Roar in the Afterglow

The name of this blog is taken out of two different songs that keep me going, while there are many, as you may have seen on my playlist, these two sum up that whats most important. I wanted to write down the part of the lyrics that mean the most but also share the songs for you to listen in case you hadn't heard them before. The first one is "Roar" by Katy Perry which I guess that many of you have heard before. Im going to let the following lyrics speak for itself. I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath Scared to rock the boat and make a mess So I sat quietly, agreed politely I guess that I forgot I had a choice I let you push me past the breaking point I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything You held me down, but I got up Already brushing off the dust You hear my voice, your hear that sound Like thunder, gonna shake your ground You held me down, but I got up Get ready 'cause I've had enough I see it all, I see it now

So now I'm here, I mean I'm here, in England. I'm in a city that is somewhere between Shakespeare and Tesco (and I assume that's British :D) still trying to find my way around, the city is a maze, the campus is bigger than I've ever been used to and and the University corridors and all the not making any sense lecture room numbers are making my head spin and have me running up and down each morning and afternoon.

Well there will bee many societies ( including Trekking the countryside and Hogwarts which we all are eager to get to take part in... Yes We Are !) But even tough I'm here, I'm not going to w

I know some lovely couples, and living with them the past two weeks got me inspired to write the following. The perfect match isn't if you like the same colour, share the exact taste of music or enjoy a similar sport. That perfect match is all that in between. Appreciate eachother as amazing individual human beings. Goodnight <3

As a teenager that continued, I was glad to just be taken with, to not be left alone.I remember a specific incidence (at a scouts camp actually) where my teammates, decided that we should cheat in a competition task where the leader didn't play a big part, by telling the others that I was the group leader since I was the weakly talented one....the only task my teammates gave me during that day long competition was to keep a track of time. I was happy just to get to be with them,that the allowed me to be there, but within me, as so many other times, it did hurt, I just didn't say anything and did my best to bury those feelings... well, we ended up winning that competition, but the way to do th
