I consider me and my boyfriend to be near complete opposites; him being as extroverted as I am introverted, as noisy as I am quiet, as fun as I am boring, as uninterested in reading and writing as I am interested, as free-spirited as I am uptight – a bunch of things.… (read more)
I’m sure most of you girls have certain expectations for your ‘dream guy’. Whether consciously or not, it’s hard not to make those little checklists in your mind. I would know. I’m not going to lie to you in saying that I’ve never been guilty of the same thing. I was close-minded back then, telling myself to follow those guidelines the best I could because, back then, I thought that a man that wasn’t like that just wasn’t worth it.… (read more)
Everyone has the right to love and hate, but one thing I don’t understand is why some people tend to go against what’s “in” just for the sake of it.

I’m sick of the color blue. I’m sick of people comparing Twilight with Harry Potter. I’m sick of hearing Justin Bieber songs. I’m sick of teachers who don’t teach. I’m sick of people who think they’re better than everyone. I’m sick of a lot of things, but there’s one thing in particular that has just been so irritating to me – people telling me that high school relationships don’t last.… (read more)
In this day and age – with all the music videos, photoshoots and T.V. exposure – to be a musician, you need to have much more than an amazing voice; you need to have the looks too. Because of this, appearance ends up being given more importance than it should, and talent becomes less of a priority.… (read more)
