HEARTBREAK | PLAYLIST FRIDAY

I like to think that in some ways I have a realistic grasp on life, and that I can share it with you all, and that my little pieces of advice might help someone out. I spend hours editing the crap out of each post so I know what i'm actually going on about. I can't explain my mind, it's tangled and twisted, much like the ideas in it.

If you know me, Sarah, my blog posts are all over the place. But you know what? Humans carry around so many thoughts, emotions, and feelings that it's hard to put into words, let alone know what you're talking about. No matter who you are and what others have been through who you are trying to support, you need to have time for yourself. I know how it feels when someone's gone, and it feels like no one's ever gonna feel this heartbroken. Ever.

Heartbreak is one of the worst feelings in the world, its physically sickening. It feels like someone's cut your heart out of your chest, and decided to stomp on it. But however ~ time heals all wounds, even if it doesn't feel like it at the time. It still leaves scars and memories and reminders of what you once had, but that's okay, they're you. But when you've given all you can possibly give and it's not enough, what else are you supposed to give? 

But let me get one thing straight, you and no other person should make you feel incomplete without them. And you won't feel empty, I know it may sure as hell feel like it and you've given a little piece of yourself away that you know they could break. But YOU are your own person as a whole kidneys, lungs, emotions and all, no one can take that away from you.

Anyway, here is my little 'heartbreak playlist'. I tried to keep the sad melancholy songs to a minimum :)

All you had to do was stay - Taylor Swift

Take a chance on me - Abba

Dancing on my own - Robyn 

Jar of hearts - Christina Perri

Heartbreak dream - Betty Who

You (ha ha ha) - Charli XCX

Cry me a river - Justin Timberlake

Why don't you love me - Beyonce

Living for love - Madonna

The one that got away - Katy Perry

Turning tables - Adele

Too little too late - Jojo

HIGHS AND LOWS

Moira from Clyne / Photo: James K Lowe / Styling: Katherine Lowe

Highs:

1. Rose Matafeo's comedy show 'Finally Dead' AMAZING! I loved the set, the outfits, oooh and Paul Williams! I could go on about this for ages but i'm going to stop there.

2. I don't know what it is about the photo on the left, (above) but I love it so much.

3.  I started watching Ted Talks (which are really interesting), and also developed my love my Tavi Gevinson - she's an angel. 

4.  Lorde just got back to NZ from London which means... she's one step closer to finishing her album, and I cannot be more excited about it!

Lows:

1. I'm fourteen days into Junk Free June. I've had no refined sugar, and I feel shit. :'(

2. Today I had a SERIOUS craving for cookies, and I had the stuff to make them, so I decided to make them (sugar-free). The first batch I made, burned. The second lot, I put too many on the tray and they stuck together and covered the whole tray (also dripped all over my oven).Then I ran out of flour, so now i'm hungry, grumpy and crying, and come to the conclusion I can't bake. 

3.  Acne. I'm pretty sure I don't need to explain myself.

STEVIE

Throughout the course of your life, you meet endless amounts of people. They come and go, leaving footprints on your heart. But if their footprints start to fade after a while, know that it wasn't because they didn't love you, or your friendship wasn't real. Circumstances change, people change, and thats okay.

But only a few of them leave the heaviest and most prominent footprints. The ones that make an impact on your life, and the ones that feel genuine. The footprints you know you can trust the most, and after a while you know you can depend on them for anything. The ones that know you inside out, and accept you for who you are.

My friend Stevie, she's one of them. I haven't really talked about her on here before, but she's a person I'd really like to talk about now. Here are some facts about her:

She's the bravest gal i've even known, she's drama-free and doesn't make a fuss over something little. Sometimes I worry that she gives too much love away, that she doesn't have enough left for herself. She's encouraged me to achieve so many things I was to scared to do (including starting this blog). Which I couldn't be able to tell her how thankful I am of that.

If you know me, I, Sarah, hate explaining things. When i'm with Stevie I don't feel like I need to justify my actions, or explain myself. She somehow knows when I need space and how to give it to me, whilst still being there for me. She doesn't shove advice down my throat, but let's me depict these detailed melancholy ideas inside my head, so she too can understand what my starry eyes comprehend.

My favourite thing about this chica is there's never a dull day with her. Whether we're dressing up, dressing down, going out, staying home, it's always different and never boring. She's the kind of person you'd want your child to be, your best friend, your sister, your mum, your boyfriend. She's perfect.

Stevie has this way, she's so gentle but she's fiery when there's something or someone worth standing up for, and she won't take crap from anyone. And she never asks 'what's in it for me'? She'd help anyone regardless of whether she profited from it or not.

Stevie's seen me at my best and my worst, and my weirdest. She's the most genuine person i've ever met. It doesn't mean she's my closest, or my favourite person in the world - because frankly I don't have one. But our friendship doesn't need to be measured, she's someone I can trust and rely on, or just have a heart-to-heart with. There's something about her that never makes me feel tired, even when i've had enough of the world and want to be alone, I can be alone with her. 

I just wanted to acknowledge her goodness in the world. I believe she could change the world in a heartbeat, she makes feel and see the good parts of myself. We've been through a lot together, and she's always been there for me.

So thank you, you're truly an angel.

You'll only find a couple of these people in your lifetime, so make sure you treasure them. 

I love you and I'll see you soon, 

Sarah x x x

HIGHS AND LOWS

Glassons edt. #5 campaign image photo/Darren Ankenman.

Highs: 

1. Last week's long weekend. I did literally nothing.

2. I'm seven days into #junkfreejune and I feel surprisingly okay. (Baring in mind I decided to cut out refined sugar & bread out of my diet instead) Oh, but I will mention I did have a sneaky cookie and coffee combo at Moustache while I was out yesterday. Don't. Tell. Anyone.

3. In two days iv'e cuddled two babies under two weeks old. OMG so cute. I love babies. <3

4. I've written two (by my standards) great posts, but they are more of a rant and there's a fair amount of explicit language. They don't really deserve a place on this blog so I'll post them on my tumblr.

5. Glassons edt #5 range, I think it's their best yet. (I'm eyeing up this and this.)

 Lows:

1. I actually don't have anything to complain about this week... weird, huh.

Love,
