Creative Writing?

"We write to taste life twice, in the moment and in retrospect." -Anaïs Nin. Writing is a way of working out your feelings for yourself, not always others, and I enjoy writing when I need to say something, but not to anyone or out loud. I saw a post on Pinterest, (linked here ) about fate and coincidence being personified and loved it so much that I wrote the start of a story, just describing the two. Tell me what you think in the comments or on Google+ Here it is! Down a dark alleyway in 1920’s London, a young man leant against a crate, looking slightly amusedly at the young woman before him. She, petite yet perhaps quietly overpowering sat with her legs crossed gracefully. Her poised, prepared appearance somehow complimented the handsome young man wearing a black suit with no jacket, his bowtie undone and hanging effortlessly, hair tousled as though someone had just been running their hands through it. While looking entirely careless, he somehow looked p

I'm Back?!  Look, it's been a while here on White Noise, but a lot has been happening... I will keep up these posts from now on, I swear. I'm sorry it's been such a long time, and this post is only to state that I haven't forgotten about this blog and that I'll continue to post. Until next time, C.

2017, The Year In Review.

2017 has been a big year. Donald Trump became president, that many Kardashians are meant to be pregnant no one knows what to do with themselves, and both Harry Styles and Niall Horan released albums. My 2017 has been... Eventful. I had four music exams, NAPLAN, I started high-school, joined the tennis squad, was cast in a music, did my first formal and so  many other things.I'm fairly proud of my 2017. Although lots of bad things have happened in rest of the world, my tiny life has been, in hindsight, okay. Music exams in particular have given me INSANE anxiety, angst, and just put me on the edge, but I got through in the end. I hope 2018 will bring me as much, if not more joy as the year before. I hope your 2018, dear reader, will bring astonishing happiness and memorable times with your friends and family. Until Next Time, Charlotte. White Noise.

Anchoring.

You know those times, where you're so upset, that nothing seems to help? Try to make yourself ANCHORED. You know that thing, that place,that item, that just makes you feel better? Not perhaps completely cured, but it just, helps? You could be having the worst day of your whole life, this thing will always help. But what if you are far, far away from this thing? This place could be 4000 kilometers away from where you are now, that thing feels so far away it might as well be on Jupiter. So just think. Close your eyes, and picture whatever, wherever, even whoever that thing is, and create the best mental image you possibly can. Think about who you've met, where you've been, what you've done and how this object, this place, how this person, helps you.If that doesn't help, take a look at what you're wearing. Is there anything that's significant? Put your hand on this item, and remember it's time with you. Whatever has hurt you, scared you, made you cry y

Exams

WHAT NOT TO DO IN AN EXAM As every high school aged teen will know, exams are tough. Whether you ace them or not, your stress levels will reach all new highs. I myself am a musician, and know that exams for the arts are no different. Before the exam, (of any kind), try not to… Completely flip out. I know it’s hard, but getting angry or really sad at people around you will not help anyone. Try to space out your revision or practice. Make up a timetable of when you are going to study and stick to it. Let the exam take over. Don’t exclude yourself from the outside world. Letting the test, exam, aural presentation, performance or concert take over your mind and/or your life is not healthy. Break up your study into blocks each day or study with a friend. (I know that sounds like asking your crush to help you with that bio homework from literally every movie but that’s not what I meant). ;) Remember: Practice Makes Perfect! The more time you spend practicing, the better
