“17″

Written by... Lacie Beller Time. 

What is time? Who decided that there are 365 days in a year, 12 months within those 365 days, 52 weeks within those 12 months, 7 days within each week, 24 hours within each day, 60 minutes within each hour, and 60 seconds within each minute? Time is just a concept, I happen to spend a lot of my time thinking about time (ironic, I know), and fearing how much I have left in this life i’m living. My name is Lacie. I am 17 years old, and I wish I had more time. That might sound silly considering I am very young and seem to have all the time in the world, but what if I ceased to exist tomorrow? What if I left this earth without ever having done the things I swore I would do before I die? Although time, and how much I have left of it is completely out of my control, I have decided to take matters into my own hands and, sorry to sound extremely cliché, live everyday as if it were my last. 

My dream for as long as I can remember has been to move to New York City and pursue acting. It’s always seemed like a long shot for many reasons, for example- money. It’s no secret that New York isn’t the cheapest place to live, and for a while I let that hold me back from what I really want in life, which if you think about it is really, really ridiculous. Too many people let silly pieces of green paper control how they live their lives, and too many people give up on their life long dreams because of those silly pieces of green paper. I refuse to let that happen to me. Even if I have to live in a tiny studio apartment with more than one roommate, I will do it and be more than happy because I will be in my favorite place in the whole world doing my favorite thing in the whole world! I know it won’t be easy, but it will be an experience, and every experience in your life helps shape you into the person you are, and the person you want to be. I am done listening to negative people telling me that acting isn’t a realistic career to pursue if I want to have money in the bank. My personal beliefs tell me that mental and emotional stability are far more important then financial stability. So, starting right now I am going to stop letting fear of the unknown hold me back from my true calling. I am going to take the time I have to build the life I want for myself, and if I fail, at least I tried. What I do know is this… I would rather live the rest of my life working a job that barely pays my rent but keeps me in the place that I love with the people I love rather than work some bullshit job that I dread going to everyday, in a place that I don’t belong in, with people I don’t belong with. So, the moral of this extremely drawn out message is chase after your dreams, no matter how unrealistic or unconventional they may seem, and never, EVER give up on getting what you truly want out of life.

Is it possible for you to cut off my internet connection completely? The single reason being because I can't cope with any more Capaldigasams! Too much hotness, not enough eyeballs in my head to stare at them all.

I think someone needs to open a clinic for us Capaldi addicts!!

Hahaha that was ME…hello!! I was so delighted with this, he honestly made my year. I’ll explain to your followers that it was my birthday the same day as DOTD. Way back in August my kids and I wrote to him congratulating him on the part and I said how seeing his documentary about Scotland On Art had really inspired me to take up art again after many years. (I lost my confidence at school many years ago when my art teacher told me I was useless…which I bloody wasn’t, but at 17 you believe the horrible things people say) anyway I signed up to do a course at my local art school and am absolutely LOVING it. I also mentioned that I was very excited about the 50th and it was on the same day as my birthday, so it took away the misery of being another year older. Never expected to hear anything back at all, I merely only wanted to tell him how fab he was and my kids wanted to send him some pictures! So last Saturday, when this arrived for me, at the age of 35 I actually turned into what I think is referred to on tumblr as a “squeeing fangirl”. Needless to say he is my most favourite person of the moment. In fact the only reason I use tumblr is because it’s great for this here fangirling phenomenon. So there we go! I hope this works because I’ve never actually posted anything before….

Hello and happy birthday for last week!  I tried to send you a message but I don't think you have your "ask" box enabled so hopefully you will see this.  Thank you so much for sharing the story behind the card, and that's so awesome to hear A Portrait Of Scotland inspired you to get back into art!  And it's also nice to know I'm not the only 35 year old mum on tumblr who is also a squeeing Peter Capaldi fangirl!  If you ever want to say hi you are most welcome to drop me a message on my tumblr any time :) xx
