How often do you cower away from people, or run away from your problems just because your scared? For me, its all the time. I always find myself backing off, hiding behind my friends and family just because I don't want to face the problem that was right in front of me. I'm only 14 years of age, and very inexperienced when it comes to life decisions and life crisis, but lately I've been trying to remind myself, 'This is MY Life.'

It's always important to remind yourself that, that no one can ever take you away from yourself. It doesn't matter who you are, or what you are, as long as you are you, nobody, and I mean nobody, can tell you it's not your life. No one can control you, tell you what to do, or even scare you. Even I must admit, sometimes I forget that, and I do get scared, but we all do. This is our life and you don't need anyone else's approval, permission or guidance. (In some cases you do however.)

When I say this, I don't mean to rebel against your parents, teachers or partners, and I am not saying not to listen or take advice from anyone else, I'm simply trying to state that you should base your decisions on your own motives, and not anyone else's.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that you're your own person. You live in your own skin, and you do your own thing. 

"This is Your life. This is Our Lives. This is MY life."

Until Next Time,

- Stay Lovely, Vanessa.

Welcome, everybody!

I would like to introduce this blog page to you, in high hopes that there will be no judgement passed through on what I post or say. I would also like to introduce myself to you, but obviously not sharing to much personal information about myself; such as my address and my telephone number. Anyway, I am Vanessa Alexander, a fourteen year old girl, who lives in Victoria, Australia (see, very vague) and who adores turtles, hedgehogs and clouds.

This whole blog is a brand new adventure, one that I didn't think that I would be serious in doing, but I've decided that hey, what else could I be doing right now? I like to think that no one will see this, and it will be just a private page, where I can post clothes I've been loving, books I've been enjoying and even places I love going to. I'm not sure how often I will post, hopefully weekly, and I don't even know what I will be posting.

I'm not the best writer out there, but I'm giving this a go, and even if nobody does end up reading this, I'm glad that one day I'll be able to make a memory book and label a page, with bold letters reading 'BLOG FAIL' with this post right here at the very top.

I'm rambling on now, and cannot wait to actually post something, with pictures and subtexts.

Until Next Time,

-Stay Lovely, Vanessa.
