internet friends

Bonjour my internet friends,

Recently, I watched two videos that warmed my heart and made me smile. This one from Emma's point of view as she goes to meet Ash, and this one from Ash's point of view as they meet Emma.

The two have been internet friends since June of last year, meeting on tumblr due to both of their love of Troyler (Troye Sivan and Tyler Oakley).

I follow both of their blogs and they are actually both quite fabulous!

They met for the first time on January 31st, 2015.

Watching their videos gave me hope that one day I might meet the friends I've made online.

Because, from watching their videos, internet friends are just like real life best friends but far away.
It just brought me so much joy to see someone else happy. I was smiling during the entirety of their videos.

They made me think, ‛dang I can't wait to meet one of my friends, it's going to be just great.'

I love them all to pieces, even though we've never met face-to-face. They are such great people with big hearts and beautiful personalities.

See what I'm trying to say is that internet friends aren't any different from real-life friends.

So why do we differentiate?

They're our friends no matter what.

Through the tough times and the happy times, friends (in general) are always there for you. And really, that includes internet friends.

Ashlynn and Emma met because of Troye and Tyler.

I met a lot of my internet friends because of youtubers, bands, singers, and common interests.

If we don't have a common interest, we make one.

I have an entire online squad, and we have each other's backs.

They know who they are. If you're reading this as one of my internet friends, please know how much I appreciate knowing you and hope that one day we can meet for real.

keep smiling beautifuls,
Naddy xoxo

my 2015 anthems

 

Bonjour my internet friends,

At the beginning of this new year, I decided to have an anthem song for this year to power me. I decided on Warrior by Demi Lovato.

Which then prompted me to write this:

“The song that I want to be in the back of my mind during this year is Warrior by Demi Lovato. I don't know why, it just came to me as a song I wish to be my anthem of 2015. I want to analyze the lyrics and remember them when I'm in times of need. I want to find a way to relate to them and make it my own personal goal to become a warrior in my mentality. Especially through school, exams, and going to grade eleven. I will be a warrior."

After thinking about it for a while I came up with a list of songs I wanted to be in my mind during this year. Here are my 2015 anthems.

Warrior by Demi Lovato
“Now I'm a warrior, now I've got thicker skin. I'm a warrior. I'm stronger than I've ever been. And my armour, is made of steel, you can't get in. I'm a warrior. And you can never hurt me again.”

I want to be a warrior.

Girl Almighty by One Direction
“Her light is as loud as as many ambulances as it takes to save a saviour, oh (whoa whoa whoa). She floats through the room on a big balloon. Some say, "She's such a fake," that her love is made up. No, no, no, no. Let's have another toast to the girl almighty. Let's pray we stay young, stay made of lightning. Am I the only, only believer? There's something happening here. The only, only believer. There's something happening here, I hope you feel what I'm feeling too.”

I want to be the girl almighty.

Social Casualty by 5 Seconds of Summer
“Just a girl turned 18. She ran away to chase her dreams. And they said she wouldn't make it far. She took a chance and packed her bags. She left town and didn't look back. So tired of wishing on the stars (wishing on the stars). So save me from who I'm supposed to be! Don't wanna be a victim of authority, I'll always be a part of the minority. Save me from who I'm supposed to be. So tell me, tell me, tell me what you want from me, I don't wanna be another social casualty.”

I want to stand out and go my own way.

Shake It Off by Taylor Swift
“But I keep cruising. Can't stop, won't stop moving. It's like I got this music in my mind saying, "It's gonna be alright." 'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play. And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate. Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I shake it off, I shake it off. Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break. And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake. Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake. I shake it off, I shake it off.”

I want to just shake it off and let it all go.

We Are by Big Time Rush
“Life's too short to sit and wait for luck to come our way. Light it up like fireworks, I wanna hear you say. We are, we are! We are alive. And we are the light that's shining now. We are, we are! We are the reckless. And you can hear us drowning out the sound. We are, we are! Young and dumb, always chasing something. We are, we are! Hearts like drums, you can hear us coming. We are, we are.”

I want to live in the present, and not in the past.

You Don't Know Me by Ariana Grande
“I don't need to live by your rules, you don't control me. Until you've walked a mile in my shoes, you don't know me. And I know, I know, I know you don't like it. You don't, you don't, you don't know where I've been. It's my life so truth be told, I see you thinking but there's just one thing, dear. And you think you know but you don't have no idea. Think you know me but there's more to see my love.”

I want to be myself, no matter what others think.

Human by Cher Lloyd
“Everything you see that glitters isn’t always gold. Everything you think is perfect, oh isn’t always so. Many times many times I would've let my feelings show. Everything you see that glitters isn’t always gold. You know I’m just human, human, human after all.”

I want to recognize that I am only human.

One Day by Emblem3
“All my life I've been waiting for, I've been praying for, for the people to say that, “we don't wanna fight no more and there'll be no more wars.” And our children will play. One day.”

I want to help the world, big picture or small.

Secrets by Mary Lambert
“They tell us from the time we're young to hide the things that we don't like about ourselves, inside ourselves. I know I'm not the only one who spent so long attempting to be someone else. Well I'm over it. I don't care if the world knows what my secrets are.”

I want to be an open book, without anything to hide.

Ordinary by Ricky Dillon
“So sick and tired of staying up to see the break of dawn. Everybody's taking shots, 'til they're passed out on the lawn. Broken hearts and Styrofoam and empty double cups. I guess I'm ordinary 'cause I don't give a what.”

I want to just be as I am without having to fit standards.

A Different Beat by Little Mix
“I got the right to make up my mind. Say it loud and clear! For the whole wide world to hear. We're marching for love, so turn up the drum. Say it loud and clear! For the whole wide world to hear. Yeah, we must have different shoes on. We're marching to a different beat. Yeah! So baby put your boots on, keep marching to a different beat.”

I want to walk my walk and talk my talk.

XIAT by Trevor Moran
“There's always been a need to get rid of this grief. It's what I call XIAT. Been in highs been in lows, feel like there's nowhere to go. Is there something wrong with me? Trying to do normal things I used to pursue. So fired up but now rotting inside. I do my hardest to break out of this shell. Without a crack, I'm still stuck in this hell.”

I want to voice my passions and problems to help others.

Haters Gonna Hate by Tonite Only
“Haters, don't hate us like we're famous. We're not the one's who fake it. Cuz fakers never make it. Haters gonna hate.”

I want to just be care free and dance, because why not?

And that is all. I hope you enjoyed. :)

keep smiling beautifuls,
Naddy xoxo
