We're all made of Stardust...

talent."
But in the end, in't that what we all want?
To have people see us.
To have strangers in the street look at you and see something - a spark perhaps - that makes them want to know you.
To be inequivocably loved by those you love, for being You.
To be That Person at the party who just glitters in the crowd 'til everyone is drawn to your shine.
Most of all, I think what we want is to be able to look back once we've reached the end, and to think;

Roll Up, Roll Up ~
It doesn't matter what you're doing - house party, street party, night in, night out, friends or family - it's just a spectacular night. It's just made of glitter and fireworks and the plastic cups you always get at parties.
And so we welcomed 2011. It's only 16 days in, and already the year is taking shape in front of me. Just as well, because this year is the year of doing things. Things I said I'd do but didn't; things I'd never thought of doing before; things I made excuses not to do.
- Get piercings. At least 3.
- Redecorate my bedroom to suit Now-Me, rather than 14-year-old-Me
- Use all of the canvases I got for christmas - and be proud of the results.
- Not be afraid to get What I Want out of a relationship.
- Holiday with a brilliant friend. Even if it's still in Britain.
- Buy a pair of Bordello shoes, for no other reason than because they're beautiful.
[I'm serious about the shoes. Have you seen Bordello's heels?]
16 days, and it's taking definite shape.
That guy became My Guy.
I managed to convince my reclusive hermit-esque gang of misfits to Do Something, and it turned into a good night [Our waiter in Pizza Hut deserves a medal for his patience, sheer brilliance, and inability to be phased by 6 young women shamelessly flirting with him].
I impressed my Photography teacher with my Photography.
But of course, life is never all roses.
I also got let down by a friend. Let down in a big way.
Y'know, that one friend that you hope never lets you down? The one that, if they did let you down, it would just break your heart. But you love that friend, so you try to get past it - kind of like Couples Therapy, I suppose. Time apart, you suggest. A little space, to remind you both that you like having each other around.
So much so that you don't let each other down like that again.
But, C'est la vie! And c'est la 2011... thus far at least.
Well, what can you do - except take it a day at a time.
Love and beautiful shoes ~
