About Me

I see it all through a telescope: cello, suitcase, and a warm coat
Lying in the back of the blue boat, humming a tune...
I'm Heather. That's really all you need to know. I love
summer. It seems to make magic happen, turn dreams to
reality. I love taking pictures of life, of perfection,
of people and happiness. I care a lot, sometimes too
much, about the little things. The stupidest thing can
make me really upset but it's generally just because
there is so much other useless information stuck in my
brain.
I've changed a lot over this last year. I like the
person I've become, mostly. I will always strive for
self improvement but don't we all. I'm sick of following
the crowd, but I don't want to stand out or disappoint
people. Sometimes I spend too much time trying not to
let the people who don't matter down that I just end up
letting myself down. But when that happens, I have the
most amazing people in my life to pick me up again. My
friends. My silent angels. I don't know what I would do
without them. I like to think that I've learned to
depend on me, but truth is, I'm weak, we all are, we're
like a jigsaw, together, we can be stronger. Sometimes,
the pieces aren't quite right, they fit together for a
while but eventually fall apart, but the ones that are
in the right place, at the right time, will stay there
forever.

Lots of people.
It will be useful when I'm away in new places, all alone.
I'd like to leave everyone behind, without actually doing so.
Strange I know.
Maybe I just want to reinvent myself.

Heroes:

I like to keep them secret. I guess I'm embarrassed by who I look up to, but for no reason. It's the times when we admit That we are not heroic that we are at our most heroic.

The wisdom of a 11 year old.

"How can you think of so many things at once? If I did that I think my head would explode!"It speaks for itself yet I find myself obsessed with explaining.But I think I will restrain. For a day or so....
