If you haven't heard what's going on tomorrow you've probably been living in a small dark cave in the middle of no where....
Well just in case.... it is the day that 'commoner Kate' becomes Princess Catherine and marries into the Royal Family.
Being British and living in a society constantly surrounded the Monarchy I have, of course, taken some interest into the Royal Family. I'm sure they are wonderful people and if I ever got the chance the meet them, I probably would. But I'm not a big Royalist. Sure, if someone was talking bad about them I would probably end up defending them with all my British pride but I have my views on the fairness of it all.
Luckily for you, my post today isn't about my views on the Royal Family. Nor is it about soon to be Princess Catherine and Prince William.
My post today is purely about William Mountbatten-Windsor and Kate Middleton. Tomorrow, 1/3 of the worlds population will not only be watching the Royal family gain a Princess, but will be watching a young boy and a young girl promising themselves to each other and vowing they will look after each other for the rest of there lives. Tomorrow will be the day the world stops to see love.
I was watching an interview when William and Kate were talking about how they met, there proposal and there break up. And suddenly in the middle of a serious interview Prince William make a joke and Kate giggled like a little girl. From that moment on I didn't see two high profiled figures talking about one of the most famous days that will go down in history. I saw two lovers talking about there wedding day. Its nice to know that even if you have everything in the world its nothing compared to love. It lets you know that love is forever and that no matter who you are, you can be happy.
I mean, sure, on my wedding day I will probably have less than 100 people watching as I walk down the isle in my low budget dress to an out of tune organ. Nothing compared to the wedding we'll all witness tomorrow. But no matter what, a wedding is about love, so it is always as special as the next, no matter how big or small. (I would also like to add at this point I have no desire to get married for a very very long time.... i'm 18 for crying out loud! :P)
To conclude I would like to congratulate Kate and William on there engagement and I wish them a life time of happiness together in the future.

Pain is the price you pay for love.
I read another blog that talks about love.
Every day it posts pictures and stories about heartache, about longing, about fulfilment and passion.
About romance, betrayal, ruined pasts and happy ever afters.
Sometimes its really hard to read.
And others, it makes you believe again.
One post talked about how a girl had lost everything and most importantly she has lost her one love. She finished the post by saying that the thing that hurt the most was that all she wanted was a hug from the one boy she lost.
Then I read that pain is the price we pay for love....
When I was sat down today I saw a small child run to his dad. He than ran back to his toys. He than ran towards a door and than back to his dad. It became evident that the small child, who's name I will never know, ran at every opportune moment he could.
Truth is we're all running. Running away from a dead end job. Running from the people who taunt you. The truth. The settled down life. Your fears. Love.
Or is that the pessimistic way of looking at it? Maybe we're running towards new opportunities. Running towards people who love you. New experiences. Your dreams. Love.
Wherever we're heading we're getting there fast. If having love in this world means dealing with pain then surely its worth it. Everythings worth it. I think the hard part is trust. Not even just trusting other people. Having trust in yourself that no matter what happens everything will be okay.

Did she get off the plane?
"Call it what it is..."
Yeah... i've heard that phrase before.
When you go to describe a situation, a moment, a memory and someone says "Just call it what it is" and it seems likes a bases of moving on from it, a reason to stop thinking about it.
You can make it seem like it's the best thing in the world and then in a blink of a second it can be filled with so many of your own insecurities it's lost in a tangled web. You can look for things that just aren't there or miss things that always were.
They say "beauty is seen in the eye of the beholder", so surely everything else in life can mean something different depending on who's green/bluey/golden eyes you see it from. Surely every time we try to define something we are calling it "what is it" because what else could it be? It's what we see it as.
Or maybe, it's the blindness we choose to see it as. No matter who's green/bluey/golden eyes we see it from.
This post probably isn't making much sense. I don't want it to.
I guess what i'm trying to say is that everyone is trying to see what things really are.
"She didn't say hey to me today, I must have done something wrong"
Or looking for things that aren't there.... and of course if you look hard enough you'll find a "reason" to give up.
"No-one invited me out today, everyone must hate me"
Or your just too scared to open up. So you miss out on things.
Rachel: "I never got a chance to say I love you"
OR
You could risk getting hurt, call it whatever the hell you want and stop looking for reasons to give up.
You can't explain everything by analysing it. Sometimes you've just got to believe you already know "what it is" and trust a little. You may be surprised.

Things you never knew...
This morning I managed to make my 'lay in' last until 12! It was so nice to just relax for a little while. Sometimes all you need it just a little sleep to make you feel so much better :)
So before I get onto my topic of conversation for today I want to apologies for my lack of posts recently! I know its been a while, but the way I see it is that this blog is all about living your life and that's what I've been doing! And there is a lot to talk about! I've also had my head under books recently so i'm about to put my life on hold for school work, hopefully it'll be worth it.
So this morning I went for a walk. I quite often do this when i'm feeling stressed, or if i want to clear my head, or just to relax before i start my school work. Just as i was on my way home i passed three people in deep conversation. Two of them were obviously married and i recognised the garden they were standing at the bottom of to be theirs. The Third of them looked like a friend. As i passed i took out my headphones and good mornings were exchanged. Just as i was about to walk on one of the ladies said "We see you walk down here all the time! Its such a lovely day to do it" i smiled and replied " Its is such a lovely day! I walk when ever i'm about to do my school work"
This then erupted into conversation with them asking about my school work and congratulating me on passing my car test (I didn't acutally say anything about it they had seen me driving) and talking about me passing my bike test and my life in general. It turns out the couple have lived in that house for 18 years and have watched me grow up. Seen me climbing trees, get stuck, playing, saw me leave for my first day of school, see me going to my nans, see me fall out with friends and make up. They've seen me change my whole life and up until today i've never talked to them once. This may seem all quite odd to some people, but i live next to OAP counsel homes so these people just take notice of lives. Its odd to think that they've cared about me and my life for my whole life. Have been happy for me when i passed my car test, wondered if i going to uni soon, thought about how old i was now and i never knew.
I guess we just assume people don't see or people just don't care when in fact they do. If i hadn't of gone out today i may never have talked to them, but that wouldn't have stopped them caring.
People care even when you don't see it.
People watch you grow and change.
People can surprise you.
People care even when you don't see it. Remember that.

Happiness isn't getting what you want, but wanting what you have...
The title is a quote one of my best friends gave me in a book for my Birthday.
Happiness
I think human beings are so odd sometimes. And I am guilty of this too!
You live, breathe and sleep for the moments of true happiness, and when there finally here instead of enjoying it you worry about when its going to end.
The higher you climb the harder you fall
Karma
Too good to be true
Fate
- Just some of the excuses we have in our world to explain things that happen. I'm a strong believer in Karma and Fate, but not the extent you can blame it when something goes wrong. At what point in your life should you STOP working hard and say "Its ok, if its meant to be.... it will be" Because that's irresponsible. If its meant to be it WILL be, but for it to be you've got to put the work into it. You know?
I wish people lived in the moment more. Because then you could enjoy the moments of true happiness instead of always looking for a reason for it to end. But living in the moment doesn't stopping your life, stopping looking towards the future and stopping what your working towards.
If you look for something, your more likely to find it...
