My Name is Melissa and I am not a terrorist, but I do know what I wanna be :)

HEY GUYS!
I'm feeling happy so once again I'm back on blogger blogging away like those typical teenagers do when they're elated/overjoyed/delighted/ecstatic/thrilled... whatever. But since I like to break the trend and not follow the black sheep (considering I am the black sheep) I shall not blog like all other stereotypical teens who attempt to be "different".

Well to be honest I've been thinking a lot now and by a lot I mean A LOT. I'm the sort of person who tends not to "overuse" their brain because like a little kid who believes in Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy, I also believe that over-thinking/over-analysing or alternatively not using your brain at all causes your brains fuse to die out completely.
Ooh and look at me go... totally getting off track here right?
Okay well like I was saying, yes I've been thinking a lot these days about what I wish to do for the rest of my life. I try not to think ahead of time and live my life for the present day, not for the past nor for the future... but for some reason like all final year HSC students should, I also began contemplating what I should be doing for the rest of my life...
And I have finally decided where I want my life to head :)

As you may all know or for those of you who may be totally clueless, I enjoy writing and on several occasions I have been told that my writing engages readers and perhaps I have a slight talent that could be used effectively.
Okay I'll be honest yes sometimes I slacken off in English and tend not to find analysing the way a writer or poet structured their work interesting but that's simply because none of that bullshit matters to me.
Writing should be understood in different perspectives... according to the individual, their life experiences, their age, gender and basically their personality in general. There shouldn't be no right or wrong interpretation of ones work.
I personally believe the subject English (that may I add at one stage I was "ace" at) is waaaaay over-rated and analysing what others said or thought is of no use to us. Not that I'm completely cynical or think that no writers work should be read, in fact some writers have greatly influenced me as well but I tend to have a different take on things.
I on the otherhand wish to write to influence the thoughts of others in a positive way. I wish to show people out there how beautiful life is and how much it has to offer, where we can find those little things that matter and how much more we can appreciate it.
Yes majority of my inspiration has derived from my recent trip to India which truly did have an impact on the way I perceive things but I don't want my inspiration to stop there.
I've realised I want to travel (which most of you probably already knew) and while travelling I want to learn about the history, culture and heritage about every place I go. I want to write about those native citizens in 3rd world countries who suffer injustices everyday... sort of like an advocate for human rights but doing so through my writing.
Quite clearly I haven't exactly thought this through to the full extent but like I said I've been thinking a lot and I'm pretty sure this is where I want to head in life. Maybe one day I'll become a great writer who can change the perspectives of all those pessimistic minded individuals who don't quite know how to appreciate what they have. So fingers crossed I can carry this through without changing my mind considering I have many other potential career paths I wouldn't mind taking.
Overall I've decided that everyday I want to live my life to the fullest, improve the way I feel about myself first and then change the lives of those around me... and that day I know I will be the most successful person alive, even if it means I don't have the most money in the world... as long as I can touch those around me, I shall be satisfied!

Well anyways enough rambling from me...
I hope todays blog has informed y'all about me a bit and what I want from my life :)
So for today that's all folks and as usual I'll leave you with another quote, something that all of us should remember and implement in our lives.
"And in the end, it's not the years in your life that count. It's the life in your years." - Abraham Lincoln
