:-p

lol at the people posting comments pretending to be my boyfriend.
There are only two people who have so few friends that they would have time to bother doing it. Who has time to sit, find a blog, think of something witty and mildly abusive to write, then post it?
Oh yeah, people who are so unhappy and jealous deep down that they have to try and put others down. I think that says it all...
gutted!

Eve tempted Adam... but should Adam have given in?

I haven’t written in a while.

The reason behind it is that I haven’t really known what to write.

A lot has changed, practically speaking anyway. I’ve finished school, and am preparing for university; new experiences, new knowledge and new people.

Yet I’m just as confused as ever.

There’s a new boy. He’s perfect, literally. He’s tall and handsome and sweet; he has that rare quality of being a best friend as well as a lover. And yet, as predictable as I am, I’m not satisfied.

Being my harsh cold-hearted self, other men like old flames and even new ones appear in my life and I have to stop myself acting upon my whims and desires.

But am I meant to simply accept that I want immediate gratification and so become happy for those short periods of time; or is the aim to avoid temptation, after all, perhaps Adam would be thought upon more kindly if he’d resisted the fruit, his own temptation.

Though if I am going to bring biblical stories into this moral debate I suppose it’s only fair to look at Eve’s role as a temptress. After all, many feminists now argue that it portrays women as seductresses; deflecting at least a proportion of the blame from Adam.

So is it the men’s fault for tempting me; or my own fault for finding it so hard to resist?

Your own individual stance on the debate will depend on how moral you want to be; or perhaps how righteous you think you are.

Though many of us would like to think we are inherently good, compassionate people who are perfectly capable of doing the ‘right thing’, whether it’s that chocolate in the cupboard or that handsome man standing at the bar or that person you want revenge on presenting you with a perfectly good opportunity… I guess we all give in to temptation at some point.

It all comes down to the question of is it just human nature, or is there a bit of both Adam and Eve in us all?

Casanova...

I have recently come to the realization that I currently a female version of Casanova.

Although I do not intentionally hurt people or mess them around, I seem to have a way of attracting those who in reality, I do not want.

And those I do want, I’m too scared to actually give them a chance.

I stick with the safe option. I believe firmly in the concept of ‘safety in numbers’. In my world, there's safety in the knowledge that I have numerous men after me.

It gives me comfort; makes me feel wanted; and most importantly, gives me power.

A quote I have come to live by comes from Oscar Wilde, A Woman of no Importance, “The one advantage of playing with fire… is that one never gets even singed. It is the people who don't know how to play with it who get burned up.” Yes, there’s always the danger of them all finding out; but it’s either living with that risk, or potentially missing out on something amazing and intense, and being left with something mundane and ordinary.

Why, when men have balls, do they act like they have none?

Just because I have consumed a rather large amount of alcohol, does not mean that my semi-drunken ramblings are not in fact, true.

Why, when men have balls, do they act like they have none?

Just because something’s new and slightly nerve racking does not mean that we should shy away from it, and go running back to the safety of someone we know well; especially since there is usually a very good reason why we broke up with them in the first place.

The common perception is that women do this frequently.

Well. So do men.

If we irrationally decide to run in the opposite direction of a new love interest; we need to at least have the decency to explain our reasoning for it.

It may seem like an overly simple point to make, but often, we don’t show this compassion to those brand-new and shiny people in our lives. Because deep down, we know that if we do; we will most likely talk ourselves out of the idea of running back into those familiar arms.

If you walk into a glass door once; you’re meant to learn not to do it again.

After all, you don’t want to look stupid.

We're better than this

I’m so frustrated.

Everything I hoped my friends would never turn out to be; they are.

Drug dependant;

Violent;

Suicidal,

Is this the same sad fate that will befall our entire generation?

I want to stop it; I want to help them,

But I don’t know how anymore.

It’s the drugs. The drugs that are the main issue.

A, when you take drugs you change, you become violent and uncaring.

S, when you take drugs, you feel powerful, you feel part of something bigger than just you or me; it gives you a false sense of security of your place in life.

What neither of you realise is that you’re better than that.
You deserve more than crawling about in a gutter, craving those substances you have become dependant on.

I want you to see it before it’s all too late.

I don’t want to lose you,

I don’t want you to lose yourselves.

Self Identity

Are we merely a product of our past experiences?
Or are we whoever we believe we are?

Because I've lied in the past, does that make me a liar for the rest of my life?
Becuase I went through a traumatic experience, does that make me permenantly vulnerable?

No, it doesn't.
We are who we choose to be. We can change; we all do through the course of our lives.
I'm not the same person I was two years ago, so noboby should assume that I am.

We all have control of our futures.
We can't blame the past for the people we are in the present.
