And hashtags. And people who are genuinly excited about the new iPhone. I hate girls who take selfies and pull duck face NOT ironically. I hate sitting on the bus and seeing the screens of people&#8217;s phones light up their faces as they text, tweet, facebook or play Angry Birds. I hate girls who work in retail who try to convince me that a pastel coloured nail polish will really go well with that new top. I hate that our fundamental needs and innate attributes as human beings are either not fully accomodated or blatantly discouraged by our culture and society as a whole. </p> <p>Nothing aligns. Nothing is easy. Nothing makes sense.</p> <p>I&#8217;m sick of being stuck in my head in a world where the entire population is suffering the exact same problem. </p> <p>And then comes the insufferable guilt for not actually being what everyone seems to think should be a default state of being; <strong>happy</strong>.</p> <p>I&#8217;m guilty of a few of the things I have mentioned above, I&#8217;ll admit it. And not to mention I&#8217;m posting this on Tumblr of all places. But I&#8217;m overwhelmed and tired. </p> <p>I feel like I&#8217;m at the end and the beginning of a lot of things. The perception I have of myself changes every minute of everyday and it&#8217;s very rarely positive. Perhaps it&#8217;s culminating in a realisation I need to change a lot of what I do to be more fulfilled. I have to realise that a lot of my life has been spent lying to myself and others about what I truly want or think.</p> <p>I&#8217;ve spent my whole life quietly accomodating other people&#8217;s feelings, opinions and perceived needs because it&#8217;s been easy. Quite frankly the alternative scared me. That being, doing what I want without the fear of judgement or social alienation.</p> <p>What the fuck does Courtney Jurd actually want? </p> <p>Weirdly enough this is probably the first time I have genuinly asked myself that question. </p>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/31982616670http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/31982616670Fri, 21 Sep 2012 23:34:52 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7ys7zJDzI1qgqdzzo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30866168400http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30866168400Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:33:06 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lsx51sB6fe1qakb5lo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30866158680http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30866158680Tue, 04 Sep 2012 22:32:46 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n7zbCeWk1rra1j7o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n7zbCeWk1rra1j7o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n7zbCeWk1rra1j7o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n7zbCeWk1rra1j7o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n7zbCeWk1rra1j7o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9n7zbCeWk1rra1j7o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30707507457http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30707507457Sun, 02 Sep 2012 15:09:54 +1000<p>What do you do when all the passion is gone.</p>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378975721http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378975721Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:11:25 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6oq49e9zi1qfqcofo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378907858http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378907858Tue, 28 Aug 2012 20:08:34 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9fjsykudR1raralxo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378664010http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378664010Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:58:48 +1000<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6s7kaubI31r1697to1_500.png"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378573391http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378573391Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:54:48 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5zws3K0y41qzfyxjo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378557587http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/30378557587Tue, 28 Aug 2012 19:54:07 +1000<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m71rhqFU9l1r1697to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/27053760464http://theyearoftherabbitandthedragon.tumblr.com/post/27053760464Fri, 13 Jul 2012 01:39:43 +1000
