I am writing this, because I haven't simply written for a few weeks, Maybe months. I've lost track of time. I'm writing to thank someone, a friend, in fact. Someone who reminded me of the importance of writing. It felt strange. It felt like…
There I sit, eagerly awaiting, For the games to begin. With my Team GB flag in hand. The atmosphere is overwhelming. We're all in this together, No matter what race, age, religion. The commentator starts to talk. My mind is racing. The…
Jump, jump, jump, Her mind said. No, no, no! Screamed the voice in her heart. You are wanted, You are needed, You are not alone. Tears stream down her face, This is it. Her life flashes before her eyes, She doesn't want to hear any more…
Tonight she rested her head, Not on her pillow, But the grass. Tonight she looked up, Not at the ceiling, But the stars. Tonight she closed her eyes, She dreamt of love, Not of hate. Tonight. Only tonight.
I'm stepping out into the cold night, I can see the bright lights, They tell me, And I know, That I'm ready to take flight, I'm heading off to fight, To fight for my what's right. This is war. This is war. ___________________________…
There it is. The results envelope. 2 years of work. My heart is beating faster than ever. My hands are sweaty as I reach for the envelope. There I am. Standing amongst all my friends. I'm nervous, to say the least. I look down at the env…
In a world of your own, You sit there, With not a single care. I see you every day. You seem so lost, so tired. Your eyes. The deepest brown. I can almost see the pain in them. Once you looked up. Right at me. And our eyes met for a few se…
Today is just one of those days. EVERYONE has them, and there is no denying it. It's one of those days where it seems to me that no matter what I do, or what I say can impress anyone. Days like these I feel like everyone picks out the f…
Exam month. June. How much I well and truly loathe it. The stress has well and truly got to me. Injured my writing arm a few days before my first exam, tonsillitis a few days later and then a high temperature. 3 exams down, 2 to go. Psychol…
The pain and hurt felt Upon losing someone. A friend. Someone you cared for, Someone you trusted, Someone you shared all the good times with. Everything's gone, In a space of a few hours. You realize they don't care, They can't be trusted,…
Not having to speak to someone Not having to stare into their cold eyes and listen to their useless talk. Just sitting silently alone, Looking outside at the cars driving by, The people walking past, The joy of having that special moment o…
2 years we've all spent together, Through the good and the bad. We've cried. We've laughed. We've inspired one another. To be the best that we can be. How will I find other friends like you? When I move on to a different place? Though we'll…
No matter how fast she ran, She could never reach the end. She could never manage to reach her goal. It kept getting further and further away. And there were many hurdles to overcome. So, one day. She made up her mind. She decided to give …
If I die young, bury me in satin Lay me down on a, bed of roses Sink me in the river, at dawn Send me away with the words of a love song. - The Band Perry. I've been trying to write lots this week trying to fit it around work. I'll po…
I love punctuation. Because without simple things like this . or this , This piece of text would drag on and on and on without you as the reader being able to take a breath or pause for a moment to enjoy the sentence or try and understand t…
They don't know me, Yet they judge me. I can't hear them speaking, But I can see their lips moving. Spelling out my name. Their expressions blank. Behind that mask, there is a creature. With a stone cold heart. Who cares not about my feelin…
She looks in the mirror and asks herself every day, Is she beautiful? A joke or a comment about her image, Stains the white canvas in her mind. And then she wonders, Is she thin enough? Is she tall enough? Is she worthy? The words clutter …
I can hear the sound of the rain, furiously bombarding my window. The wind howling, shrieking, crying out my name. The trees roar with frustration, their branches crashing against each other. I lift the blinds and peek outside. The branche…
I wish every day were like today. Imagine if every day was a birthday. Or the day before a birthday. The feeling of feeling beyond happy. The joy. The excitement. The attention, affection. Sometimes from complete strangers. Although anot…
"What would come, would come... And he would have to meet it when it did." There are many times when I'm reading a book, I come across a wonderful quote. This is one from 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire' said by Hagrid. For me, this q…
Bored as ever and following advice from a Twitter page, I decided to see how my some of my friends would react to the following text: "I've left the body at the house. Text me if you forgot the post code." The following is a list of the re…
We never really know the truth behind a persons smile. We never really know the depth of someone's pain. We can never truly identify the happy and the unhappy from what we see. My friend Sam writes a blog. She downloaded Opuss a few days…
“You can’t wait for inspiration, you have to go after it with a club” – Jack London And that's exactly what I did. Haven't been able to write for days, hence the lack of posts on Opuss. Until I saw this quote early this morning...
Time. 16:45. I saw him for the first time. It was December. Ice cold. And there he lay outside the GAP store, under the display window. On Regents Street. He was curled up under a dirty white fur coat. It was wrapped around him, not quite c…
Don't let someone who gave up their dreams, talk you out of yours. There have been many times in my life and it's happened recently as well when people I know mock me and talk me out of pursuing a dream I've always had. They tell me to fo…
PROVE THEM WRONG.
I just want to thank every beautiful follower for following, liking and commenting on my posts. It's only been 8 days since I joined. You're all amazing. Thank you, thank you, thank you x
Running, splashing in the puddles, Screaming like a screeching baby. The thunder's terrifying. I look back. They're still there. I trip...falling. I shout - wind deafening my screams. There's a bang, I hold onto my chest, I can't breath…
When something bad happens, you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you OR let it strengthen you.
We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing. - George Bernard Shaw
It's not who you are that holds you back, it's who you think your not.
Pause for a few seconds To observe the flow of your breath. Become aware of a silent, But powerful sense of presence. Remember YOU. Your presence is a unique gift to the world.
Character is how you treat those who can do nothing for you.
“Discover who you truly are and fully give every aspect of your uniqueness to the world. This is your path to an extraordinary life.” I've subscribed to TinyBuddha.com for over 2 years now. Every morning, they bless me with beautiful emai…
Hi there, just scroll away. I'm just doing what I do best. I have ALevel exams in less than two months. They had to create this app now didn't they. I'm addicted. Somebody help me.

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live. - Albus Dumbledore
Sometimes you forgive people simply because you still want them in your life. 2 years ago at the start of college I made this really great friend. We had so much in common and we had similar future aspirations. We loved each others compan…
I'm proud to be different. It's the best thing about me.
Living in London, I use public transport nearly every day to get to where ever it is I need to be. The form of transport being bus/train/tram/tube. Though I do enjoy using public transport, there are many aspects of it which I believe to be…
Boredom is a funny thing, my friends. It makes you say and do all sorts of things. Like this. I've spent the past few minutes laughing at the Wikipedia definition of boredom. "Boredom is an emotional state experienced when an individual …
Sometimes in the rush of our lives, we forget to actually take a moment. A moment of just thinking about nothing. It's peaceful for the mind, puts it at rest. I read up somewhere a while ago in a book that to create peace/tranquility within…
Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them…
