"Why do we do things?"

YOU HAVE A MUCH BETTER LIFE, IF YOU WEAR IMPRESSIVE CLOTHES

I made this blog, because I wanted something to keep, so that when I am older I could look back and see all the things that I wrote and remember why I wrote them. I am hoping to write about my progress for my textiles GCSE, because I think it might interest you, and I can post pictures and information about making my dress. I am doing a punk styled dress, which is for a music festival. I am fascinated by Vivienne Westwood and Lady Gaga's fashion style, and how unique they are, and don't care about what people think about them. They use fashion to show their personality and i think that deserves some respect. I will keep you updated and I hope you enjoy reading about my progress, Thank youu! Hannah xx

“If you are different from the rest of the flock, they bite you”

SOMETIMES I PRETEND TO BE NORMAL, BUT IT GETS BORING, SO I GO BACK TO BEING ME.

What is normal?

Apparently it is, to act in a common manner; not abnormal or peculiar. To be honest, I've never met such a person that has these particular requirements?! It annoys when people say that you are weird, strange or a bit peculiar, because everyone can be themselves, and generally them self is normal for them. I don't see how we can define normal, as it is different for each person on earth, some might say normal is... getting all their money off daddy and eating in Michelin starred restaurants every night, but for others it might simply be...working their socks off and partying with their friends. In my opinion I don't like normal people, purely because they don't exist. After all, I'm not weird, I'm limited edition.

"If exams were a person, I'd slap them"

I WISH EXAMS CAME WITH A "50/50" AND PHONE A FRIEND OPTION

There are some things that I have never quite understood, Why does toast always fall butter side down?, why do cats have 9 lives?, why do we sleep at night? But the one thing that truly and utterly do not get, is why are we tested so early on in life? I'm 15 years old and I've already taken exams that will depend upon the next 60+ years of my life?? Crazy, huh! I've never ever understood that, because to be honest I'm still a child, so why can't I act like one? Until a few months ago, I don't think I understood the true meaning of how important GCSE's are? And if I could go back and start the course again I would. I want to do well and succeed but, it's difficult being a kid. Teenagers are the most understood people on earth, we are expected to act like adults, but then treated like kids.

"I don't fit into any stereotypes. And I like myself that way.”

IF YOU CARE ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE THINK, YOU'LL ALWAYS BE THEIR PRISONER.

We can all deny the fact we don't care what people think about us, and bottle it away and hide all of our emotions. But truth is we do care. It's only human to be bothered about other people's opinions on us, I personally constantly feel like I am being judged, and I'm probably right, because everyone judges a person, whether it be for the clothes they wear or the music they listen to. I judge people and I'm not going to deny that, I wish I could stop myself from doing it and just have an open-mind about everyone, but it's difficult; the future is always open, and tomorrow is always ready for something new.

IF I'M NOT MYSELF, THEN WHO AM I?

I hold my hands up and say if you honestly don't care what people think about you, I totally respect you. I wish I could get up on a dance floor and dance the night away, not giving a second thought to those looking at me, it's my one dream. I long to think that I don't give damn what people think about me, but I know that I do. In the end we are who we are; no matter how affected we are by people's opinions, they will never change us as a person.

What goes around comes back around. And after all I still don't understand why I judge people I don't know, for reasons I don't understand, but hey, I'm only human. Please don't hate me.
