My Entire Childhood Has Been a Lie

*Inspired by SimplyBrea507 and Carrie Fletcher*

My favourite Disney princess had always been Anastasia, until the other day when the soul crushing reality set in and I found out that Anastasia (in all it's perfect glory) is, in fact, a 20th Century Fox movie, not Disney. It felt like my world was crumbling around me and there would forever be this unfulfillable void inside of me.
It was like my entire childhood had been a lie - I had been brought up on a godforsaken lie!
But I did find out that Anastasia is a real princess and Rasputin is a real bad guy and Bartok is not. Rasputin actually did try to kill Anastasia though -just without all the magic gobbilty goop (although I'm still unsure on the half dead status that was introduced in the movie.)
But she'll forever remain my favourite princess of all time, just not Disney princess. And Rasputin will always be my favourite villain.

This whole dilemma leaves a gargantuan hole in my heart that can only be filled with the beautiful voice and unrealistic hair of a Disney princess.

But who, may I enquire, is suitable for the role of my favourite Disney princess? And who is ready for the grand task of pursuing her prince at all costs?
Or perhaps my Disney princess will not even involve a prince..?

Merida from Brave is definitely on the call back list for My Favourite, but who else?
I always loved Jasmine from Aladdin. I grew up watching it and, I have to say, Aladdin is, in my opinion, the hottest Disney prince. That, and Jasmine has the best hair in Disney.
It's like Walt said "OK everyone, what'll make those vulnerable, influential children the most self conscious? And we'll put that in Jasmine."
Perfect hair, waist, clothes, skin, face, eyes, voice, life - just... perfection.
Merida on the other hand is basically from a Disney Chick Lit and I love her uniquity and  independence. Oh and that accent and hair! She's what it would be like if you combined Mulan (Who's also in the possible call back list) with Joan of Ark in a more suitable, magical, Scottish environment.
Albeit, Merida and Jasmine are so... opposite, yet it's a toss up between the two.

Is it wrong that they've both made it to the top two because of their hair...?

The Legendary Bystander - Poem by Everything and Anything

I know it was wrong
And I definitely should've stopped it
And I shouldn't have just sat there and watched.

I realize I'm no better than she
And I'm just as much to blame
And I shouldn't have just sat there and waited.

I remember your tear stained cheeks
And the scars on your wrists
And I shouldn't have just sat there and witnessed.

I forgot to tell adults
And the note I found in your book
And I shouldn't have just sat there and forgotten.

I caught on to your facade
And your planned escape from the world
And I shouldn't have just let you die...

Enjoy and think deeply upon young padawans, but please don't steal it or my ideas. It's rude, it's illegal and you've been warned.

Addiction is a Disease Without a Cure

Harry Potter, Danisnotonfire, Adventure Time - humanities saviors in 5 short, fantastic words.
But how much is too much? And what about when humanities saviors become the reason I don't have human interactions anymore?
I'm cooped up inside, wasting away, being a hypocrite and being tamed.(An expectant half rhyme I had no intention of half rhyming.)
I love them, I need them and they're ruining my life.

My drugs in a nutshell;
Harry Potter - 'You laugh, you cry and then you come back for more'. Not technically related to HP in any way, but the same outcome, yeah?
Danisnotonfire - Dan is a true inspiration to the socially awkward, the ones who stay inside on the internet all day without the tiniest bit of self respect or doubt and the ones who suck at being human beings - aka us all.
And finally Adventure Time - A light in a very dark world full of sluts and twelvies.

They're ruining my life, but at the same time how do I possibly let them go?
They're like my children, or more accurately, my drugs.

I guess I now know what goes on in the mind of a mass murderer...

Uninspired and Annoyed

How does one start a story? How come I can no longer feel this burning need, this necessity to write? What is wrong with me?
I have this brilliantly brilliant idea for a story - unique, mystique and dark - but not a clue on how to start it or where to, in fact.
I have never yet read a story in any similarity to my idea, but I can not seem to get it started! It's just so frustrating!
It's such a shame too, because I can write on Blogger, but not on Word? The sense of it all.
Which brings me back to my first question; How does one start a story?
Was there some kind of special club I missed, in which everyone discussed how to start a new york time's best seller...? Because it seems like there is, and it seems like I didn't get the invite.

I saw this on We Heart It and thought it out to be commemorated, don't you agree?
'THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX.' I've always loved that saying, and loved this picture even more.
And don't forget to commemorate the things you appreciate the most (Only a selected few of you will get the ironic brilliance of that). Have a nice day/night.

Unrealism

So I love Carrie Fletcher (aka Itswaypastmybedtime) and recently I went through all her videos and watched them again... for the third time... and remembered her blog - alliknownow.com.

I read a few of her posts, but the one that really caught my attention was 'Unrealistic' from the 9th of June, wherein she discussed the social barriers of dreams and realities and which path is suitable to take.
It forced me to realize just how horrid the real world is and how much we get put down about it.
I love singing, acting and writing, but I've been taught my whole life that these aren't the right career paths and that I should get more involved in medicine and physiology and psychology.
But I don't want to and I don't care. And that's good. I guess.

Who cares if your likes and dislikes are different to those around you? I want you to go out and chase what makes you happy, go along the bumpy road of life until you finally reach it and keep it.
You want to sing? Sing!
You want to dance? Dance!
You want to be a doctor? Be a freaking doctor! It's really that simple.
I'm not saying the way there will be easy, I mean where's the fun in that? (Who would want to skip to the end of the book without reading the middle? You'd just get lost) but the choice to take a way there is easy, because you're making that choice and that choice will make you happy.
The only one stopping you from chasing what you truly want, is you. Let loose the metaphorical chains of your life and strive toward greatness, because the only person who can ever truly stop you is yourself.
Don't give up and don't give in. Give it all you've got and strive for what makes you happy.
Because you can and you will and you'll be happier because of it.
