Lykke Li - I Follow Rivers

Let Me Be Free.






















So as life at home in the suburbs becomes increasingly repetitive, dull and hopeless, and my high school days build up to the crucial final year, I'm feeling more and more restrained and tied-down and trapped and limited and hopeless. This is by far one of the worst places I have ever been, and I want out.

In a way it's exciting- highschool coming to a close, I mean. In less than 24 months I'll be, in some ways, free. Free from highschool at least. Then comes work and university.
I figured I would just not do it. I refuse to go straight into uni- I will take a gap year and have my complete freedom, for a little while at least. If I went straight into university after highschool, I would surely die. I need to get away first.

Who knows, maybe I'll have some sort of epiphany along the way and I'll change my career path entirely?

I just have to travel. I dont know where it came from, but the desire is burning inside me. I want to board planes and fly across the globe. I want to be jetlagged and culture-shocked and I want to learn languages and absorb traditions and meet the locals and make memories and friendships. That appeals to me more than I can say. That, to me, sounds like the greatest time imaginable.

So here, to inspire us both, are some of the places I want to visit. No- I will visit.

"I can't wait to travel the world- to leave this place and know freedom for it's dictionary definition."

Express Post.







Pun intended, as this is going to be the quickest post I have ever posted.

So, I'm on Easter holidays at the moment, and they've been more or less alright thus far. Nothing too special, but not absolutely dreadful either. I could be having the time of my life, but homework has proved to be rather restricting. I wont delve into that, however I have just finished two of six subjects worth of homework. I'm hoping (emphasis on hoping) to knock down another subject tonight.

Oh my sweet Lord, I'm becoming the lamest, nerdiest loser there ever was. I wish highschool didnt exist.

Actually no, I take that back. I'm thoroughly grateful for my education. I just have a first world problem, but it's better than a third world one, right?

But in-between textbooks and pens and pointless assignments, I've managed to get out a little, every now and then.
Last week my girlfriends and I scheduled a picnic in Carlton Gardens (funny story actually, but Carlton Gardens somehow became Fitzroy Gardens. Yes, we got lost..) which then carried on into the evening and became a sleepover.
After recently sorting out a few friendship issues and coming out better than ever, spending the day (and night) with my three best friends was such a blessing. I couldn't have enjoyed the day more, unless I'd refrained from eating all the junk food we ate at the picnic. Then I would have enjoyed the day more..

So anyway, that was a lovely way to spend a wonderful day. I even have some pictures for you. Tomorrow should prove to be just as nice as I set out on a lunch date with my best friend of almost eight years, to chat over coffee and watch the Titanic in 3D. Yes, I've seen it two hundred times, but nothing could be better than seeing that in 3D. Don't even argue with me.

That was my express post. I'll be off, but back soon to keep you updated. Much love.
