time's a changing.

I loathe the expression 'you've changed'. If anybody ever says that to me, I feel the need to reply with 'no shit, Sherlock'. Change is a necessary and welcome fact of life. Without change, quite simply, the human race would cease to exist. No change equals no evolution, and no evolution means no disposable thumbs. Kapish?

We all change, you'd be lying if you said you were the same person you were 10 years ago. Hey, you'd probably still be lying if you believed you were the same person you were one year ago. And if you are? Well, you're probably stuck in a rut. And if you are stuck - good luck to you I say.

Speaking personally, I know for a fact I'm not the same person I was two, three years ago. My values and attitudes have changed and I no longer feel the fresh eighteen year old without a care in the world that I once was. Bordering on 21, I realised it's time for me to get serious. Now, that being said I'm still in my twenties and I don't want to grow up before my time but what better time than the present to start making my mark on this planet?

Don't view change as a road block, embrace change - you never know what it might bring.

Read it and weep.

This little gem is called Just Be magazine and is where I'll find myself interning every Friday for the next three months. An Australian made mag put together by some very talented, young ladies, Just Be offers the latest on trends, fashion, fragrance, beauty and lifestyle and I am feeling very lucky to be spending some time at the JB HQ. Have a flick through the mag next time you're at the newsagents, trust me or check the website out at justbemagazine.com - Just do it.

Isn't it funny how one single person can open your eyes to endless possiblities and new experiences, new people and new places you never for a second thought existed. Now, I'm not one to draw unnecessary attention to my private life but for the sake of credit where credit's due, I feel the need to draw attention to one particular person who has taken centre stage in my life for the past eight months. My boyfriend, someone who I didn't know from a bar of soap has become my best friend. It sounds cliche when I put it like that but there's no other way to say it. He's introduced me to new music, new places and his family has fast become mine. We challenge each other every day and often disagree but in spite of all our differences, we're crazy about each other. Isn't it great when you find someone and you just 'click'? You're able to be your complete and utter self around them and find acceptance despite your flaws.

Albeit, relationships and love aren't for everyone (hell, I included myself in that catergory eight months ago) but once you crack the jackpot you really do feel like a winner.
