Philosophical ramblings and Photography...

Hello people of the internet!

   Again, it has been a long time since my last post and for the 'billionth' time (....that doesn't seem like a real word) I apologise. I really wish I was able to post more frequently but with college work, it sometimes is just too difficult. Anyway, this post is slightly different in the fact that I will not be posting a review or recommendation as such, but just some photos I have taken in and around college instead. I am currently in the process of researching for some new television shows to watch, which actually sounds much more professional than it is. In reality, I am lazily lounging on my bed and stuffing my face with food whilst binge watching with frequent marathons of various series. The joys of escapism! So until something captures my interest, these photographs will be posted.

    Ultimately, I think what we can take away from this blabbering introduction, is that I have lost the ability to write coherently and probably need to sleep for the next century. If there is one thing I think I need to learn, something everyone should attempt to do even when they are consumed by stress, whether it college or general life as the culprit, is to relax. I know it is easier said than done, but if there is one thing I really believe in, is that people just need to enjoy life for what it is. Grasp any opportunities you can! As Emma Watson (sorry....I had to mention her....because she is AWESOME!!!) has recently said in her UN Feminist speech 'if not me...who?.....if not now...when?' Do not worry, I will contain myself and refrain from quoting anymore, however I urge you to ponder on this statement. I guess all I am trying to say....is make the most of life. Develop yourself as an individual and do not let work suffocate your creativity. Take the opportunities offered to you, and always follow the route that will make you happy and one that will inspire positivity in the world around you.
 
   I will stop all this pretentious philosophical rambling now and will leave you with some photos. I do not know what the weather is like where you are personally, but at the moment, in and around Cirencester, England....it is rubbish! The heavens have opened and decided to drown us! I managed to venture out into the wilderness....a strange world called 'Outside'....whilst the weather was still excellent. Consequently, I will leave you with some cool autumnal photos from  the area surrounding college, that I hope you appreciate. The day I have to apply to university is looming ever closer, hence the increased levels of stress and anxiety, thus I am really trying to develop my camera skills. So without further ado, take a gander at some of my nature snapshots...I hope they brighten your day for a least a little while.























....I know I said I wouldn't, but I leave you with one more interesting quote. Oscar Wilde stated 'To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all.' Ultimately, if nothing else, I hope this post has sparked people to relax and accept life for what it is. It may be stressful and difficult at times, but if you persevere and work hard, it is incredibly rewarding. You get out of life what you put in! I am trying my hardest 'to live' and not to just simply 'exist' and though I may get caught up in life's workload often, I am attempting to just be happy. I live through the camera, escaping into television and film to relax. Take these quotes and do what you will...do not just 'exist'...but 'live'.

Next post: The Flash (new CW television series....keeping with the recent comic book theme).
