Confidence

I think so many opportunities are lost by peoples lack of confidence. Not going for a job because you don't think you're good enough or not having dreams because you never believe you will achieve them. Even just when two people like each and they don't say anything for so long that they both come to the conclusion the other doesn't like them back. They could of been so happy together but it was lost because neither was confident enough to tell the other! I've seen this happen with my friends when they have liked someone and that person has blatantly liked them back and nothing ever happened because neither had the guts to tell one another!
I just think the world would move so much faster, people would achieve so much more and be happier if they actually told people how they felt sometimes.
I'm probably a hypocrite for saying this as I have been to shy to tell someone how i feel, but i'm going to try and change that now. I'm bored of waiting for good things to happen to me or come to me, i'm going go and bloody get them myself.

Something I think about often. Minds fascinate me :)

I find it incredible to contemplate the amount of thoughts and feelings people have. If you imagine in a room of just 10 people, the amount of stories and experiences each person has had. Try and imagine the incredible amount of characteristics and amazing thoughts, good and bad, each person has had and how they will never be known entirely by another human.

            They could try and share them. People may try and tell others everything about them and even If they did have the confidence to do so, as sharing your feelings can be a daunting prospect, there is not enough time in a lifetime to share all this information with a person. And so we shall all live on with as many people around us, as many people loving us but primarily and simply we are all alone.
            And this is why it is so important, this is why it is so fundamentally essential for us to like ourselves because even if someone else loves us, they do not really know us. 


I don't know why this is posting with a white box around it but it is, oh well.

Wild Beasts

I rarely hate bands, i strongly dislike them and i will think they don't deserve to be so famous but i can normally understand why other people like their music. There is only one band which i genuinely hate, which is Wild Beasts. I saw them on Jools Holland months ago and they were acting like they were the most incredible thing to ever happen to music, as if they were going to revolutionize music, but they sounded crap. They just irritated me so much, ugh.

'Hipsters', 'indie kids' et cetera.

I hate the term 'hipster' or anything similar to describe the Bombay bicycle club loving, flannel shirt wearing groups of teenagers. Hipster is a term to define people who are 'different' from the usual. But ridiculous things have become 'indie' things now. How on earth can triangles and nutella be hipster it is chocolaty heaven in a jar and a shape?! what is different and unique about that?

When people are referred to as 'hipsters' because they are apparently so different from the rest of us they are not. They are clones of every other apparent 'hipster'. Wearing a checked shirt done up to the top and a triangle necklace does not make you unique and individual, it makes you more of a clone than the chino wearing chavs which i so despise. 

I don't really know what my point is to this post i just thought i would put out to the world my dislike for any name to stereotype or generalize a group of people.

People are people. Some have boobs, some don't. Some have brown hair, some have blonde hair. There is no such thing as hipsters or emo's. They are just personalities, categorized into a group by some other person.

Umm... so i guess what i'm trying to say, is be yourself, don't care about what other people think of you or name you as. 

Just be. 

Peace out suckers.

I love doing random nice things for people and i compliment strangers and all that kind of stuff, i think just sometimes it feels like couldn't anyone do that for me for once, and without me insinuating it or asking for them to. ah well. in the words of noah and the whale, life goes the fuck on...wait is that wrong? ...
