Impressing People.

-
There are so many ways in which people just want to impress by having a certain character or presence online, every day. I have come across so many people who just take pictures on instagram and edit them, and just saying things to get a reaction recently. I always think, this girl is so amazing, this girl is so pretty, this girl is so talented, I want to be like her. But realistically, that is just my shallow mindset, and people probably display their lives in a very different way on websites like twitter and tumblr and instagram and they just want to get a reaction from people. To be honest, maybe they don't just want to run away from their lives, because their lives can be fine, but it gives the view to the people who do want to run away from their lives and be comforted by tumblr and twitter and instagram and feel, oh this girl is gorgeous, let me look through her pictures and I'll try and be like her and look like her. Grow my hair like her. Lose a bit of weight. Life will be fine. Will life be fine? Will life be exactly like the perfect girl's life? NO AND NO. I tried this. I tried to look like this girl I saw on tumblr who seemed to have a nice dress sense, and is absolutely gorgeous, and has lovely hair and skin. Even when I did try to be like her, I didn't get any more attention from anyone. I didn't feel any better, because I wasn't her. I am Cleopvtrv, and if I want to be like anyone, I should be a better version of myself everyday. The girl I wanted to be takes pictures of herself all the time and seemed very up herself. I'm not a shallow person. I don't want to be someone who just does things to take pictures and show my life to everyone. I love my life. I have a very happy life. I love my family, my friends, my house, my talents everything. I should be me. I should just love myself. Be myself. I'm not hated, I'm not treated badly, or even bullied, so I should be happy with my life. And that, my friends is what I'm talkin' bout. I am happy with my life and am quiet about it. I don't even want an iphone to instagram everything in my life and share it with my followers or a good quality camera to just make everything in my life seem beautiful and perfect. My life isn't perfect, but I LOVE MY LIFE and you should be happy with yourself, no matter what.

...Such eventful months.

My last blog entry was in October 2013. I have almost 4 months to persevere in my studies and my life generally, and I must say... I REALLY HAVE. I will write a list of things that have happened, good and bad in these months because so much has happened and it's so long to write as a paragraph. I celebrated my 18th birthday in December, Had an amazing house party a few days later and had my first kiss Went to my country of origin and it was amazing, I had a cultural epiphany Had holiday blues Went to a couple of clubs Still struggled with weight loss. Have a second gorgeous nephew. I have discovered that life is not about size and how you look, but how you feel about yourself and that will definitely project on the outside. I must say though after coming back from my holiday, I had quite a glow. My first(second) kiss was not as amazing as I thought it would be. Maybe because I was drunk, maybe because I knew the boy for ages so it was hardly romantic. Now that I am eig...

Carrie Bradshaw conquers all.

Well, it's been a long time since my last blog entry and countless things have happened. I can't even begin to explain how university has changed me since my last entry. So like one of my old entries, I'll try to list the events so that we can have a bit of a catch up. I did all my A-level examinations, and managed to finish secondary with an A* B and a C grade. With the struggles and distractions I suffered with in sixth form, I must say, I did quite a good job. I managed to get into an okay university, as I had to apply for not so great universities with my predicted grades. I decided, it's not going to be about the university now, it'll be about the grades I plan on achieving in uni. I started university and attended freshers week in a drunken, high blur. Yes, HIGH,  I have no intention of promoting substance abuse but although I was such a state during my freshers week, I undoubtedly enjoyed it.  I made a countless amount of friends, with boys and girls, a...

Epiphany after epiphany after epiphany

The older I get, I find that I have more frequent and stronger epiphanies. I also find these epiphanies all have a recurring theme, being that it always has something to do with me getting older and getting closer to what I envisaged myself being and looking like as an adult, when I was younger. I had a vague picture in my mind, but I wasn't sure if I would be able to get there at various phases of life. In retrospect, I am coming to terms with the fact that it has been really tough to get at the stage I am at now, and that I have done a whole lot to get where I'm at now, although, I frequently forget the struggle and hard work it took to get here, because I haven't yet got a job or achieved everything that I sometimes feel I could potentially achieve at 22. Some of these things are extremely materialistic things, like my own place, or my own car, or even driving lessons. But I have beyond a doubt, done a whole LOT. I think that now that I'm sexually active, I am also...
