Writing this article to purely distract people.

I’ve deleted the first line about twenty times because I can’t actually decide exactly what I want to focus on. I know I want this to be positive and upbringing, but just trying to pick the right words. Yah know, just trying to make yah crack a smile or even let out a little laugh.

I tried to think of a joke, but I don’t really have any. My life is pretty funny, but I can’t think of any good stories at the moment. Actually, now that I think about it writing to make you laugh is going to be difficult because witnessing me in person is much easier. People laugh at me when I think I am being ‘normal.’ What even is normal though? To be fair, I would never want anyone to describe as normal. Seems weird. Not fun. Bland. Boring. I’ll stop with the adjectives now.

You know what is exciting?!

I’m not really sure what is exciting, for some reason when I said the word exciting I thought about my feet. Weird aye? ßReasons why no one would ever describe me as normal. I thought of my feet because I have literally had bruises on both of my second toes for over a year now and it makes no sense. I mean, it makes sense because I know why they are bruised, but every time they are nearly healed some freak accident happens that re-bruises them for another 6 months. All started with getting my toe jumped on at volleyball to most recently wearing the wrong shoes to basketball.

Speaking about wrong shoes. Somehow I bought shoes that were a ½ size too small for me and I had been wearing them for a year before my feet (and toes) really started to hurt and then I finally realised that I was trying to pretend that I have small feet when that’s not the case at all.

You know what they say about big feet…

Better chances of walking on water one day.. jokes, but that’d be cool.

Speaking of water.. woot woot let’s watch the environment boom now. Reduced travel, reduced pollution. Maybe the world will last a little longer after all?!

Say heeyyyy, hooooo, say heeey, hooo!

Reminds me of Sister Act. What a movie! I want to fly in onto the stage. Only for the fun of it of course. Not to actually perform in front of a crowd. Although it does remind me of the two times I did the talent show at school and pulled some killer dance moves.

Still don't know how I didn't win? I mean who doesn't love someone flopping around on stage in sweatpants three times too big for them and an oversized hoodie? That's style right?! Probably the only points I got for that performance. Solid effort to say the least.

BUT WAIT! I just remembered we had breakaway pants and sang to Justin Bieber... whaaaat. Nearly just spewed in my mouth thinking about that now, but the act was pretty fun and we did kill it. May not have won the award, but we won some hearts for sure. No way, we couldn't have.

Now that I let some time pass, as in a whole 24 hours, I have the perfect story for you all.

Today in Adelaide, Australia, the weather was nothing short of perfect. Bright sunny skies, a slight wind, birds chirping, so why not take this opportunity to eat my lunch outside. Rang my sister as I always do, nice lunch wrap in hand, when I look down to see that I had let my burrito leak right onto the money spot. A nice splatter of grease stains on sky blue work pants right around the zipper area. Light enough to appear as if they were drying, but dark enough for everyone to see.

The location was quite unfortunate. It's a place where a work shirt isn't long enough to cover and too obvious to try to cover it up with anything else. What does a girl do? Go to the toilet and try to wash it out? Make it even darker? More obvious? Possibly. For me, I just left it.

Owning it as always.

No matter the times, no matter the circumstances, be you. Trust yourself, follow your gut, stand up for what you believe in even if you are standing alone. One small action can lead to bigger outcomes.

Some things need medicine to fix, most things need water to survive, but what we all have and what we all need is love. Spread it.

Sending everyone all the good vibes and shine.

Look for the light, don't be the barrier.
