razzle dazzle rose.

4.15.2012

*written yesterday
I could not bring myself to sleep in this morning. And that's not something you'll hear me say often. I crept up the stairs a few minutes ago, only to realise everyone was still asleep, so here I am, literally buried under five or so blankets (i am perpetually cold), writing this on the back of an old biology lab. Investigating the Movement of Water. Works for me. 
Today I am seventeen. And maybe it does feel a bit different. But mostly, it feels just like yesterday - incredibly exciting and a bit terrifying. With shooting my first engagement session in the afternoon and barista training in the evening, today is what I would call a day of firsts. And I think I'm ready.

"rose, i'm feeling older.
courage my love, will make me bolder.
expecting softness, can lead to foolishness.
when i choose my colour, it will be razzle dazzle rose."
