- I love and fear your insane observational skills.
- It was such a sweet gesture to adjust the car seat so that it would be more comfortable for me and it was just a little gesture that made me feel special and content
- I'm so grateful that you invited me to your sister's 21st, that I got to meet your wonderful and loving family. Your sister seems like such an inspirational, quirky and charismatic person (sounds like someone else I know) and your bro-sis relationship makes me smile so much
- You drove me home and you would have been so tired from a big and exhausting day
- You look so beautiful and calm when you drive
- I feel fearless, steady and content when you hold me
- Listening to your playlist in your presence is such a special feeling
- You are so caring and considerate and sweet ALL THE TIME - you are actually such a beautiful and kind hearted person
- Everything you do is so selfless
- I feel a good sort of funny whenever you come into contact with me, even when you're just holding my hand, or gently touching my shoulder or legs
- I find everything you do incredibly sexy
- You're patient with me (when it might be hard to be) when you know I'm nervous or scared
- You have a beautiful smile

Today
Lately I've been doing this.
I wake up and as soon as I wake up, I think, "how can I make today a wonderful day?" and legitimately I think of all the possibilities and it makes me so happy and I end up having a way more positive outlook on the day.
Today I am grateful for:
- The beautiful beautiful beaaaauttiifffuulllll weather, the shining sun, and the warmth
- Somewhere in the world, a hungry child is being fed
- Somewhere in the world, a patient is being saved by a doctor
- Somewhere in the world, someone is getting a hug, someone is receiving acceptance when they need it the most
- My family and friends are healthy and happy
- My grandma is courageous
- I am healthy and I have the potential shape myself into whatever I like
- This morning I got to hear you tell me you love me :)))
- Today I am surrounded by people I love
What's yours? :)

Introvert, extrovert
extrovert
an outgoing, socially confident person.
introvert
nounnoun: introvert; plural noun: introverts
ˈɪntrəvəːt/1.
a shy, reticent person.
a person predominantly concerned with their own thoughts and feelings rather than with external things.
"sociable person" --- well that's definitely not.. me.
"mingler" - ha.. haha
"social butterfly" - I'm still at the caterpillar stage
"party animal" - um.. nope.
So yes. I think I'm probably a self-confessed introvert. From time to time I do enjoy hanging out with many people and going out etc. but in complete honesty, I like spending time by myself. So much so that sometimes I get nervous that I'm never going to be able to be in a fully functional relationship with anyone. Sometimes, it crosses my mind, this fear, kind of, that people might get bored of me when I'm silent, or when I've taken a pause during a conversation for much too long, or when I just don't say anything at all. Most of the time I'm thinking so hard about everything related to what we're talking about, or the very opposite of what we're talking about, or sometimes just about things that are completely irrelevant and unrelated.
When my mind is revolving around you, I can't help but associate our conversations to thoughts of what I miss, thoughts of what I desire, thoughts of things I've learned about you that I love, thoughts of things that I disagree with and never have had the guts to tell you (of course I would type it up instead), thoughts of the ocean (this happens a lot), thoughts of the coolest things in the world I want to do with you, thoughts of your future, and mine, thoughts sometimes about whether we will always be this close, because the world works so unpredictably.
I don't know if that's a good or bad thing, but sometimes when you realise how much power you truly have over yourself, you realise that you really are the only one that can 100% influence yourself, shape yourself, control yourself, change yourself --- that power, that level of power you have over yourself is just so mind-blowing.
However, I think I forget the powerful influence that everyday people have on us.
I think it's a blessing that we meet so many people in life. Whether it's on the street, your best friend or the person that just pisses you off no matter how much you try to ignore them - it's a blessing because, each experience, each thing you learn about people you meet contributes so much in shaping who you become. It's like that whole idea about how failure is a good thing, and how that leads to success in the end. Choices, choices and endless choices that we subconsciously take and allow, to slowly piece up more and more to the story of who we are, and how we carry ourselves.
I used to compare so many things in my life, including just myself in general with everything that I saw, everything that I experienced or heard and with everyone that I met. Then one day, dad I had a conversation, just about random stuff, and he said that the biggest competition a person will ever have, is themselves. It's immeasurable, once you think of all the differences that separate you from other people.
AND IT JUST ABSOLUTELY FUCKS WITH MY MIND THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN 7 BILLION PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, and AND EVERYONE IS SO DIFFERENT. It's so hard to categorise people's personalities, how are we limited to such little vocabulary, how can we ever describe a person to the extent that we want to. We can't verbally, EVER express that. and it just blows my mind. The spectacular way in which the world goes by.
This person is cool.
This person is shy.
This person is lively.
This person is patient.
This person is fierce.
This person is an introvert.
This person is an extrovert.
And I guess It's crazy how significant family is, it's so crazy how two people can be such similar people - I don't know, you could have two people with the same aspirations, the same coloured eyes, the same favourite songs, the same outlandishness of their personalities - but they would each have a completely COMPLETELY different story to tell, what food they ate when they were a kid, what nickname their mum used to call them, what book they first read. It truly is a blessing. It really is.
How can I ever say, or how can anyone ever say that 'they're bored' when we open our hearts up to the outrageously MAGICAL world that surrounds us. This environment that never stops changing, growing, craving knowledge, craving acceptance.
We simply cannot not live our lives in such a blessed and magical place.
Today, I am lucky because there are no barriers for me, there is nothing stopping me from becoming the healthiest, happiest person I can be. Of course that would be the ultimate goal of so many people, but how do we get there? How far is that journey? how many steps am I meant to take? how many MORE do I need to take? what will the road be like? when will it be rough and when will it seem like I'm flying?
I guess it's rather exciting, in a sense that there's so much ROOM for me to improve... to improve my self-control, to be nicer to my body (sleep deprivation, sugar overload), etc. etc. We're always moving forward. Some people get there faster than others do, some people never get there, most people never get where they want to be... but then how do we determine what the "ultimate" place to be is? because everyone has a different perception of that. Whatever my dream goal is, could be completely insignificant to someone else. So why then, do we often meet people - and immediately attain this, I guess this sort of respect for them, this admirability of what they have achieved?
My ultimate place, is so blurry, but I'm so excited. I'm so excited to be scared of the future, the daunting future and decisions we will all have to make, but I'm so excited, because everything that is happening to me.. even as I type, even as I hear my parents chattering in the lounge room, even as my body is telling me please go sleep, even as I think of you as I type this.
It's because every.. single.. moment that we are living, is unique to us. It's our individual experiences that only we can feel ourselves, that we can relate to, understand to the deepest level possible.
The fact that each person out of the 7 billion people are living their own stories, the fact that as babies are being born new stories are unravelling, and as people pass away they have left parts of their stories with the people that have seen them on the street, they have shared their stories with their family, their friends... even just by breathing right now, even just by thinking what you are thinking while you are reading this - we are living our own story and building it by each choice we make, by each breath we take and by each moment we drink in hungrily.
That in itself, is the greatest, most immeasurable and intangible wonder.
