Magic

"We should love, not fall in love. Because things that fall get broken." 
-Taylor Swift-

I know I said I probably wouldn't blog soon. But here I am. Random thought: Love seems really scary. To me anyway. If love was put in my hand I would probably look like this: 

"What am I supposed to do with it?"

People say love is the best thing on Earth. I think it's the strangest thing on Earth. It's such a mystery and even though I love mysteries, this particular mystery seems WAY too overwhelming. 

Also, notice how fairy tales are usually associated with love? (e.g. true love breaks the spell.) Another quote by the lovely Taylor Swift:

"When I was a little girl i used to read fairy tales. In fairy tales you meet Prince Charming and he's everything you ever wanted. In fairy tales the bad guy is very easy to spot. The bad guy is always wearing a black cape so you always know who he is. Then you grow up and you realize that Prince Charming is not as easy to find as you thought. You realize the bad guy is not wearing a black cape and he's not easy to spot; he's really funny, and he makes you laugh, and he has perfect hair."

Which brings me to something I've been wondering about - how the hell do you tell the difference between the "bad guy" and "Prince Charming"? Doesn't seem easy at all to me. Doesn't seem simple at all to me. Doesn't seem safe at all to me. 

But then, Taylor also said something else:

"To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death."

And so, I have a confession to make. I am deathly, utterly, completely afraid about being in love. Not the family love or the puppy love, or the love you have for friends. But love which is mistaken for love that binds two people together for the rest of their lives. 

It's hard to keep yourself from getting hurt. Things change, people change, feelings change. All I can say is, I was warned and my guards will be up.

Superman

"Cause' I'm no superman, I hope you like me as I am."

I'm not really sure how you start these kind of things but I will assume you are reading this and are new to me so: 

Hello there, my name is Kimberley. No, I do not look like the person in the picture in this post because 

1) I am not a guy.
2) I do not intend to be a guy. 
3) My name isn't Joe Brooks (but feel free to check him out because he seems really talented)

I will skip the formalities and all the nonsense about me because that will be found under my profile if you dying to find out who I am and some things about me.

Anyway, I'm not exactly new to blogging, but I am not exactly very good at it either so please bear with me, or you can just click the little red 'x' on the top left hand corner of the screen (if you are using mac) / top right hand corner of the screen if you are using windows. Besides, I don't think anyone will see this because blogging seems to be getting outdated and is probably in for those famous bloggers out there - clearly I am not one. 

Also, my life isn't very exciting considering I'm still a student and have to spend possibly the next 5 over years continuing my studies. FYI, when you are in the country I am in, you're only REALLY considered legal when you are 21. Which will take some time and by then, I'm not sure if anyone will still blog or read blogs anymore.

Ok, moving on... To make this post a little inspirational and "interesting" I will be including a quote from one of my all time inspirations. Mostly because I have no idea what else to blog about.

"If you're lucky enough to be different, don't you ever change."
-Taylor Swift-

This quote really inspires me because everyday, people starve themselves to be skinny, straighten their hair because theirs is too curly etc. Why try to blend in with the rest of the human population? Why try so hard to fit in? 

Maybe if you don't fit in somewhere, it's because you are meant to fit in elsewhere, or because you're meant to stand out to make that difference, to start a change in the world. Everyone has it's purpose. And everyone is beautiful in their own way.

And with that, I will be leaving y'all. I don't know when will be the next time I blog again. Probably not soon. Not that anyone really cares anyway. 

peace?
