The Secrets!

What secrets did that key unlock?

Can you imagine the kind of secrets that key held or holds (if ever found).

Was it the diary of a teenager, “forever” experiencing a unrequited crush, or is it the key to unlock to the secrets of the world?!

Or was it Grandpas lock to the shed.

Oh, what could that key unlock?!

Who are you?

Daily writing prompt
If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?

I kept re-scheduling this one. I wanted to write a lovely post about this, because I dream…yes, even as a adult…who could I be? The big reason that I keep rescheduling was because I can’t narrow it down to one character. I just cannot. Sometimes who I want to be, changes on my mood/s and the situation. Why limit myself to just one character?!

So I have decided to show a few characters, you can try and guess which character represents what mood:

Yargh…Grr…

Which animal would you compare yourself to and why?

It has to be the Lioness. Family is a big thing to them. They work well with each other, but also like to be alone. They work hard to survive. They will try their best to keep their cubs alive from young male lions and strange lionesses. Stable in a crisis. They never get the credit (haha). They like to sleep =D They are so gentle with their cubs. I think that’s what I relate to the most, their gentleness with their cubs. I’m fierce but gentle with those I love. While I know that a lot of mother animals are gentle with their bubbies. I find a lionesses ability to be calm amazing!

Will you not be my Valentine?

I was inspired to write this post after I saw this article.

Costly mark-up from today as Aussies hit with $300 expense: ‘Ridiculous’

The expense? Roses. Its only some roses and florists though, it’s not all florists.

My partner (its still weird calling him my husband) have never really been into Valentines, so its not that big of a deal really. In fact, on Friday the 16th he and I are taking my Mum out for dinner =D We received a voucher, that made it so that if it was just us two, there wouldn’t be enough left over for us two to have dinner again. If my mum comes along, we get at least $50 each. Which is enough for a meal and a cocktail =D

I don’t think…

Admit it, that got you,hehe

After yesterday though, and it wasn’t just Twitter either. It was all the social media yesterday that wound me up. There was literally a person on Instagram having a go at a account, because they had to take a chick away from its parents as it was not being looked after. Which happens a lot the first time for birds (just a little tidbit there). That account was going about “how a baby always needs it mother”. They kept having a go and the account owner is a Ornithologist.

A Ornithologists is a bird specialist.

This is what the day was full of. Just really stupid, stupid people. As I was sitting there, and once I had actually come off of Twitter, and went to cuddle one of my Charlie Bears, I thought to myself. “Maybe it is actually me”.

Not in “I’m a horrible person” kind of way, or extremely depressed kind of way”. It was more a certain “I am not equipped for this human world” kind of way. Not sad or bad, just…I guess, honest. As I went to hug my plushies I thought about how there must be some sort of deep psychological reason WHY I need to be surrounded by plush animals. The simplest reason I could think of was “I am just not equipped for this human world”.

Finally!

We have finally had a couple of really warm days, and I already miss the rain, haha.

I am just never happy, haha. We also had a visit from our neighbours and they “dropped” a blue tongue lizard on us. I left out some water for it, but we’re not sure if it’ll just make its way back to our neighbours yard. They have 3 cats, and have netting over their yard, so the cats cannot get out. Which means that the lizard would have been stuck in the yard, with 3 cats, unable to go anywhere. Which would not be good for the lizard.

I miss the rain already…a poem by a whining Australian

I miss the rain, already,

The rain kept me sane,

I miss that nature’s champagne,

No, I don’t want a hurricane.

I miss the rain, already,

My plants will now have to abstain,

from that wet stain,

that waters aim,

That makes me feel vain, when your petals bloom. (that does not rhyme).

To change is to be human

I’m sensing a “theme” this week, haha

Adults Are Sharing The Strong Beliefs They Once Had That Eventually (And Unexpectedly) Changed With Age – Buzzfeed; Wed, 10 January 2024 at 9:46 am ACDT

Article : “Recently, I asked the BuzzFeed Community to share an opinion or belief with me that ultimately changed as they grew older, and some of them were totally unexpected. Here are some of their eye-opening responses:”

What about ourselves?

I used to believe that people were generally, nice. These days, I am not so sure. Or at least, that’s what the media will only present. I also used to listened to mainstream media, now I am more interested in independent and doing my work.
