i'm fast realising what's important in life. being happy comes before worrying about money, or trying to get good exam results. a piece of paper, or a bank card won't make a person happy. a love for the things and the people around someone will make them happy, and recently i've been embracing those around me. those who matter most.
today is the penultimate night of a 2 week break from school, two weeks which were intended by the school for revision before our exams in less than a month. i have done none. nothing. nil. and i am proud to say that, i may not have learnt the importance of nuclear power, or the structural techniques used by many novelists during the 20th century, but i have certainly learnt what is important to me; my friends, my family, and my life.
between late nights, missed trains, warm mornings and mild evenings, i've managed to take photos of almost everything which meant something to me. i'm filling up my computer more and more each night, but i'm proud. for the first time, i'm truly proud of the person i'm becoming.
no longer am i the person who is constantly looking to change their appearance. no longer am i the person worrying about exam deadlines months in advance. no longer am i the person consumed by the life that others want me to lead. i'm absolutely 100% free, and i couldn't be happier.
here are some snapshots from the last couple of days. i hope you're all very well.
abbie and emma napping on hannah's sofa
chocolate milk in the early hours of the morning
dan, staying out into the morning in the fields
abbie, illuminated by the light of our bonfire
bike rides in the sunset with my next door neighbour
& finally, abbie sleeping in front of the television, late friday night.
