Things I'll never say...but I want to

I wonder what would happen if, just for a day, people had to say what they felt...

My Dragon

From yonder o'er
The high seas, fast encroaching:
Here Come The Dragons.

Dean & Son

"So one day, my son, this will all be yours." Mr Dean gestured grandly to either side of him as his father had done before to the neatly printed signs on either side of them.

Cute as a Button

Literally this is one of the cutest buttons I've come across


Patterns

I took some close up shots of some patterns that I found in my wardrobe from stuff that I love...

Matching Moods

"Whether you are sweet or cruel I'm gonna love you either way."

"Sometimes makes me sad and blue, wouldn't have it any other way."

Lena - Satellite


Being an Only

Today I was thinking why people never like the idea of being an 'only'. An only child that is. I'm an only and, personally, it is the best thing to be. Everyone who has a sibling can never understand the utter loneliness or utter peace you can get. If I wasn't an only I don't think I'd want to create things.


When I was younger I had a world of my own that I'd slip into. People used to mock my drawings and shyness and I'd let it get to me. No one would bother to understand me. They'd box me up, slam the lid down and walk away. I'd be left alone. I used to mind, cry and scream that it wasn't fair and how I'd try and fit in next year. It never worked and so I became the wallflower of the world. Never being understood and to a degree I'm still not. In my life I think only two people have seen the real me. A rare specimen and painfully shy. I think I was too discerning of people when I was younger, selecting the people I thought would like me. Vacuous is a word I like to use of the cast offs. They have a large circle of friends anyway so I don't get missed. This could be mistaken as a hard exterior but I have to have something or everyone will know what I really am. An air-head, dreamy, imaginative child.


When I was younger I made a promise with my best friend who is like a sister to me that we'd never grow up. We'd find something to stop us getting older. Neverland, magic, Hogwarts, T.A.R.D.I.S and finally vampires. We've tried everything. Though being an only means you don't give up on life and never surrender to the tide of normality. Like Leslie from Bridge to Terabithia.


To all the only children, young and old, guy and girl, lonely and content. Never give up and give people the satisfaction of bringing you down. Keep smiling and keep fighting back because one day, maybe one day, they will be sorry for everything they did....well you can dream


For my friend whose sunny smile and sarky remarks keep me going always

What if happiness could be bottled?

What if happiness could be bottled as easily as water? Would you save it for those rainy days where nothing feels right? I would.
