked nicely with what i took. i like the dreaminess. whereas some other people chose things like a football or a bench!

so yes, please tell me if you like them!

i wish this was me in these photos. pretty pretty! the country side is beautiful.

the storm that was meant to come in yesterday still hasnt made an appearance. hence another restless night in the heat. it was sooooo warm. now for a morning of watching will and grace, remember last nights sytycd (uhmazing) and reading.

the ants are going bonkers outside. apparently a thunderstorm is meant to be hitting adelaide later. but all i feel is hot hot hot and all i can see is sunny absolute clear blue skies. i do hope the storm comes in though. although that will make things muggy and sticky. but pretty. we didnt put the aircon on last night. i couldnt sleep. it was gross actually. and i had the weiiiiirdest dreams.

i miss london. so much so much so much. come on. just two more years of uni and then its save up to travel! hopefully in two thousand and eleven. keep your fingers crossed for me. please?

i love fresh mornings with my cup of coffee and a nice book. i love the feeling of rugging up and being cosy and warm, and seeing the winter sky and getting excited for putting on my coat and boots.

come on winter. im waiting for you. i just am not the biggest fan of this heat. yuck.
