I want I want.

I want. 
A phrase that when immediately heard I think of a spoilt little 7 or 8 year old girl telling her mummy and daddy that she wants this and that.
But the topic I am using I want for today, isn't the same, I guess you could say there is a spoilt element to it, about what I want. 
I however do not believe it is something I cannot have.. 

I want to be the reason someone cant sleep because there so excited about seeing me the next day. I want to be the background on someones phone. I want someone to go home to there friends and say this is her. I want to be the reason they wake up smiling. I want to be the reason they make an effort for dinner or lunch. I want to be the person that makes them feel comfortable enough to chill out in sweats with there hair up and no makeup. I want to be the person they can laugh and snort in front of. I want to be the reason for that smile on there face. I want to be the spoon that they cuddle up to or be cuddled by. I want to be the reason that every time they smell that smell they get butterflies. I want to be the person that they say I love you, too. I want to be the reason for the butterflies. I want to be the reason for them having no free text or calls left. I want to be the person they call first when they cry. I want to be the person holding there hand at friend or families funeral. I want to be the owner of the jumper or top they cant stop wearing. I want to be the reason they look at the stars and the moon and then realise I'm right there with them. I want to be the reason thy write a love letter. I want to be the person they cant go a single day without talking to. 

I want to be the reason they say I do. 

Today I thought a lot about marriage about finding the one and settling down. I don't mean now, I couldn't say I was ready for that, because I'm most certainly am not. Its just weird. My life partner, my soulmate is out there, hell I could of met them already, I could be friends with them. The person I am going to marry is living there life and they are smiling or crying. Regardless of that though they are a living breathing person, going through life. 

Sometimes I forget how amazing people and the world is.

What is your opinion on love?

I sometimes feel like such a "hippy" when I think or talk about love. 
Love is everywhere, between your friends and family. That special someone you've been together with since you were 8 or that guy/girl that sits in front of you in class. 
Either way, its there. It may not be the same love you give to your mum or your partner, but its there.

I tend to ask the question a lot, what is your opinion on love. 
When I'm sat with people it turns into a lovely debate/talk about what others think love is about, or what it involves, or sometimes even what they've experienced. 
All in all though, everyone has something that they always go back to, they've all experienced love.
Before writing this piece I knew I wanted to get some opinions from others on what love is for them and I did.  The great thing about asking this, was at first some hesitated.. one even put "Cor Blimey." It's something hard to write about, but saying that everyone has an opinion on it. 
The question I asked is the title. 
'What is your opinion on Love?' 

Katy - 
The ability to be the best thing in the world. But also the ability to be the worst thing in the world. At the moment most important to me is the love i have for my friends and my family. I was actually just talking to a friend earlier who said she hardly ever tells her mum she loves her because she doesnt want it to be a throw away phrase, but i tell my mum i love her multiple times a day, on the phone or like today when she came back for her lunch break from work and left again. And just because i say it alot, in no way is it ever a throw away comment. Love is what we all strive for.

Anonymous Guy - 
Love is this word that seems to get tossed around so easily, 'I would love a cup of tea', 'I love that film'
But the feeling of love goes much deeper than that. As someone who is described as logical, sarcastic and guarded, I have done some of the most illogically things and soppy things due to being in a state of love. It is mind altering. But not to be confused with infatuation which people seem to misinterpret for love easily. From my experience it has made me willing to do or suggest things to do with another, not for my own enjoyment, but simply because it will make the other person happy. When I reflect it has led to some of my most selfless actions. But I have witness it truly bring out the worst side in people, all in the name of love.

Hannah - 
Love is amazing. Love is something that consumes us. Becomes our every thing. We love constantly. We can find it anywhere. 
Love is dangerous though. It's a risky game to play. It is what can make you or break you. Yet with every love that seems to break you, those around you who love you will build you up again. Love is always there, even in our darkest days

Anonymous Girl - 
I feel like I'm in two halves about love. I was the one in english class who defended Romeo and Juliet's love, when everyone else was calling them reckless and rash. Not to mention being a Disney fanatic, and I need not to elaborate on the ideals of love that presents. However, I would definitely not fall into the category of being a 'lovey dovey' person. 'Promposals' are the latest on a long list of growing phenomena that make me want to vom. Also appearing on the list are Facebook relationship statuses, cringeworthy gushing paragraphs (we all know some offenders there) and people who talk so intensely about being 'being love'. I guess it could be said that I'm just 'jealous', which leads into the other side of my feelings about love, the side that probably is an influence on my averse reaction to soppiness. I believe that love does exist, but worry that it won't end up finding me. This is silly, paranoid, blah blah blah, but I do hesitate to say 'there's someone for everyone', because, sadly, sometimes there's not, and I cannot shake the fear that I will be one of those people. Having said this, I already know I'm wrong. Love has already visited my life, in the form of my friends, who, as I discussed with one of my closest girls recently, can be your true soul mates, as opposed to a partner.

Rachel - 
I think there are different types of love, the love you feel for a relative or friend (or food;) ) is different from love you'd feel from a partner. In my opinion when someone falls in love - properly- they fall in love with that persons soul. That person suddenly turns into the most beautiful & desirable person in the world to them, even if they're not their regular 'type' - or gender.
Sophie -
I think its stupid that people think they can even describe love, everyone feels it differently, its a different emotion for everyone. although saying that i agree we all share it. I immediately thought of love for a sexual partner rather that love for a family or relative as they are completely different. You know you love someone when you start to love them more than yourself, I don't mean egotistical or in vanity, I mean in a life or death situation where you would put yourself first if they were to come in harms way. There is no specific description of love because there is no same love. No two love is the same, you don't feel the same sort of hatred or the same sort of jealousy as anyone else in this world. People make out love is really rare, but I don't think it is, if you have an open mind then it will come. Love is more than what you can put into a poetic sentence. love is simple love just is.

Ali - 
Love to me is like a virus that utterly consumes you and breaks your barriers and walls down and leaves you naked and vulnerable to someone. It is an ultimate game of trust where you leave your self totally at the mercy of someone else. Should they feel the same about you, you go on to build something. Should they break your heart you again build barriers and walls until someone else comes along. Being hurt and broken by loving someone in itself gives value to love when you find that one special person. It is a drug worth taking regardless of how bad the hangover is.

Tiffany - 
I'm not sure if my take on love is something that you haven't already read or heard, but its the way I choose to look at love, like truly look at it. If I have ever spoken to you about love, disregard it, because right now is my honest opinion. I like to sit and listen on what people feel love is about or there opinion is on it, I am someone that is very open to my opinion being changed about love, so I'm very easily swayed with what people say about it. 
But for me. 
I cant even sit here and explain love, because sometimes I just feel stupid, I'm only 19 and here I am trying to put my take on it, when sometimes I don't even know what love is. Yet on the other hand, I think love can be the most uplifting emotion you have, it takes me to a new extreme. It can either be over explained with lots of fancy words. Sometimes love isn't explainable, its just there. A raw emotion that we feel. Yes that feeling maybe little and small or large and mighty, but it lives inside of our souls. I have felt love, and I have felt heartbreak and I often put those two together. I in fact too often mix them and I even say love for me is shit.. but I know Its not. Love is taught throughout school and life as something we have to share with everyone and we get this perfect idea of what love is. I hate that idea of perfect love, there is no perfect love. There is just emotion which happens to be love. 


Now for me this was probably one of the most eye opening pieces I have written, well kind of, I hardly did anything, other than just read what everyone had put. It was a lot to take in, everyone I asked was of an age between 19-23, bar one person who is in there late 20's. Now I think maybe If I were to do this again but only ask people say about 30 or 40, then the outcome might be either very different or fractionally different. It would be interesting to see the results.

I just wanted to do this piece to show everyone, that love is different for everyone. I know we all know that but I think we forget. Love I think is something we should say more to each other, I don't see enough love around anymore. 
(P.s thank you to everyone who gave me there opinion it was massively appreciated!! You are some great people to me.)

I don't want it back.

You know when someone gives you something back of yours and you just don't want it back. 
Either its in bad condition so you're like no way!! 
In that rare case though you actually just want them to have it. 

I have a returned item that I don't want. 
Something in me, that I want someone else to have. 
People are looking for the item that was returned but I don't want to give it to anyone. 
Just you. 

Now readers either you're smart and you've figured out what I'm talking about. 
Or you haven't really thought about it and you're wondering. 
Well.. if you read my previous post form the other day 'Come and Go,' then you would know I had my heart returned. 

But theres this sticky situation, I don't want it. The only reason for me to have it back would be to give it to someone else, but I definitely don't want that. Now its that weird thing, my heart was returned by I don't have it still. No matter how many times she could bring it back to me, it will firmly be with her. 

I cant seem to get over this girl, and normally that would infuriate me, but I'm just seeing what its like. Ive never had this sort of break up and it feels weird, but its actually refreshing coming out of it, without wanting to harm them. 

I still love her madly and I would jump at the chance to be with her again, I cant help it. I always thought it would be weak of a person to still wait around or have something for someone after they'd broken up still, but now. Now I realise why. 

I guess its not fully sinking in to my head because theres a part of me that hopes that she still sees me as more as a friend. Even that 5% keeps the fire lit. She have to physically see me and tell me to leaver her alone, for me to ever listen and leave her alone. 

I still want to fight for her as I have so much left in me, but I won't because it isn't the right time. 

Theres only so much holding on a person can do. 
Either way I can do more.

The Start of something..

New things in this world is amazing. Whether that be a new born baby, an animal or even a new job. It's a phenomenal feeling, of pride and accomplishment. 

So when something/someone new comes into your life how do you celebrate that with out shouting it from the rooftops. 

Or do you just shout it from the rooftops. 

Now, you're probably wondering what an earth is new in my life.. Well readers there is something I need to tell you.
As some of you may know due to my posts on here, or if you're actually a close friend of mine that follows what I do, then you would fully know I am singer through to my bones. I live, eat and sleep music. It fuels me in everything I do. 

So when I get exciting opportunities I want to shout them from the rooftops confessing my love for what I being able to do. 

I recently got contacted by a very lovely DJ from London who has his own dance tracks and plays in some amazing clubs round the country. Now at first when he contacted me I just genuinely got excited, people telling me they like my music can make me happy, give me high for about three weeks!
Anyway, when he contacted me it was different this time, he wasn't just here to say he liked my music but also to be a part of his music. 
I felt like screaming, that this dude, who doesn't know me, wants me to write lyrics and sing them on his track. 

It finally made it all sink in that maybe one day someone will actually pay for a CD of mine, maybe one day someone will actually come up to me in the street and say 'OMG your Tiffany the singer right' I don't have to be famous, hell I don't gotta be rich, but someone recognising you for singing, and being truly inspired by your work. 

Now that is what I want.

Stay.

Stay - The name of a song from 2013 from Rihanna. 
Stay - Something you say to someone when you want them to hang around a bit longer.
Stay - Something your family and closest friends do throughout your life.

Our journey throughout life is short, we are tiny millisecond in the earths life.
- Yet so many people seem to think the word revolves around them. -

Anyway, we meet people throughout our life that come and go, but then we also meet these people that stay. Our family, obviously for most we meet our family when were first born, for some though they don't meet for a good 15/20 years into there life.

Family have an obligation, they kind of have to stick around, now saying that I understand just like some, that sometimes families do not get on, making it next to impossible to have two people in the same room. You can't choose your family.

My family I don't doubt for a second will ever leave me. I have a close connection with my parents and my siblings and its something I truly cherish. There people I could call anytime of the day to cry and they'd listen, they have my back regardless of what I've done, there stood firmly by my side. 

My parents are supportive, like beyond what I see most parents doing. My mum and dad put there all into making sure I get the life that I want regardless of what it cost. They really push me to go for my goals and to really chase my dreams because no one else will do it for me. 

My siblings are amazing, there two people I truly just connect with. 

My sister is so like me its unreal, hey she's probably more witty than me and a hell of a lot faster with a sarcastic response, but were alike. They way we speak, our laughs and even sometimes they way we think!! I never really thought me and my sister look like a like, but apparently we do. 

My brother, I haven't known my whole life, I only met him when I was in my early teens, but that had nothing on my relationship with him, we also are so alike. growing up not in someones life meeting them and realising that your definitely supposed to have them on your side of the path throughout life. 

These four people I have in my life mean the world to me, I would go crazy if anyone hurt them. I cant do much but I'd fight until the end for these people, because they honestly my favourite. 

But, 

(now you're probably wondering why there is a but, when I write such nice things about my family why would there be a but) 

I have people in my life who aren't my family that I think will stay. There are some friends I have that I hope stay in my life, because there positive, there fun, and they make me smile. 
But there is one main one, now I didn't think I would change who I thought would be my best friend for life. I had a childhood friend who I thought I would be friends with until one of us died, although I think were always be friends, just not best friends. 

Now for me it changed, it changed when I knew I could ring this guy crying saying stuffs happened and he threatened to beat the ass of the person that did it, If I was stuck somewhere and had no money nothing, I could get a hold of him and he'd be there. 

This guy is truly someone in my life I never want to let go of, when you meet someone in your life that your soul mates with everyone assumes they mean soul mates who marry and are in love. I don't think that, I think sometimes you can meet your soulmate of a friend also. 

This guy that I'm writing about he is my soulmate friend. Through sickness and through health. I know he we always be around. 

These people in my life will all stay. 



Come and go.

Things in life they come and they go. 
People in life they come and they go. 

So how do you do stop that process, how do you continue to have someone in your life. Can you do anything to stop it? or is it just life that people will forever come and go.

For example, I talk to about a handful of people I went to secondary school with, that to me feels quite bizarre because I went through school without a care in the world. Thinking some of the friends that I made at school I would be friends with for at least another ten years!! 

I speak to a fair few more people I went to college with, a lot of them are still in my life and I try and stay in contact with them, not so much when I'm at uni as it is quite hard but when I come home I try and see everyone that I want too. 

Sometimes you can drift away from someone but then weirdly you come in connection again. I think that part is truly the amazing. 

How you can spend close to three years not really talking to someone then meet one day and suddenly its like nothing changed. 

I recently had something returned to me, my heart. Now I know that sounds a tad lame but its true, my heart was kindly given back to me. I don't begrudge this girl, and I far from hate her. Of course I still love her and I'd drop anything if she called me crying. 
The relationship didn't work, and I don't wanna go into too much, I know why it didn't work and I understand that. 

Me being me, I'm a bit of a hopeless romantic. Although a part of me used to think I was a realist I know I'm not. I'm hopelessly romantic from the big organs in my body to the tiny little standing strands of hair on my arms and neck.

So she really did make me into a better person, like I finally got things sorted, hell she inspired me and I like to hope I inspired her a little also. Today I did something I put off for years, okay I wasn't successful but I had to prove it to myself that I could do it. If it wasn't for her though, I don't think I would of initially said yes. 

I have a lot to thank her for, she has really opened my eyes, to see life in a different picture, hell I have been downright shit about the breakup but in myself I am happy. I'm no longer down. 

I haven't felt like this in a long time. 

So the outcome of this, is. She came into my life when I needed her most and she helped me, and now she's kind of gone, but I think/hope that she will be back in my life again soon, even if its not romantically/sexually.. because she's someone that everyone needs. I only hope that one day when she's in time of need I can return the favour.
I guess you can say there will forever be a special little fire in my heart for her, for helping me along my journey.
I dont do names in my posts.

But.
I will always thank you for all you ever done and will do.
Sophie.

My place.

I find this blog great for when I have a problem that
 I cant resolve, so I can write it down and then I 
don't think about it too much and
 it starts to become at ease within my head.

No more bad.

I was gonna write this depressing blog about when you lose something. 

But I've told myself to be happy and thats what I'm gonna do, I'm sick of that cloud I had hanging over my head. I don't want to be someone that is known for how negative they can be. 

From today forward no more of it. No more alcohol. No more crappy shitty food. No more bitching behind peoples backs. If I really make an effort with life and getting to know people, I will get the rewards from that. 

Today I started 100 happy days, which is said to boost your mood. Weirdly I am massively excited about the thought of every single day taking a photo of something that makes me happy!! 

It's all about thinking and eating positively, as soon as you do that you begin to become positive. 

I have one person to thank for this, she lectured me about my depressing moods. Frankly its one of the best talks I've had, because it really sunk in.

Such a sop.

When I talk about my girlfriend I have to refrain from saying how I really feel for her, for fear that I may be called soft or look like a massive loved up sop. Today I am going to write, it will most likely be feel of similes and metaphors as I love writing with them, but yeah, it will show you all how I see and feel about my girlfriend. 

Hearing laugh is out of this world, and seeing her laugh is even better, her eyes completely light up and she just oozes this sense of ease and comfortableness. When she laughs I can never work out whether I am finding it sexy or cute but it just makes me smile. Especially when she finds something really funny, she has this different laugh that you don't hear unless its down right hilarious!! When she bites her lip it sends a ball of fire through my body, because her teeth coming on showing is amazing, they remind me of the glow in the dark stars you used to stick to your ceiling. When she just smiles that too is also amazing, it makes her dimples jump on to her face and show everyone that she's happy. It makes her look so much taller when she has a smile on her face, and it makes me fall completely in love with her. Her hair perfectly crafts her face no matter the colour it always suits her and whether its up or down, it will always look so nice.  Her voice just soothes my soul and wraps round every bone in my body stopping me from shaking uncontrollably. Even when she cries she has such elegance and its beautiful to watch, to understand her and know her is getting better each day and night. I have never met someone so caring for others she doesn't even talk to, constantly defending the weaker, never letting anyone to be bullied or shamed. She is constantly looking out for people, it doesn't bother her, it isn't a chore. She is just naturally a leader who won't be led astray by anyone. She has such strength and I don't mean just physically. She has got so much love in her. That I am so happy and glad to be receiving, from such a magnificent creature. 

I'm gonna stop before I get too carried away aha. 

Broadened by her.

They say you learn something new about yourself with every partner you're with. 
I guess with each partner you're with you find that you become stronger and stronger, you get over the heart breaks and over the disagreements you have. You know you no longer care in a relationship when you feel numb to everything they do. 
You can care about what someone does, but trust them enough not to do it. I am also a firm believer in trust is earnt so you can start a relationship with a new slate, and the trust gets bigger with the more you feel comfortable and the more they show you how comfortable there getting. Sometimes things happen and you think damn I don't trust them but then you realise you do. 

I learnt a lot from a few of my most previous relationships. A lot about myself but also a lot about different people circumstances I saw more when I was in relationships. 
I can sit here and say though, that my current relationship has made me realise things about myself, that I didn't think to be true, or i disregarded and ignored. I've really opened up to myself and slowly I'm opening up to her. 

She has made me really open my eyes and realise what is in front of me. I am so lucky with how I live in a world like today. I'm reasonably healthy, but in all I'm more healthy than not. I am 19 and already in my second year of university, I live in one of the most popular cities in the world. I have the biggest support system behind me, starting with my family!! I have friends, although sometimes I feel alone she has made me realise just how many I have got. Most of all though through her showing me how much I have got from other people it made me realise that her, she was a massive part of my life now. She has fully got my back, that sounds weird, saying yeah my gf has my back. Well of course she would thats kind of what she's there for. My gf really out does her self sometimes, and I can never full believe such a genuinely lovely girl like her can be with such a relationship klutz like me. 

I am lucky, so luck to have her. She's shown me so much in the way I feel about things, she has definitely also changed my opinion on certain things and I know look at life as a larger picture. 
I hope that I have done the same for her and have shown her things. 

I just wanna say thank you to my girlfriend for being truly fucking amazing. 

I love you.

me.

Why pick me when you can have anyone you want. 

Are you scared to lose me?

Does it scare you to think about losing her? 
Does it hurt to think of her with someone else? 
Have you ever thought about what it would be like to see her kissing another girl or guy? 
Does the thought of her calling another girl or guy baby destroy you? 
The thought of her cuddling and spooning someone else hurt your gut? 
Knowing she's having sex with someone else literally make you want to die?
That someone is getting her attention and your not? 

Do you ever just think about things like this, you see that person you are fully wrapped up in with someone else. They could be doing nothing but smiling, talking, laughing but knowing that it isn't you she does that with anymore, man its a horrid thought. Sometimes I sit and wonder if she ever has feelings like this about me, like does she sometimes think about maybe what the future holds for us, will she ever see me with another person and will it hurt her as much as it would hurt me. In my last relationship sometimes I felt I gave too much and I think we had a mutual agreement that we both loved each other equally. I do genuinely feel like the one in this relationship that loves more. 

This girl, who name I don't even need to mention if you know me, but yes this girl I am completely infatuated with she seems to just be there for all the time. I guess you could say emotional I've a train wreck recently and she's been here through it all. I want to say thank you and I did. 

But tonight something happened 'That someone is getting her attention and your not?' This was it, this is what happened, I watched her for about 15-20 minutes laugh and joke and smile around with some random guy giving him her attention and no one was gonna stop her. She has said sorry, and I have to forgive her, after all in technicality she did nothing wrong. I'm not going to sit here and lie but it hurt, it hurt to watch the girl you are completely in love with give her attention and time to some fucking guy that meant nothing. I sound pathetic, but sometimes I guess you put yourself out there to get hurt, and tonight was one of those nights. I don't think she will understand how tonight made me feel, but you can get a hint it was low. 

The worst part is this guy that meant nothing, that she only wanted drinks off, she gave him her number and he gave her his. I think thats what stung most, why would you give out your number to some guy you think is "ugly and disgusting, with a massive scar down his face." The worst is he rang her three times after that when we were at mine, clearly wondering where she had gone. How do I make her see that I won't be taken for a fool. I don't wanna be that person to be running out of the club nearly in tears. I don't wanna be that person again, I've done that before and yeah it hardened me up made me a tad wiser but it hurt like fuck in the meantime. I know she isn't like "her" so I need to stop putting them in a similar category but how I can I not when so much of what she does is much like "her." 

Im scared of losing her so I guess I'm a little funny about things. 
The only things going through my mind at the moment is does she feel the same for me. 
Is she as scared about losing me as I am her. 
Tonight I had never felt so alone even though she was laid up right next to me. 

Spiral Fucking Staircase.

What do you do when you can feel yourself tumbling down a staircase that seems to be never ending. It would be grab a hold of the bars and pull yourself up right, but if your hands were wet it would be pretty fucking impossible right. 
Well at the moment thats life for me. The worst thing though normally I see people saying tiff were here come on get yourself out of this dark place were a trusting friend lean on us and in sense were dry your hands so you can grab those bars and walk back up those stairs. 
This whole drying hands thing is weird, but its a metaphor that I've very much gotten used to. I am a very sensitive person, and things do affect me a little too much maybe. 


Who am I nowadays, I don't recognise myself in the mirror anymore, I just want to be me again. 

I just want to smile and be happy at least for a whole day.

Jail of judgement.

Fat - Ugly - Boring - Uninteresting

Bitch - Slut - Tramp - Whore

Cunt - Prick - Twat - Knob

Arsehole - Queer - Dyke - Faggot 

Disgusting - Fake - Stupid - Shit

'You're a training actor, you must hear things like that all the time' - Anon

Do you think just because we put ourselves out there for the world to see that its fair to be scrutinised because we are showing people what we do, something that they enjoying sitting and watching. 
Just because I'm no Angelina Jolie or Jennifer Lawrence, what makes me different from them, you idolise them and treat them with respect. Just because they have been acknowledged by the media that they are good. 
Okay I haven't got that gorgeous body, or amazing hair. Hell my teeth aren't sparkling white and my face will sometimes all too often show people that I have a double chin.
What gives someone the right to think they can abuse you because you're not there idea of perfect. Sorry that I don't perfectly fit in your criteria, but don't mind me being rude, I don't want to. 

Acting is for the I don't care kind of people. 

Because frankly I don't care what you think. You are not me and will never see life through my eyes and I will never through your eyes.

Am I easy to read..

I thought I was someone who at first was easy to read but then as time went on got harder to read. Which then made girls attracted to me because they couldn't read me. I like being an unreadable person, where people don't know what I'm thinking or feeling. Sometimes yeah I like being readable it makes times easier.

My girlfriend, seems to manage to read everything, even to the point when she turned round a couple of weeks ago and said the words 'I've missed you' which would sound normal if i didn't see her everyday, so i said 'but I'm here' and then said 'yeah but i mean you've not been you, you've been sad.' So we continued to talk about it for a little while, and she said she knew i was down but didn't want to be asking me all the time what was wrong, which for made me feel so weird. She know's when I'm going to cry and whenever I am in certain moods.

The only other person that can read me like this is my mother, who turnt to me and uttered the words you're gonna cry in a minute, how did she know that everything instead of me was tearing down and failing. I said no I'm fine, I'm not gonna cry and I didn't. I've put up a barrier to my mum, I didn't want her to see me down anymore, because it hurts her to see me down. I can't see her crumble, I need to be stronger and stop feeling so shit about anything, sometimes I'm too sensitive to what people do and say. 

Welcome to me.

Hello? I am Tiffany Patricia Robinson, I am nineteen years of age. I am gay (but don't want to label myself too much so I am still open to one day I might fall in love with a guy) and have a girlfriend who I love dearly. I currently attend University in London where I study a BA (Hons) Acting for Stage and Media. I constantly worry about the future instead of thinking about the here and now. I'm undecided if I am where I want to be in life. I try and surround myself with supportive and funny people, but sometimes I don't succeed, which can be hurtful and can rip a part of your spirit down. I would call myself a strong person, I think I've been through a lot to only be nineteen, but I also appreciate that sometimes my worries are nothing on someone's who has a life threading illness. I try and be positive about most things, and I like smiling. Some say I am easy to read and some say I'm impossible to read, I think if you know me well enough then everything I do is quite simple. I sometimes thrive for an easy life where everything will be handed to me, but then I understand I'd learn nothing from that.
Sometimes I can be quite absent, in my mind and body. I like to come home and just release all the anger and pity I feel and just start fresh. I like to go to Beachy Head and just scream at the top of my lungs. Just to release as much as it as I can. It makes me sound a little crazy, but if you've never done it, then go to an isolated field and just scream it will let something out sometimes that you've never realised you had.
I like to write music, but art never comes from happiness, so sometimes the anger and sadness that I feel I bottle to make something truthful in what I write. For example I recently wrote a piece called 'Woman Like You' which is about strong women. The reason for that are my role models.. Strong Women.
I like singing, singing is such a release for me also, and it had suddenly made me start to wonder that maybe I am on the wrong course, maybe I should be doing a music course, as that is most definitely something I want to be doing more than acting. But I don't want to grow a hate for it by doing all the time.

I'm paying too.

I am a university student and have been for over a year now. I enjoy uni, I like the life I am living, not completely but I wouldn't change it as its the right road for what I want to do.
I've studied drama, acting and singing for as long as I can remember. I have always had the biggest passion for it and loved it. So obviously I come to uni to further my knowledge for the arts see what I can learn from my lectures and directors. Take down notes, that will help me overcome my boundaries and weaknesses.

That's fair enough right, so when a teacher isn't in what should the do?
Get us cover right, find a teacher that isn't doing anything and get them to cover our class, so we actually learn. Okay okay were not at school we can do individual work, I don't mind doing that, going off for a couple of hours doing some research. Taking in something you didn't originally know.

Well, my university doesn't do that know instead I, myself gets asked to cover the lesson with another peer in my group.
What!?
So I'm paying £6,000 a year to teach my peers. no. I don't bloody think so, I am hear to learn just as much as them, I don't care if I can sing and have had training, because I did that in my spare time. I'm just as much annoyed about having no teacher as them, what am I going to get out of teaching my class. Okay i'm honoured you chose me, thats nice, you trust me clearly.. but theres no way in hell i'd like it if someone younger than me was telling how to do what.
