I am here for Friends

About Me

Simple(ish). In three words. Spontaneous, thoughtful, amiable (I hope). Ok. Too vague. I like to think I'm a good person. It pretty much seems that my life is contrasting in most ways. For instance, it varies. At times I'm so reserved and closed, at others so open. At times, so mellow, at others, energetic. So spontaneous yet so thought-out, so dedicated, yet weirdly lethargic. It scares me that life is a cloud of uncertainty. But that's a good thing, as every day has a reason for why we bother to get up - we don't have the answers, but each new day brings about something new in our lives, no matter how mundane. I find monotony, or anything resembling a routine also scares me; I end up feeling out of control of my life, which is an odd concept. I like how every individual in the world can interpret or understand life on a completely different level, hence why we all bother to put up with each other. It would be hard otherwise. I think a lot, which is now pretty obvious if you've been reading this. Its annoying seeing as I'm constantly over-thinking things and missing chances in life I would have preferred not to have missed. This probably compensates for what little thought i put into anything not so long ago. I always try to keep an open mind. I wish more did. To see the world through closed eyes would be a shame. Hmm. Looks like I've ended up talking too much about life in general, as opposed to just me. Lets just called this an About Life. Yep. Friends are hugely important to me- thankfully mine are brilliant. Family are brilliant also. Ok. I'd say thats most of my simplicities and complexities crammed into a fat paragraph. Thanks for reading. Stay classy.x. Watch this. Go on...
