I am of opinion that there truly exist some people, to whom everything in life comes very easily. Frightening as it is, it's even harder to diagnose the reasons here for. It's not necessarily an abundance of wealth or beauty, but rather some sort of a inner repelling mechanism. This mechanism allows the holder to somehow repel anything bad from ever happening to them! The result is that they seamlessly glide through life...

Let me give you a example of this: Jane is born naturally blonde, tall, thin and gorgeous. She's smart and likeable, sensible and very popular. She achieves A-grades without too much trouble, she's never had to diet, she meet one great guy after another and she's always happy!

I seams impossible, but I have experienced first hand-these people do exist! Someway somehow it all just goes right for them and life is always their oyster.

The first instinct we might have when coming across these creatures, it jealousy! Be not afraid, we are all distant relatives of Eve and to lust after something is in our blood! Just imagine how happy you'd be if you "had it all"???

But I have to wonder...is it really all that? This might be the oldest possible cliché, but is it not our hardships and worries that shape the people we are? Would I really appreciate anything as much if I did not sweat blood and tears and work my ass of for it? Was the best part of achieving not the journey rather than the destination?

There is more to us than we know!! We just need the right circumstances, hard as they may be, to bring forth our inner warriors! You'll never be a fighter until you fight for something, you'll never be a survivor until you've hit rock bottom...and survived!

Would you be as close to your friends if you never shared hard times?

You can't have the t-shirt before you've been there and done that? Can you?

The late great Winston Churchill said these simple words: "never, never, never give up!"

Nobody will ever say that it's enjoyable or fun to suffer. It's not. But the silver lining is in the facts that one day the clouds will clear. And when they do...aaaah just think...

The reason for existence...

I feel it is my duty, firstly, to compose a condensed reasoning for my blogging. This reasoning will also be my first official blog ever :-)

Everyone has something they're good at, right? Some are naturally athletic, some are born to cook, others can paint.... (you get the picture!)
Well I've only ever been exceptionally good at one particular thing: (insert drum roll here please) being a awesome best girl friend! Throughout my life it has time and again been confirmed to me-I make one hell of a good friend!

I don't know just how it came about, but I've always seemed to be really good at making friends with other girls! We just click and people instantly feel comfortable and close to me! I'm good at giving advice, really honest, I have a very cool, calm and collected view of life, and (if I may say so myself) I'm very wise.

But all of this is for you to judge! I'm gonna try and take my skill to a new level, by sharing my best girl friend advice, ideas and philosophies with anyone and everyone who wants to listen.
So here goes...
