went to kate's yesterday for her birthday party

went to layna's today and we went to the park with her cousins and stuff

:)

i learnt something very important...

if you are scared to lose

how can you win?

if you are scared to fall

how can you fly?

I don't care what anyone says anymore.

I'll be who I want to be.

over my head

&suddenly i become part of your past, i'm becoming the part that doesn't last, i'm losing you and it's effortless~

dont play with me

If you're going to play,

Don't play with me...

Go find someone else,

someone else who cares enough to trust,

who doesnt want to get hurt

by someone they barely know.

Quit colouring my life for me,

I'll be all the colours I want to be.

Let me do it myself,

because, believe me, i can.

theres more to life than popularity

Thank you.
I had more fun with you today in half an hour than I have ever had with him.
Thank you for being there when no one else was.
It was great to know that people care about more than popularity and reputations.

_______________________________________
Don't worry about him.
He should come around eventually,
along with every one else.
Learn to expect that.
People change and don't really care what you think.
They say they are your friend but really, they can't stand you.
They forget about you eventually.
That is what makes them worth no more than a grain of sand to you
And the quicker you work that out, the better.
One diamond is worth so much more than a thousand grains of sand.
Remember that.

________________

Altogether, very good day.

Realised that some people aren't what they seem.

I learnt a lot.

Also did sectionals with the National Youth Orchestra.

why should you mean anything to me?

I'm giving up.
Coz I'm too cool for you
And all the stupid things you do.
I'm living life the way I should have done,
Back when I was too busy
looking at the inconsequential things.
You're nothing to the world.
So why should you mean anything to me?
