Then, my friend, we must not regard what the many say of us: but what he, the one man who has understanding of just and unjust, will say, and what the truth will say. And therefore you begin in error when you advise that we should regard the opinion of the many about just and unjust, good and evil, honorable and dishonorable.

White.

I am pretty immature at heart. I adore Disney films and music, I enjoy nothing more than dancing around with absolutely no inhibitions - and to top it all off, I'm about the average height of a 13 year old even though I'm 16. But I despise peer pressure and all the rubbish that comes along with being a teen, but I do like the freedom, authority and the maturity. Sometimes.

I change how I act depending on who I'm around. I am only truly comfortable and myself around a select group of people but I'm finding it hard to be myself even around them any more. I know I can trust my two best friends and family to never judge me, but especially around new people I am extremely shy and worry about what people think of me.

I over think. Always.

Is it good to be self conscious? I have friends who always cover their faces whenever you point a camera at them which is really annoying because you want photos for memories! But everyone is self conscious in some way or form, at some point in their life. I'm sure everyone has something about themselves that they don't like, if not physical attributes. I'm not being cynical, I'm being realistic. No one is going to happily admit that they are perfect because there's no such thing. Whether it be bad teeth, flat hair or no confidence - everyone has hang ups. And of course we'll feel self conscious about them. But what I really hate is when people are self conscious because of bigoted, opinionated comments made about them which have really affected them in a bad way. It's never good to be too blunt to someone, you will hurt them and it will stay with them for the rest of their lives. Think before you try and give 'constructive criticism' - sometimes it helps but most of the time it will make the person just feel awful and if you say that they are 'weird' or 'annoying' or 'too loud' then they probably won't feel comfortable being themselves for a long time. I should know.

I never need to find time to read. When people say to me, ‘Oh, yeah, I love reading. I would love to read, but I just don’t have time,’ I’m thinking, ‘How can you not have time?’ I read when I’m drying my hair. I read in the bath. I read when I’m sitting in the bathroom. Pretty much anywhere I can do the job one-handed, I read.

The cheeky monkey giving us a coconut grin, from my summer trip to Malaysia 2011. Taken on my Olympus Pen EPL1, I put the ISO up really high by accident hence the grain but oh well.
