Throwback to this photo, thanks to @qiaura for making the mundane activity of cleaning acrylic look cool 😄 almost like a spaceman.

And I’m starting to realise

I’m out on my own

[my-jersey-life]

Oh I do love a second hand bookshop! I found this one in Cromer, north Norfolk. As much as I try to resist, I am always struggling with the fact that if I am unlikely to return to THIS SPECIFIC SHOP, I should probably buy all the books. As it happened, I managed to contain myself to just buying 5. . . . . . #secondhandbooks #secondhandbookshop #preloved #ilovethesmellofoldbooks #cromer #northnorfolk #norfolk #seasidetown #outonmyown #thisanxiousadventurer (at Cromer) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDw6EhDvCs/?igshid=18olj3rsyzxm9

Poppy Seeds

Respect everyone, but don’t do it because people you actually really respect are looking. Put more effort into becoming genuine instead of taking the easy way out and pretend. Wanting to be a good person and not being seen as someone who is, will take you further along the way, because one day, when you’re too tired to act you won’t be able to control how you react.

Poppy throws people off from her truest personality. She plants these seeds in your mind that she is a genuine, kind, humble person. But when the curtains fall, and the people she wants to impress are gone, her true nature shows up and if you’re someone she starts to realise is someone she doesn’t care enough to compete with, you become the person where all her pent up condescension is dumped on.

I am genuinely a pretty alright person. I try my best not to fuck with someone’s feelings and most importantly, I never want to make someone else feel small. I understand what it feels like to be put down, I’m insecure for a reason. But people like Poppy they feed off making you feel miserable, and while they’re technically nice to you, they would not respect you enough to give you the time of day or ask your permission if they could stop by your house and use it as a pit stop. Of course, usually a stronger more assertive person would be able to tell that b*tch to leave, but I was slowly coming into my ‘I don't give a fuck’ personality and so I let her do whatever. 

To me everything was alright, because inasmuch as I didn’t really like the names she called me or the fact that she passively loves to put me down, there was nothing threatening about her that would ward me off as quickly as what had happened one night. 

When I stayed back on campus to help her get out of a bad situation, when things got better, she suddenly snapped and threatened me - ‘If you ever tell anyone what happened, I will ruin you and I will destroy your reputation.’

I have never been so rudely talked down to and this wasn’t a normal kind of friendly correction, it felt like a threat. I don't even think that the bad situation she went through deserved enough protection to suddenly go all A-hole on me. But it woke me up to the truth, that this b*tch does not respect me and that we are not friends. We are conveniently placed people studying in the same small group.

I’d stay away from people like Poppy and I’d stay away from becoming like her.

I Feel So Free These Days with a boat load of stress And Depression Behind it but I have the lord and my strength and my world will be in order one day. One day school will be paid for, One day I will be the weight I wanna be, One day I’ll be making money and moving out on my own. These things are in motion I just need them to happen.

Song of the week!

Falling for Glitter

“Thank God I previously found a picture of him to know how he looks like, can you image how embarrassing it would if I had seen him today and not said Hi?”

“No, because you don't know who he is... Why do you have to pretend that you do?” Anabel said. 

Poppy went on fawning over the fact that  Bertram Reynolds waved at her when she said Hi. Anabel and I stopped listening. It’s weird to think that she pays so much attention to people who doesn't know her. 

“Poppy has the gift of putting down people intentionally-unintentionally and somehow knows yet doesn't know how she trespasses through everyone else's personal space. I’d like to think that she’d grow out of it, but I don't think she would, because she doesn't come to realise that what she is doing is wrong.” Anabel went on. 

“You can be fans for the system, of the big shots who make it work, but I don’t see the point of the all consuming desire she has to catch glitter from someone else’s show.” I said.
