Karma. Yes it's real.
I’m religious, I believe in God and all of that… yada, yada, yada. I am however, a strong believer in karma; what goes around, comes around. If you reap it, be prepared to sow it. If you do something nice, you’ll receive kindness in return. If you’re a complete and utter cow, be prepared to be trampled on by a herd of cows. I’ll take it you’re with me so far?

Two Worlds.
The window closed with silent shatter,
My curtains close with a noisy breeze.
The thoughts, my brain is endless chatter.
Life outside but still at ease.
I think, I long I know not how
To confess my happiness I avow.
The silver brush which combs my hair
Cannot eliminate the fears I bear.
I live one life but in two worlds.
The same person both the same.
To float across fields of...

“No story lives unless someone wants to listen… The stories we love best...”

This was at the end of Harry Potter Greatest Moments. It’s fair to say I cried.

500th Post - A Milestone.
Since I started my blog back in December last year, I never thought I’d still love it this much eight months later. The thing that keeps me motivated is the fact I have people who read what I write. It’s important to any writer to have their work recognised, and just when someone says “oh I saw that on your blog” or, I get messages saying they’ve re-blogged and liked...

Yesterday's Stress.
Having not written an update on what’s going off around here, I thought I’d let you all know. Yesterday I officially moved out of my flat. It seems to be true; moving out is one of the most stressful things you will ever do. Me being me, I thought it’d take about an hour, maybe 1hr 30min, but no. It took 3hr 30min. I thought I’d brought most of my stuff home when I finished...

Stereotyping. Can we honestly help it?
I’m not one to judge, I’ve spent the majority of my childhood being judged and people jumping to conclusions - I know how it feels. Yet, there are those times when I just can’t help myself. Do I feel bad for doing it? Of course I do. Young guys who wear hoodies often equate to thieves, girls who wear Louboutin’s have it all and journalists are untrustworthy. All of these...

Best part of the whole movie.

“Of course it’s all in your head… but why should that mean it’s not real?”
– - Albus Dumbledore (Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2)
My favourite quote of the entire film. It erases the line between fantasy and reality.

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2:...
Earlier this morning thousands of muggles, witches and wizards alike gathered all over the UK for the final instalment of the Harry Potter series. For you reading this and a similar age to me, it signifies our childhood - a boy who we have grown up with.
As the subdued lightening cast itself across the anticipating spectators, it was at that moment it hits you that this really is the end for a...

A Very Special Day in The Wizarding World.
“I solemnly swear that I am up to no good…”
After months of waiting tonight is the night that Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 2 hits the cinema screens. I’m not alone when I say I’ve grown up with this story. I remember starting my first year at senior school as Harry started his first year at Hogwarts.
I’ve followed each and every character with...

Never fails to make me smile.

A Royal Outing - Matlock Take 2.
Yesterday really was absolutely fabulous. I said it in my last post and I’ll say it right here; if you want to go to a place surrounded by character then visit Matlock. It’s a beautiful, quaint little village just over an hour on the train from Nottingham, a bonus if you have a rail card as it’ll cost you only £5 return.
First thing on our agenda when we arrived was lunch. Having missed our...

A Royal Outing.
I say royal but you know that can only mean one thing - I’m with My Queen. Unfortunately, I am only joined by one Queen today which is sad, it won’t be the same without the lovely QofF.
Now to answer the ultimate question where are we off? Matlock! It’s a quaint little village just near Derby and if you love the country then you’ll adore this place. For someone who is used to city life, the...

Always go with your heart.
There are times when we have high expectations. Sometimes, we prepare ourselves the unexpected, and other times we get it completely wrong. I guess you could say my expectations of something in particular were not only wrong, but highly disappointing. It’s certainly reiterated the fact that things in life aren’t always smooth sailing and not everyone is nice. Or even knows how to be...
