#coffee--mugs

yeah, my mum never really cared about it all which is good because i never felt pressured, but i also never felt pushed? Idk, maybe a good balance is what people need.

i don't mind that they push me some because i am super competitive and ambitious myself, but it would be nice to hear it's okay not to be the best sometimes. 

I prefer: Just do your best and you’ll be fine, we’ll love you no matter what. My mum always told me that before exams.

that does sound a lot better

jk i love it 

feel ur pain <3

I'm number 6 right?

my best friend and I are getting matching tattoos of a paper airplane on our ankles to represent that no matter how far away we are from each other we will be there for each other, EVEN if I have to fly to the other side of the planet :)

THAT IS SO CUTE!! ahh

This summer I'm getting a little teacup outline tattooed behind my ear together with my "sister," the estonian exchange student who lived with my family last year. having tea late at night and talking was always our thing, so I'm superduper excited to get that!!!! 

Rules: In a text post, list ten books that have stayed with you in some way. Don’t take but a few minutes, and don’t think too hard  -  they don’t have to be “right” or “great” works, just the ones that have touched you. Tag five friends, including me, so I’ll see your list. Make sure you let your friends know that you’ve tagged them.

Cloud Atlas - David Mitchell

Junk - Melvin Burgess

The Great Gatsby - F. Scott Fitzgerald

Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman

Equal Rites (to name one. The entire Discworld series really) - Terry Pratchett

Alice's Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen

How To Be A Woman - Caitlin Moran

Mistakes in the Background - Laura Dockrill

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (again, whole series but this one's my fave) - J.K. Rowling

the Narnia series - CS Lewis: In a nutshell, my childhood. I felt a little betrayed when I realised that Aslan is Jesus, but it still makes me feel fuzzy.

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban - JK Rowling: The gateway fandom, I'll reread them again one day. This one has so many of my favourite things in it, oh Lupin and Buckbeak <3

Life of Pi - Yann Martel: Gorgeously written. Makes me think about theology in a new, more beautiful light, and the FUCKING ENDING.

Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen: Just 'cause. I like Jane Austen and she's great at writing people but she's just far too good at annoying ones so this is the only one i've ever managed.

Thief of Time - Terry Pratchett: I adore the Discworld, I've chosen this one because it contains one of my favourite quotes.

mistakes in the Background - Laura Dockrill: An adorable collection of poems and illustrations with a motherfuckin sticker sheet in the back.

How to Be A Woman - Caitlin Moran: I've properly got into feminism and de-ignorancing myself since I turned 17, and this book was a big part of this. And hilarious.

Of Mice and Men - I did this for GCSE and loved it a lot, it inspired me in that there isn't a wasted word.

Junk - Melvin Burgess: Because dandelions <3

Submarine - Joe Dunthorpe: The film more than the book, but the story's great and character of Oliver Tate pretty much lives in a corner of my head at this point, he's hilarious and so sweetly misguided.
