It's Beautifully Impossible

"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast" ~Lewis Carroll

You should never underestimate the inopportune and wildly impossible scenarios your heart may create. Love is a curse without a cure. Hindered by distance, pain, hurt, guilt, regret, mistakes and unfortunate circumstances. I won't lie, it comes with some of the finest of moments and the happiest of times, but those are always balanced by the hardest of decisions and most inconvenient timings. Just when you think you have it all figured out, there is something to shove that back in your face...

  

Cloudy day?

Ever traveled overseas, planned out this awesome day...and it's cloudy..thus ruining the spectacular photos you potentially could have had? Well never fear!

A Fascination with Doors.

If you have ever been to Europe..in particular Italy and Greece, you will understand the feeling of downloading your holiday photos and realizing about a third of them are of DOORS! There are red doors, blue doors, doors that lead nowhere, doors that open to doors, 3 doors that all lead to the same room, doors to an outdoor courtyard, doors with no purpose, doors you cant open, doors within doors...it honestly is crazy.

Music. Saves. Lives.

There's a song that can define every moment of your life. Whether it be the happiest or the saddest moment or the little insignificant moments in between. For Me, it's pop punk bands that saved my life. Like the quote below, music is so much more than the surface tune. It's the lyrics, it's the message, it's the story they tell. It's the thought that no matter what time of day or month or year, music will always be there. As time moves on, it will stay the same, be by your side, forever embedded in your life. Oftentimes the lyrics leave footprints on your heart and tears in your eyes. Music takes you on a journey through your soul that no one else could ever do. Without music, I know my life would be hollow and dank. 

How to Save a Life..

"No one knows for certain how much impact they have on the lives of other people. Oftentimes, we have no clue. Yet we push it just the same" ~13 Reasons Why by Jay Asher

It's so unbelievably true. We impact on other lives without even knowing. Whether good or bad...everyone does it. Putting a smile on your face every day at work or being super enthusiastic about the most mundane of jobs...it's incredible how much happier you can make everyone else around you feel.

“Find our eyes and our souls will be free”

“Find our eyes and our souls will be free”

Along with my obsession with quotes and lyrics, I also love subtexts and hidden messages in movies and poetry. The movie “Coraline” has all these things. I fell in love with it at the opening credits!

If there was no tomorrow...

I am a lover of quotes and this one from the novel “Before I Fall” by Lauren Oliver is perfect.

“Maybe you can afford to wait. Maybe for you there is a tomorrow. Maybe for you there’s one thousand tomorrows, or three thousand, or ten. So much time you can bathe in it, roll around in it, let it slide like coins through your fingers. So much time you can waste it. But for some of us there’s only today. And the truth is, you never really know.”

It’s beautiful and it’s true. What if there wasn’t a tomorrow?

Introducing Myself

“Can't put all of myself out in the world, gotta have a little mystery to me" ~Kellin Quinn (Sleeping With Sirens)


I just love that quote. I guess it's true. If everyone knew everything about you, what else is there to keep it interesting?

Anyway, I thought my first post should introduce a little about myself :)  My name is Courtney and I am from Australia. I have a lot of crazy dreams and aspirations that I want to achieve in my lifetime. I have a growing list of things I want to do/see, things I want to create, places I want to go, things I want to live through, people I aspire to be like, dreams I want to fulfill, so on and so forth.
