Does anyone else feel like if they don’t do things right now, they’ll never happen?

ladyintheattic:

I’m 15, and I feel that if I don’t write a book, draw a masterpiece, or do something amazing now, that it’ll never happen. I feel as though I’ll have no life after I turn 20, like that’s the end, so I’d better do everything now. I don’t feel like I’m going to die, but as though all creativity and wonder will suddenly leave me, and I’ll become a dull grown up.

Always felt it that way.

Being sixteen, I felt the exact same way from about 13-15. I always saw life as a strict progression from point a to point b and it made me really worried for myself. I couldn’t imagine retaining any sense of creativity after twenty either.

There’s a book by Chris Guillebeau called the Art of Nonconformity, and although I don’t agree with everything he says, it really helped me look past the predictable parts of my life. He’s also got a website, if you just google Art of Nonconformity.

Also, there are tons of amazing people out there who grew up fine, and are still creative and silly, and not at all boring adults. Like Neil Gaiman, for instance. 

I’m really bad at advice, so sorry about all that advice giving I just tried to do, but I can relate to how you’re feeling.

Hey everyone. I commented to my sister that I’d gained a follower, so she went on a campaign to get more followers herself. Then, seconds later, she got another follower.

So, everyone, anyone, help me out here.

If you decide to follow me on this day, I promise to be a quality blog.

I’m a Hufflepuff. If that helps.

I need to win this.

Thank you.

This Is Me

 Alright, I haven’t written many blog posts. This is for good reason. I hardly ever have anything really important to say and I don’t know I’m just not bloggy.

Today, however, brings the exception.

I have watched Charlie McDonnell’s videos for a while now, and they get an absolute thumbs up from me. I mean that in the sense of I watch them and then literally give my screen a thumbs up and exclaim “Now I feel all fuzzy inside!”

I never quite got into his music, because I thought, “What if his music is bad, or annoying, or just not quite right and then every time I watch a video of his I feel guilty for not appreciating his music?” In fact I used to skip the videos he was singing in, because I was afraid of change. I was used to him talking.

Then (in this not so interesting to the outsider tale) I went to his website to see if Blink was there, and I saw his little album, and his picture was just so inviting like he was conveying through the photograph that we were both a little nervous about the music but just give it a go! 

So I did.

I had to stop, halfway through, to tell all two of my followers that his music is…

How should I put this?

Good? Nah, how about endearing? Mmm, adorable? Funny? Good for bobbing along to? Charming? Silly? Now that I’ve pressed myself, the right word is eluding me. Let’s just say I love it. I love it like something that is friendly and warm and makes me feel all fuzzy inside and gets an absolute thumbs up.

I don’t post often, but now I did, and it was sort of boring, but this has been a night of discovery. 

I am very, very happy.

Also I like gifs so- 

That’s what I did to myself when I realized what I’ve been missing out on. I only used one featuring Charlie because this was a post about him if that wasn’t obvious…

Also, on an unrelated note, I am very fond of gifs but I only know how to get them off photobucket… if anyone on the internet wants to drop me a line on where else they come from, the secret behind their powers, how to save them, really anything. I would appreciate it. Good bye then, for this blog post… how do you sign off blog posts? Do you just stop? I wouldn’t mind an answer to that either.

Gosh, I just got a bit further, and this is just amazing. I mean, he’s putting some interesting thoughts into fun little songs. He can also be… words escape me.
