What is it about Summer? We have a build up, much like Christmas, and expect summer to be this fabulous thing. I know i would sit and imagine my summer; endless nights outdoors, BBQ's at sunset, sunbathing with a good book and of course that fabulous holiday you look forward to every year.
Now so far i have not spent one endless night outdoors, I've had one BBQ (a good one i might add), the whether has only been sunbathing material once and I'm still awaiting the fabulous holiday. So what is this warped image i have in my head of all smiles and friends?
I've come to believe that these images have come from the kind of American films/books like 'The Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants'. So i ask, does the American life include these fabulous summer images? Because i don't see pool parties, late night sleepovers and jumping into rivers of rope swings in England.
And because i am not living this 'dream' my subconscious mind tells me I'm wasting away my summer, and to be honest, the mind is probably right!
Have fun in the sun!

Contrasting Worlds?
Around 6 billion people on the planet. All made to someones certain specification - i believe.
Are some born to live in endless poverty? Are others here to roll around in their riches?
It baffles me how so many people are smiling right now; this very second, and how others are sat wondering if they'll ever feel what it's like to feel the intensity of such a small movement of an upside-down frown.
I've suffered from depression for probably a little over a year, maybe two?
To be honest i don't know. Because time for me feels like I'm living in some sort of Alice in Wonderland fairytale. Each day can take it's toll and seem to be a never-ending inconvenience. But when i look back it seems like time has gone nowhere. And i get the feeling that happy or sad time can have this affect on everyone.
Do we appreciate what we have? Or better still, are we able to appreciate what we have ?
When i look through my window at the contrast of the green leaves against the grey sky - i cannot help but to feel something is not quiet right.
