I've never been one to really understand why people would want to sit in front of a computer and tell the world about your life, but, it's a new year, so why not? I don't know if anyone will be reading this, but, I'll just tell myself people are for a bit of satisfaction. So, who am I? This is a question even I struggle to answer. But let's get to the basics. I am a fourteen year old female from Australia. Australia? Yes Australia, were the temperature soar throughout the year, and there is wildlife roaming everywhere. Well that's what it seems like to me, whether it's a kangaroo jumping through the outback, a crow annoyingly squawking, or a mosquito biting every piece of visible skin on your body. But despite all this, I really love this amazing country, and I couldn't think of a better place to grow up.
I was born in Hobart, Tasmania, and have moved several times throughout the years. I'd have to admit, I'm not the most outgoing person, and I do struggle a lot to fit in. But, at this stage in life, things couldn't seem to be better. I have a great support group, school, and couldn't be more thankful for the opportunities I have been given.
I have been debating for a little while now whether to start a blog or not, and for some reason, now seems to be the right time. I first started to consider this when I began reading blogs written by fellow Blogger 'Zoella'. I was really inspired to try writing, and see how it went, and if it didn't work out, then at least I could say I'd given it a go. I'll leave her link below:

Well that's just a little about me, if you guys want to know anything else, feel free to leave a comment, or just to tell me if you enjoyed this blog so far.
Now, to a more popular topic - Valentine's Day. Yes, the day where people declare their love for each other and spoil girls with unwanted gifts. Although you probably don't care, yes, I do have a boyfriend. Did he get me anything? No, he didn't. Does it bother me? No, it doesn't. Some of you reading this now may be thinking, 'are you insane, he didn't buy anything!', but the truth is, I asked him not to. As a girl, I am expected to love the idea of Valentine's Day, but, I would say it has to be one of my least favorite days. I hate the idea of men spending money on gifts just to get a girls attention. One, girls shouldn't need to be bribed, two, I don't want you wasting money on a gift I don't need, and I probably won't like.
I think the overall idea of Valentine's Day is great, but what it has turned into isn't. I'd rather a boy come up to me and say hi, rather than embarrassing me by buying a singing telegram, and spending money on a rose that will most likely die in the next day or two. But for all those loved up couples, or those others that are enjoying single-hood, I hope you had a wonderful day regardless.
Hopefully, you've enjoyed this little read and continue to spend a little time looking at my blogs. I'd love to hear feedback from some of you!
