I want to be a photographer
I may not be the best in the world but I really enjoy the feeling when you capture that moment.

My Obsession with Clothes
The need to shop can be a hard habit to break. For many people buying new clothing, shoes, accessories, books, CDs and other things can bring joy to a dreary day. It can make you feel a temporary rush but without proper budgeting - can destroy your life.
I used to be a compulsive clothes buyer. Often I felt a need to buy something new to fill my time. More often than not it was an item I wore once, maybe twice if it was lucky. I couldn't go into a shop and come out empty handed. If I got it in my mind I wanted something I won't stop obsessing about it until I had it. Needing new things is an addiction; learning to enjoy what you already have is a freedom! ..I have just come to learn this concept.
I haven't bought a new item of clothing (minus one small thing!?!) since June. JUNE. There hasn't been any particular reason, I just made an unthoughtful comment after Uganda that I wasn't going to buy anything clothes related until Christmas. I'm extremely pleased I've made it this far.
I'm going to London for the weekend tomorrow and I KNOW FOR A FACT I won't be able to resist a sneaky trip to Camden Market, Portobella Road or Topshop's Oxford Circus store. Will I be able to resist my temptations or give in to my old habit/addiction to shop?
(what I really want to hear is that I deserve to treat myself to a new sneaky tee!)

Belongings
Sometimes it makes me terribly sad, that everyone doesn't just fall in love once and stay in love. Wouldn't it be nice? Curled up inside each other like sleeping kittens. And I think even if you do find that person, that 100% perfect other, you still change, both of you, and hopefully the changes still allow you to stay in love, those two new people just as compatible as the people you were when you met and fell in love.
You know that pain in your gut when someone you've loved loves someone else? That forlorn feeling of "not me, not me, not me"? No, it's not you. But it's not your ex-lover either. Not the one you knew, not exactly. Not the same dance, not at all, even when it looks the same. How can it be, when you aren't there to do it? No one is as good at being you as you are. And he wanted you once. Your lover has changed, changed into someone that wants someone else, not you, not you, not you.
