FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE QUOTES

I don't know about you, but I love Friedrich Nietzsche's quotes, and how they are so

artfully constructed with a series and sequence of words that can convey the most 

beautiful and powerful of emotions and meanings. 

Here are some of my favourites...

PEOPLE

When I found this the other day, I couldn't help but think how true it was.

It resonated with me so strongly, because it made me think of a couple of people

I've met this year, or people that I've grown really close too, who I would never had

thought I could click so well with, yet I do, and in some cases better than people I've

known for so much longer.

I've been lucky enough to meet some really wonderful people, people with whom

I can completely be myself around, people who never give me a reason to do anything

but smile, people who make me feel complete in some way, people who I truly hope

remain in my life for a long, long time to come.

These people are ones who I never saw coming, yet they just appeared, like

some greater force knew that they were exactly what I needed, the right kind of

people to surround myself with, and these people have given me hope in the world,

that some truly amazing people really do exist, and hoping to meet people like that 

isn't a foolish dream to have. It is real. They exist. You just have to find them.

Or wait for them to find you.

Another reason why I like this quote though, is because it isn't all the usual

'when you find someone like that you should never let them go', because I know

that in an ideal world, once you find these sorts of people you should never let

them out of your sight. But in the real world, it's not always that easy.

One person I've met this year, I know for almost certain that despite the

huge impact they've made on my life, we will go our separate ways in a few

months time. This person, one of those special people of whom you only 

meet but a few in your lifetime, will slip through my fingers, and even though 

finding someone like them has been a dream come true, we aren't close enough 

or confident enough to keep our relationship going. 

It's just something that existed in this moment in time, and it was special, and

beautiful while it lasted, and even though I wish I could take them with me through the

rest of my life, I just don't think it's meant to be. So I guess all you can do is just

appreciate what you had, what little you have left to come, and just be grateful. 

And as for those who you meet and you know will be sticking around, 

try to hold on to them for as long as you possibly can.

WOAH, WHAT A ROLLERCOASTER OF A LIFE

Dear reader, 

I feel as though these last few days I have been

losing the plot.

As you may remember, I am 17 years old and as I live in

Grand Old Britannia, I have reached the point

in my life in which I have to decide just what the heck I'm going to do for the next fifty years.

It's kind of daunting to say the least.

And being someone of a highly indecisive nature,

and being someone who doesn't want to put myself out there

until I am absolutely 100% sure, the thought of

committing myself to one thing, especially

when I love so many things,

scares the crap out of me, as in,

proper heeby jeebies.

___________________________________________

And and and, to top it all off,

I am a Gemini, and Gemini's are notorious for liking

a bit of both. The curse of being born

under this star sign means that I simply cannot make up

my mind, and the thought of choosing just one thing

is double plus bad, as George Orwell's 1984 would say.

I love art, music, photography et al.

I'm a creative freak, I adore it all and have done

since I was three and began drawing kind of well for a three

year old, according to my mum.

BUT, I love science, biology, how everything works,

 I love helping people and feeling like I'm doing something positive.

I'm too caring, I get too involved, I want to feel like

I'm making a difference for someone, somewhere.

And of course I want to travel, live in

NYC, California, Sydney, Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon,

Berlin, and yet I strangely find the city

of Sheffield, 45 mins up the road so appealing.

It's all very confusing.

And when time isn't on your side,

it's very daunting.

I believe you only get one chance at life,

so you best do something good with it, live out your dreams,

because there won't be a next time.

It's about doing it all and having no regrets when

you pop your clogs sixty, seventy

years down the line.

You need to skid into heaven like

'woah, what a rollercoaster of a fabulous life that was'

But the problem is just how do you go about it?

If you're anything like me, you have this

ever expanding list of places to go and things to do.

But, you also want to be satisfied, happy,

want to get out of bed every morning and want to live your life.

You want a reason, a purpose,

to feel like you were meant to be here for a reason.

It's just finding that reason.

This week I've been darting from a career

in speech & language therapy, to broadcast journalism,

journalism in general and graphic design, and

back to speech & language therapy all over again.

But I think I'm starting to figure it all out,

just a little bit more now.

And although I wouldn't consider myself in the

best position to offer advice,

what I will say, is DON'T WORRY.

It doesn't help you in any way.

Don't let yourself fall into the hands of

self doubt, depression, hopelessness, 

it's a horrible place to be.

Talk to someone, moan like I've been doing for

the last three days straight.

Think about what you like to do, what you're good at,

what brings you the most pleasure and

satisfaction, what ticks the boxes,

and if it doesn't tick them all, what else can you do

to get them all ticked, what other opportunities

are there.
