Thought on friendship

I have now finished my first year of university. It is a strange feeling knowing that in two years time I will be done with university and moving on with my life but it is also a good feeling knowing I've been through another year filled with experiences and new insight on life. One thing I knew before university but never really appreciated as much as now was the value of friendship. This year I've made friends that I want to make an effort to keep in touch with. I had fight with friends but sorted it out because it was more important to me than leaving it and just staying friends with the people I got along with and the most important thing, I've learnt who I can trust.
Being a friend is not just finding someone else funny and listening to them talking about interesting things, it is also about hearing someone complaining about the same thing over and over even though you give them advice what to do. It is accepting that this person might never take your advice but you will still be there for them when they get hurt because they don't.
Being a friend is being able to share things with someone that might make you seem weak or strange. Not being ashamed of who you are infront of that person and wanting to share experiences with that person. Some people don't express feelings that often but a friend won't stop caring because of that because you except him for who he is.
Sometimes it might not be easy to stay friends with someone when that person is going through a rough time but that is exactly what real friendship is; being there whenever you need to even though it might bore you or upset you.
This year has reminded me of who my real friends are and that we all need to make an effort to stay friends. It's not just thinking that some people will be there for you whenever you want them to be, you have to be there for them too.

This post is dedicated to my friends and I like to think that you know who you are. I am thankful for all you do for me and for being here for me. Even though you might not always say what you think I know you are there for me when I need it and that is something I'm grateful for.

    A valuable lesson you have learnt here Naomi. :) someone once said to me "Friends are the family you choose for yourself". Friendship is such a precious thing and when you manage to ride out the stormy times together it can make those friendships even stronger. I'm so glad you have such wonderful friends. :)

Dear my unborn child

For almost nine months I've been carrying you. When I learnt that I was going to become a mother I was excited, confused and scared at the same time. How would I be able to bring a child into this world where there is so much hatred, war and horrible things happening. Little did I know. I wasn't bringing this child into a world with all that. I'll be bringing you into a world where we are fighting a war against something this world hasn't experienced before. You will be born into a world where hundreds of people even thousands die on a daily basis because of a virus, something unstoppable that has created a world where people are afraid of walking side by side. Where someone coughs and everyone around him moves away. People can't leave their houses without the fear of getting ill. You will be born into a world where no one goes safe. I always dreamt about holding you in my arms for the first time. Your grandparents meeting you and my friends and family seeing you f...

The average but enjoyable Gatsby

I don't do film reviews, not because I don't like sharing my experience but because I usually don't have much to say about the films. However, after just finishing second year I feel more confident and I also actually have opinions about the Great Gatsby so I hereby introduce my first film review. I finished reading The Great Gatsby about 2 months ago and when I read it is was only for my own sake which meant that I probably didn't pay as much attention to the details as I would have done if it was for school as many people had too. However I think the film managed to stay quite accurate to the book. There were scenes in the film that probably could have been made shorter and some needed more explanations to make the audience understand what they actually contribute. I guess this is a problem with all film adaptations of books. It is impossible to get all the details in the book to fit into a film, especially when films nowadays very rarely are longer than 2 hours a...

Our lives exposed online

I am born in the generation where people don't know what lives were without colour TV, a computer in every home and internet. Some of us might remember when you couldn't be on the phone at the same time as you were online but to be honest, the only reason why I know about it is because my older siblings have told me about it. This has created a society for my generation where we communicate with people all around the world and often with people we don't even know. I know many of us like to think that we are friends with everyone on facebook but quite frankly, we don't. There are a lot of people we haven't talked to since primary school or people we just have on facebook because we enjoy stalking them. This creates a problem we often don't think about, what we put online is not just for us and our friends. It is for everyone we have on facebook and often other people. We also easily forget how the things we put online can be saved and spread by others and soon ...
