Recently, I've been feeling really down. Y'know, with my High School Certificate coming up in October this year, I've felt that I had no real direction. Today, at my homeschooling department, we had an Amnesty/Harmony Day where we spoke about human rights, and designed cards and paintings to send to the children at the Christmas Island Detention Centre - I even taught the younger kids how to make origami traditional swans and read out a true story of a young African girl who now lives in Australia. And that's when I realised - there are kids out there who have never been educated, and whose parents were killed or arrested for believing in something. I mean, what have I got to worry about? I've lived in Australia my whole life; been educated by absolutely amazing teachers, and, been given a life these people could only dream of.
I've not only been given the chance to study, but, I've participated in so many extra-curricular activities, which is where my passion for acting developed.
These children have and will never experience that!
As a result, I've made a pact to stop worrying. It's not only hurting me, but the people who have helped me the most - my family.
Yeah yeah, you're probably falling asleep reading this, or better yet, logged off my blog to read something else. But, I just thought this was the perfect way to let out all my negative feelings.
Tomorrow is a brand new day.
I am a brand new person.
And, hopefully you could let out all your negative feelings and thoughts, because, seriously, there is absolutely nothing to worry about.
Think about the present, not the future or the past.
Thanks Guys!

It's easy to forget how fortunate we are - sad but true - the thing is I have seen people with the trappings of money - I never thought I would call it trappings but they get lost in a materialistic world and forget the things that are really important!!!
