Speak nicely.

The one thing that has been getting on my nerves lately is the whole 'talking behind people's back' thing. Can we ever escape this? I thought when high school was over this would at least be a remote end to people talking badly about others when there's no need to, but alas, some girls never grow up and some people don't understand a professional environment.

I understand everyone needs to have a vent, and, if waranted, it can be a great way to clear the air, your anxiety and stresses of everyday life.  What is not ok, is malicious behaviour. I for one am not interested in personal attacks on people if you have an opinion, fine. I'm also someone to stand up for what I think is right, perhaps that simply means not being a sheep.

So I'll leave you with a picture to explain much of this situation, the quote of course is courtesy of Eleanor Roosevelt

The Four Agreements

In this day in age, living via these four simple things are near impossible for some. That's sad, but alas the truth of humans today. Perhaps if we start living by these things, we can all live in harmony, no religion required.

Inspiration

Sometimes all you need is a few things to burst you back into inspiration zone. Whether that's something creative you're working on or just to become a better person or get more out of life we all need that little kick. These have been doing it for me lately.

Ramblings of a 20 something

Your twenties are a time to find yourself, to do wrong, to do right, to experience. It's a time to fall in love, fall out of love and fall back in love with someone new. It's a time to work hard at your career and then ignore those years of university, apprenticeships and work experience and give it all up to travel the world. It's a time where you figure out who your real friends are and who is worth keeping in your life. It's a time to move out of home, move into a fun sharehouse, then hate the house, move to another and so on. It's a time to make your belongings a little bit smaller for the ease of this and more than anything it's a time to learn. It's ok to be sad, it's ok to party and it's ok to stay home because you just can't be bothered. It's a time when you stress about the future because it seems like everything has to be sorted with your life by the time you are 30. It's possible life won't ever feel like it's suppose to, but when you look back it's exactly what you were meant to do at the time. Stress less, smile more and enjoy your twenties. They're the best time, the worst time, and more than anything they're always a time you will remember.

Have a lovely day everyone, I hope you enjoyed my ramblings.

Nothing quite like chilling with your best friends on a balcony watching the sunset before a raging night out.

Bali - October 2012

I had an amazing time in Bali this last October, headed over with my boyfriend Darryn as well as meeting up with Tris and Isna for some fun days. It was definitely time for a break and we had such a fun time! From drunken antics, to eating loads of mie goreng and nasi goreng with the best spring rolls ever, to waterbomb park, trips, swimming, relaxing to exploring! Here's some of my favourite snaps.
