One word. Rad.

About Me

lyt by avlays

I live over the mountain, in another world.
I like that I have some of the most important people surrounding me at the moment.
I enjoy the fact that I can get up, shower, dress and eat all within an hour of needing to be at uni. You just don't get that in Sydney.
I live in a room that doesn't feel like home. Yet my room at home doesn't feel like mine anymore.
I drive back to Sydney to go to concerts. And parties. And to avoid the cold.

    The bestest.
    We take photos.
    We drink Starbucks.
    We go shopping for all the beautiful things we can't afford.
    We trade music.
    And most importantly, she calls me at uni, when I need it the most.
    She listens to my stories.
    Takes the time to meet the new people in my life.
    Learns all my new sayings.
    Lets me give her advice.
    Doesn't get cut when I don't have as much time for her as I should.
    And doesn't judge or hate me because I'm making new friends.
    She may not be with me everyday, but she knows everything.
    She keeps me grounded, and puts things into perspective.

    Just quietly, she's pretty rad.
