It Will Make You Crazy

So I started talking to someone new recently which is quite refreshing as it opens up a whole new window of things to talk about instead of those same old conversations I seem to have with the people I know. Anyway, he asked me to tell him about myself and this got me thinking, how can I describe myself in one sentence? (I know, that sounds quite conceited but I assure you I'm not trying to be.) So in the end I came up with this:

"I'm a harry potter fan girl who likes formal wear and tea parties."

This got me thinking about my blogger profile and how I desperately needed to update it. I began to make a short list of things about myself and at first thought quite cockily that "oh, I'm so different and original and blah blah blah". But then I had to laugh at myself. I'm not different, or original, or even the slightest bit out of the ordinary. I'm your basic teenager who, like all the others my age, are stuck in that limbo of not quite grown up but not exactly immature. I mean after all, most girls aged16-17 are disorganised, whiny and often try to be some deep thinking soul when actually nobody cares about their most profound thoughts.

And yet I still continue to tell you mine, silly isn't it?

Contemplating other people's thoughts reminded me of all those stupid love quite people think of which are apparently meant to be 'cute' but in actual fact make anyone who doesn't hold their heart on their sleeve feel slightly sick. Although saying this, a few months ago I did find quite a lovely quote by the artist Andre Jordan which goes:

I do not care what car you drive, where you live, if you know someone who knows someone who knows someone, if your clothes are this years cutting edge, if your trust fund is unlimited, if you are A-list, B-list or never heard of you list. I only care about the words that flutter from your mind. They are the only thing you truly own. The only thing I will remember you by. I will not fall in love with your bones and skin. I will not fall in love with the places you have been. I will not fall in love with anything but the words that flutter from your extraordinary mind.

Quite lovely, isn't it?
