I am: yet what I am no one cares or knows

About Me


words
without thoughts...
Nolite tes
bastardes
carborundorum.
[Don't let the bastards grind you down]
i am dreaming that i am awake...
in my lap is a handful of crumpled stars.
..
This is a little long. If you can be bothered to read it, you are worth my time. If not then don't even contemplate clicking on the "add me" button.
Firstly, no i will not meet you "for some fun". Don't even think about it.
i'm Emina.
i'm slightly in love with London.
i can speak serbo-croat fluently.
i love going to the theatre/opera/ballet.
i have always had a slight obsession with photography, even before it became cool.
i wear liquid eyeliner. this does not make me a goth, an emo or any other generalised stereotype under the sun. i am just me.
i only drink bottled water; unless i'm someone's guest, in which case i am polite and don't make a fuss.
i drink too much coffee for my own good.
i use the word "gosh" too often.
don't give me roses. give me a lily or an iris, something unconventional.
i am possibly one of the most cynical individuals you will ever come across.
i often have strong opinions that i'm not afraid to show. i have always had an interest in the environment and this care for the world has deepened in the past few years. i love life and live it to the full even when things aren't going too well. i'm a perfectionist which can be good at times when it is appropriate but most people agree that it can be my worst fault.
i like to do charity work.
i tend to shock people. a lot. i guess i'm just not what you expect me to be considering my age.
i want someone who will send me letters in the post; leave me notes that i'll find unexpectedly; walk in the park with me at silly hours just for the sake of it; someone who will watch the stars with me; someone who will take me to hidden smokey jazz clubs; someone who will talk to me for hours about everything; someone i can share my thoughts with; someone who can be a gentleman. am i asking for too much?
..
sometimes i wish i could see what the future holds, but i also know that with this insight growth and maturity wouldn't be possible because i wouldn't make mistakes. without mistakes what do we have to learn from?
I've learnt that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them. I've learnt that no matter how much I care, some people just don't care back. I've learnt that it takes years to build up trust and only seconds to destroy it. I've learnt that it's not what you have in your life, but who you have in your life that counts.
I've learnt that you shouldn't compare yourself to the best others can do, but to the best you can do. I've learnt that it's not what happens to people, it's what they do about it. I've learnt that no matter how thin you slice it, there are always two sides. I've learnt that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you'll see them. I've learnt that you can keep going long after you think you can't.
I've learnt that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. I've learnt that there are people, who love you dearly, but just don't know how to show it. I've learnt that sometimes when I'm angry I have the right to be angry but that doesn't give me the right to be cruel. I've learnt that true friendship continues to grow even over the longest distance and the same goes for true love.
I've learnt that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learnt that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others, sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I've learnt that no matter how bad your heart is broken, the world doesn't stop for your grief. I've learnt that just because two people argue, it doesn't mean they don't love each other and just because they don't argue, it doesn't mean they do.
I've learnt that sometimes you have to put the individual ahead of their actions. I've learnt that two people can look at the exact same thing and see something totally different. I've learnt that no matter the consequences, those who are honest with themselves get farther in life. I've learnt that your life can be changed in a matter of hours.
I've learnt that the people you care most about in life are taken from you too soon. I've learnt that it's hard to determine where to draw the line between being nice and not hurting people's feelings and standing up for what you believe. I've learnt to love and be loved.
..
i really don't appreciate it when people don't seem to have the ability to speak properly. pls dnt speak 2 me if u tlk lik dis. i am not prejudiced, it is just likely that i won't understand you. below is a brief lesson in grammar if you are in any doubt:
Their is a possessive pronoun. i.e. when something belongs to someone.
There refers to a location.
They’re is a contraction of they are.
Theirs is also a possessive pronoun.
There’s is a contraction of there is.
similarly...
Your is a possessive pronoun
You're is a contraction of you are
i love to travel and to learn new things, however useless the information is, hence i have a mind overflowing with things i'll probably never need. i think about everything far too much, over-analysing every aspect of life.
why do we call it falling in love? surely that is a negative motion? we are falling people.
i love to write poetry and lyrics although i don't share my work very often. i love creativity in general really. i love performing in front of an audience, it's one of the most amazing feelings in the world! i love capturing life with a camera.
the things i respect most in people are maturity, honesty, loyalty, wisdom and selflessness. most importantly i look up to those who do not follow the status quo and don't change in order to be accepted by people.
..
i have a strong belief in the power of astrology.
my friends and my family are the most important things in the world to me. i have no care for material possessions. recent events have made the year just gone hell in many respects and life doesn't seem to be getting any easier. what i'm attempting to do now is get my life back on track. and yes, that does mean that for a couple of months i won't have much of a life because of school work but the way i see it is that it will all be worthwile in the end.
i have hidden my friends list because i think it's pathetic that people are trying to prove something by having ridiculous numbers of "friends". Also, i don't like the fact that there is a top 8, i am not prepared to rate my friends. They are all amazing to me in one way or another.
..
" Like the statue of Glaucus, which was disfigured by time, seas and tempests, that it looked more like a wild beast than a god, the human soul, altered in society by a thousand causes perpetually recurring, by the acquisition of a multitude of truths and errors, by the changes happening to the constitution of the body, and by the continual jarring of the passions, has, so to speak, changed in appearance, so as to be hardly recognisable. " - Jean Jaques Rousseau in The Social Contract -
I am: yet what I am none cares or knows,
My friends forsake me like a memory lost;
I am the self-consumer of my woes,
They rise and vanish in oblivious host,
Like shades in love and death's oblivion lost;
And yet I am! and live with shadows tost
Into the nothingness of scorn and noise,
Into the living sea of waking dreams,
Where there is neither sense of life nor joys,
But the vast shipwreck of my life's esteems;
And e'en the dearest--that I loved the best--
Are strange--nay, rather stranger than the rest.
I long for scenes where man has never trod;
A place where woman never smil'd or wept;
There to abide with my creator, God,
And sleep as I in childhood sweetly slept:
Untroubling and untroubled where I lie;
The grass below--above the vaulted sky.
- I Am, by John Clare -
