About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To save up enough money to go somewhere new!

ABOUT ME

I dont like trying to describe myself!! I like to be myself, to meet new people, to have a good laugh, and have fun! Im pretty happy and smiley, Im ok with silence.. i love my friends and family, and am so keen to see the world I am just about falling off my seat! I want to work in the mental health sector -- I need to do some more study -- another few years of a clinical course and then I'll be all set :)

PHILOSOPHY

Theres no point worrying about things you dont have control over, cos if you dont have control over them, there's no point worrying.. and theres no point worrying about things you do have control over, cos if you have control over them, theres no point in worrying..

Dont dwell on the past, its the past, you cant change it..

Smile! Be yourself, live life to the full, make mistakes, learn from them. Say you're sorry, speak your mind, grab opportunities, appreciate what and who you have in your life. Be kind to others, if you are unhappy, change whats going on.. live for the moment, dont worry about whats happening tomorrow or next week or next year, enjoy now, your circumstances could change by tomorrow!

Everyone has to die of something..life is meant to be lived, so enjoy it to the full

work to live, not vice versa..dont stress about your money, when travelling, do what you want, see what you want, try and taste everything available, take the opportunities cos they may never happen again...

Music, Movies, and Books

I love music...stuff from New Zealand, stuff from beyond..too much and too many different types to even start listing. try me on anything and i'm pretty likely to go with it :)
I try to read..but so much other stuff seems to be going on.. im currently working on one flew over the cukoos nest (and will be for a while!!)
In terms of movies, im pretty open, im not very good when it comes to subtitled movies though..i have trouble watching and reading at the same time!!
