'Aint no mountain high enough, aint no valley low enough.'

I'm not going to lie, it's been a while since inspiration struck me and i'm still a little devoid but it has been so so long, therefore i'm a little obliged really - never mind.

I've been going through a really rough time in recent days but as the saying goes, through pain you find strength and I've definitely realised that my friendships have a lot of strength and more depth than I really ever thought they did. My best friends have been so supportive and I couldn't ask for a better set of people! I get them and they get me so it works wonderfully, and if you've ever met them you'll know how amazingly overtly sexual they are. It's... weird, but cool. ;] I've also found that quite a lot of people who i thought (as the term states) 'nothinged me' actually do care a great deal and i'm eternally grateful for the support.

When I have time I shal change this photo to a more recent one :]

I can't say I'm not scarred and wonderfully untouched by recent events, because I'd be lying. Really badly. But nevertheless I believe that it has developed me as a person and I'm a little bit more mature than I was the day before. I dread the day i'm senile and suddenly it works the opposite way and you become less mature (excuse the unintentional pun) each day. Dear God, please shoot me if this happens?

I love the little things that people do or say that can just make your day instantly. It could just be a little innocent but genuine smile at someone and you've made their day! You may not know it but it's worth a try, besides what is there to lose? If they've had a crap day then they need a genuine smile and if you've had a crap day then putting on a genuine smile is proven to lift your mood, even for just a second. Awesome. But, as with all of life, there is the antithesis. How irritating. If we are mindful of what we say about or to people then there's less of a chance that you'll be hung up over something someone said to you and then you've got more time to think about other things that may well be positive. It's especially bad when it's someone close to you that says something a little offensive and suddenly what would be merely a scratch on the surface if said by anyone else is now unduly knifing you where it hurts most. Though being all philosophical I, ironically, am quite guilty of not thinking before I speak very often but as is true with most people (unless you're Simon Cowell) you can give out the best advice in the world but you can never take your own.

All my love,
Libby :]
