Bring It All Back

I need to admit this to someone. It's totally cringy and I will never say this sentence out loud, but...

I had an epiphany...listening to S-Club 7.

There, I wrote it. Now I can try and explain my epiphany in a few short sentences becasue I quite fancy getting some sleep :)

Basically I was listening to 'Bring it All Back' (on shuffle may I add!) and thought the lyrics were very fitting in my current situation of feeling shit and unmotivated and absolutely hopeless. Well they brightened up an otherwise shit day :)

The lyrics are below but the one that really stood out was "You only have to answer to yourself." That is so fucking true. Whatever you do, at the end of the day it's you who pays the price. Thank you S-Club, you not only provided my childhood with your cheesy music and upbeat dancing but you've also supplied me with some good life advice :)



Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you

Hold on to what you try to be
Your individuality
When the world is on your shoulders
Just smile and let it go
If people try to put you down
Just walk on by don't turn around
You only have to answer to yourself

Don't you know it's true what they say
That life, it ain't easy
But your time's coming around
So don't you stop tryin'

Don't stop, never give up
Hold your head high and reach the top
Let the world see what you have got
Bring it all back to you
Dream of falling in love
Anything you've been thinking of
When the world seems to get too tough
Bring it all back to you

Try not to worry 'bout a thing
Enjoy the good times life can bring
Keep it all inside you
Gotta let the feeling show
Imagination is the key
'Cos you are you're own destiny
You never should be lonely
When time is on your side


Haha, I hope you enjoyed this :D

I'm Just a Teenage Dirtbag Baby

I was listening to the radio earlier and 'Teenage Dirtbag' by Wheatus came on. For some reason it made me remember what I used to think a teenager was like- what I thought I'd be like when I was that age. I suppose my only ideas came from TV and babysitters seeing as we never had any family friends with older kids. So yer, here's what I used to think...(Just thought I'd add, I hate the word 'teenager' it just pisses me off...I'll try to avoid its use, although that may be tricky in this post!)

I used to think teenagers (there you go, 1st sentence!) were really cool- going out with their friends all the time, being all independent and rebellious :P The one on the right seems the most accurate- baggy clothes, a ponytail (or braided hair), faded jeans and a pair of these beauties...

This mainly came from my babysitters who'd come to our house, always with a load of homework to do, giving us the impression secondary school is all about 'essays' and you spend every evening writing pages and pages! Haha, we dreaded that! And they'd always be moody and a bit gothic/punky so we thought they were cool and rebellious, I wish I could see them now, I bet they were right geeks!

And they always talked about their boyfriends who I imagined would be as below...a geeky guy who they'd go out with at the weekend and I dunno rollerskate or something! I also used to think that they all smoked behind the bike shed at school...Paha I do love my stereotypical childhood views!

Haha so yeah, that's about it. Very random I know but as I said, that song reminded me of it. I sound like an old lady talking about when she was little! Ahh good times, I wish I was still a kid :P

Nostalgia- a bittersweet longing

Earlier I was just looking out of the window thinking how nice the garden looked; winter's just about gone and even though it's still chilly, spring is right around the corner. I was thinking about all the amazing times we used to have when me and my brother were little, out in the garden playing. We used to just play in the garden for what seemed like ages. We'd always be out there, making dens, cooking mud pies, playing with the guinea pigs, climbing into the neighbour's garden, just having fun really. My mum would usually be there gardening or reading a book. I just remember it so well, we were just so happy to find things to do, however boring and pointless they were. And it would only come to an end when our mum called us in for tea or it started to get dark. We'd spend the whole summer holidays going on cycle rides and playing with the hose, having water fights and playing hide and seek with our friends.
I know I make it sound all lovely and perfect, like a scene from a child's fairytale or something. I know we didn't always have fun, there were boring times too, we used to argue, fight and cry. But mostly I remember those lovely times of just sitting on the swing listening to the birds (and talking back because I was convinced they were saying my name...) I miss the feeling of the future being the next 10mins, beyond that was all blurry and not to be thought about, just a dream that would never actually come true. Back then there was only 'now'.

So just looking out the window today made me really nostalgic, sitting there with my pile of homework, getting stressed about how much I have to do, and I just remembered that feeling of freedom, when the most disappointing time of day was when you had to come out of the den you'd just made, take off your twig hat and go inside.

Thanks for reading xx
