    Surprisingly enough, this smile occurred while I was at school.

    I should be working on the wonderful assignments Professor HarryHands gave me, but NO, I'm sitting the lab waiting for Stupid McStupidedyPants.

    Here's to you Dailybooth.
    Adios
    It's been fun.

    I must go.
    The world is out there waiting for me!
    I'll stop by from time to time,
    say hello,
    but a greater place is calling me.

    I want to completely submerge myself in the wonder of the world, the richness of the people I will meet someday and the places i will go. I want to swim in exoticism and dance with adventure :)

    Before I go, I'd like to ask something of you. It's something I've been doing myself, and I find that my life is so much better for it.

    Make a change.
    Do something for someone else because there's no reason not to.
    It will make you happier than you've ever been.

    Currently, I'm working with Invisible Children, an astounding organization you should definitely look into. While you're at it, buy a pair of TOMS shoes. :) Make the world a better place.

    Now go out there and love love love!
    Bon voyage!

    Oh hello dailybooth,
    It's been a long, long time.

    Life has been so... amazing, unmanageable, rousing and exhausting.

    I've been considering quitting forever.
    Dailybooth that is.
    Life is out there! Happening! Right now! There are things to discover! People to meet and experiences to create!

    I still stop by, check in on some of my favourites :)
    It's not as if I've truly left you.
    But I might. It depends. We'll see how it plays out.

    Snaps from my neighbourhood last Novembre :)

    Winter is on the way and Wolseley looks beautiful in a fresh coat of snow.

    My favourite part of winter - the warmth in your tummy after you take your first sip of hot chocolate. Preferably after a nice, long play in the snow. Where the tips of your fingers still feel frosty.

    "By the time we got to Woodstock we were half a million strong."

    SO MANY NEW THINGS !

    Essay for English: Gender roles are fucking complicated. Still enjoying myself though. Mr. HarryHands, my english teacher, is brilliant.

    I got into the theatre company! Did I mention that?
    And the play we are doing is so, so beautiful. It's romantic and dark and horrifying and gothic and ugh... I will go on about that more later on surely. But it is magical!

    NEW PROJECT!
    -- I am only purchasing thrift, union made and fair trade clothing as of now. If all goes well, I will hopefully being doing this for the rest of my life :)

    Q:
    What are you doing to help the planet?

    Happy days & warm wishes :)

    Why live life from dream to dream? And dread the day when dreaming ends?

    These people make me happy.
    Old bulidings make me happy.
    Warm and fresh southern fried tofu makes me happy.
    Tiny toes and fingers make me happy.
    Untouched earth makes me happy.
    Love makes me happy.

    What makes you happy?

    Indie used to mean something.
    Independant.
    Independant from Consumerism and the Big Name brands.
    Fashion independence.
    Attitude independance.
    Defying the sickening teenage nihilism.
    Defying the fall back,
    the easy choice,
    the mindless choice,
    the mainstream.

    Even if all it meant was doing what you felt like, regardless of whether or not it was in our out. Even if it fit into their freaky specific, countless trends. Even if it meant not caring. Because atleast you were aware.

    Now indie is in. It's cool. It's copied.
    I copy.
    You copy.
    We all copy.

    I copy.
    You copy.
    We all copy.

    Why are you doing it?

    Indie vs. Hipster.
    Differentiate.

    WHY.
    Aren't they just labels?
    Aren't they everything you hate?
    Try so hard to defy?
    By defying, are you simply falling into the cycle?
    The endless cycle?
    What's the point?
    Give up?
    But why don't you care?
    Shouldn't you care?

    So what's the answer?

    Do you give a shit?
    Sound like bullshit?
    Probably.
    It probably is.
    Cause voicing your opinion is 'in' nowadays.
    And who wants that?

Mandalyn is a 18 year old female from Canada.

About

I want to travel the world in my bare feet. I want to make friends with people instantaneously. I want to watch the sun for one whole day - from the moment it rises to the moment it sinks behind the horizon. I want to know, to feel, to touch and to learn. I want to love...everything.
