Opporitunity

So, I was watching this movie the other night and got me thinking. What will happen if we miss an opportunity to do something great? What if we sat through something that would change our lives forever? You see, we wouldn't know what would happen because we didn't do it.

It may be sooner than you realise, but one day we are all going to end up in the ground. Having done so much it doesn't matter by then. But you will have wanted to have done so much by then, like travel over seas, or gotten married, gone to University or Collage, fallen in love and gotten your heart broken. There is so much to do with your life, but yet, so little time.

For me, i already have a mini bucket list made up. And although some of the things may be a little silly, its all about dreaming to do things. Like on mine, I have things like, Travel to Europe, See the Eiffel Tower, Kiss someone in the rain, Fall in love with then most unlikely person, Publish a book, Graduate University, Get married.

But the thing is, I don't care if I don't get the chance to do all of those things. I just want to live out of my shell. And not be some little shy girl. I want to be more then that. 

Till next time,

Empty Night

I like the way everything looks like at night. Peaceful and calm. Like tonight. Its dark but the street lights keep it bright, its misty out, you can see the way it affects your sight. But I don't mind. Sometimes I think I'm nocturnal, meant to see night and live in it. I like the chill of night in the spring, the way its both warm but cold. Its weird I know, but that weirdness I can handle. Its the feeling it gives me that I'm more afraid of. It makes me feel like there is no one else out there, like I'm alone. When I look, it looks different then the day, like the bad should be lurking around the corner. But the thing is, night doesn't always bring evil, like light doesn't always bring the good. Sometimes the dark can be good. It makes me feel like I can hide if I need to. So that way, no one in the world can see me. That way, I can be the invisible girl hiding away, staring out, into the empty night.

This was a thing I wrote last night at about two in the morning, I couldn't sleep, and was just starring out my bedroom window. And I just had to write this. I was beyond inspired.

Till next time.

Don't Think, Don't Judge....

When you listen to music, what do you listen for? Do you listen for the sound? Or for the way it makes you feel? Do you listen for the meaning of every word being sung?

Me, I listen because when I do, I find it peaceful. Almost like one would in dead silence. But silence is loud. In slience you can over think things, you sit there and think or fill the silence with useless thinking. Silence you can hear all of the things you have kept slient for so long. 

I started to think about this after reading the book Just Listen by Sarah Dessen. It is a great book. And that is something that they talk about in the book. The volume of silence is louder than the noises around. This is one of my favorite quotes from the book.

“Music is a total constant. That's why we have such a strong visceral connection to it, you know? Because a song can take you back instantly to a moment, or a place, or even a person. No matter what else has changed in your or the world, that one song says the same, just like that moment.” 

― Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

To anyone who hasn't read it, I sugest you do. It is amazing, the plot and the way it tells both past and present, is all just beyond awesome. In a way Sarah Dessen makes it like you can relate with everything that is being said, or thought. 

But thats all for now, till later ;)

Family

Some of my favorite childhood memories were from my family reunions. Having all of my cousins, aunts, and uncles together was always fun. I loved setting up the tents in the yard, going swimming whenever you wanted. You see every family reunion we have a play horseshoes. And not just play a few petty, but a full on tournament, with a trophy. My family takes horseshoes very seriously and the teams are randomly made by whoever thinks of it first. And at the last family reunion, I got roped into playing as well. I got paired up with my dad, and surprisingly I had a lot of fun. My dad and I even won two whole games, which is shocking because I am terrible at horseshoes. It’s funny how we have this at the center of family reunions, and it has been for a long time. I am pretty sure that horseshoes has been played at the Forest Family Reunion for at least the past fifty years. Also the youngest person I know of that was one of the champions of the great horseshoes tournament was my cousin Ryan, I think he was fifteen or sixteen years old, and his partner was my grandma, who by the way is awesome at horseshoes. Even my little cousins run off into the shed to get the little plastic shoes so they can play too. My younger cousins are actually the ones who keep score most of the time. We were all just brought up learning the rules of the game and how to play. And when we play, it is fun and amazing, and makes me happy to have a big family.

In the Now.

So, I was watching this movie the other night and got me thinking. What will happen if we miss an opportunity to do something great? What if we sat through something that would change our lives forever? You see, we wouldn't know what would happen because we didn't do it.

It may be sooner than you realise, but one day we are all going to end up in the ground. Having done so much it doesn't matter by then. But you will have wanted to have done so much by then, like travel over seas, or gotten married, gone to University or Collage, fallen in love and gotten your heart broken. There is so much to do with your life, but yet, so little time.

For me, i already have a mini bucket list made up. And although some of the things may be a little silly, its all about dreaming to do things. Like on mine, I have things like, Travel to Europe, See the Eiffel Tower, Kiss someone in the rain, Fall in love with then most unlikely person, Publish a book, Graduate University, Get married.

And even though all of these things are on my bucket list, they are also dreams. But maybe, just maybe, i will be able to turn these dreams into reality.

We have to learn to live in the now, and by now, I mean when you feel like doing something, go and do it. Don't be afraid of those who will judge you, or to be yourself.

So, taking in this lesson, I am giving myself a moto. "I do what I want, when I want, and just deal with what ever comes next." hopefully anyone reading this will take in what I'm saying.

Well, since this article is now done, I guess I will be going now. Till next time.

Update!

The 'Together' trailer is now finished! For those who want to see it. Go! Quick! Watch! Tell me what you think!!

Thinking of the Future.

Well I have a little problem, You see my little cousin, she's thinking about her future already, and here I am. Older than her, and no clue what i want to do. I've done some jumping around between what i want to do. I've wanted to do stuff like being a police officer, a detective, even a lawyer (I really like law and crime shows), but I have also wanted to be a news paper editor, or a journalist, but my most recent and most common one that  always end up at again is, an author.

I don't know why exactly. But I like the idea that I could write something that is like real life and let someone get lost in a different world.

That's why I like to read allot. It's an escape from how I am living, and into one that leads you through an adventure, a mystery, or that brings you romance, sometimes so strong that you feel like you are the character.

I want to be able to make someone else feel like that when they read something that I wrote.

But, another thing is, I know that making a career out of being an author is a long shot, because there is no guarantee that the book will be a success. So, I know being an author would kind of be more like a hobby, instead of a career.


And, my rant is now over. 'Till next time!

Coffee Addict Here ;)

Hey!!

I'm the coffee addict! And although i know that not many people will read this page, I know that i just have to write it! I mean i am an "Author Hopeful" and addicted to coffee, example: 9:30 at night and here I am writing on a blog while i have a cup of coffee sitting next to me.

I say that i am an "Author Hopeful" because I have a dream of becoming a published author. I am not exactly sure what it is that i want to do when I am older, but that is on the top of my to do list. I am also currently a wattpad author, and for those of you who do not know what wattpad is, you need to check it out :
http://www.wattpad.com/home

Wattpad is a website where anyone who want to read and write stories by anyone can go. Its free, and fun.
If you go check it out, make sure to also go to : http://www.wattpad.com/user/ToriMakela , because that is my page, I am starting a new book, coming out soon I hope. It's called 'Together', and I don't want to give away much of it before i get to into it, but, it's about a girl in high school who is normal, good, and shy. But is, like me, an author hopeful. The only thing is, she hasn't done enough things in her life to make what she writes feel real. So, she uses a boy she meets to help her with that. He, however is only interested in changing her from her shy personality, making her something one can only dream of. I really hope it will turn out well, because if you look, I have a few books already and they aren't the greatest in the world. Bbut with this one I am determined to make it work! 

Well I think I have ranted enough for tonight, so till next time. 
Victoria. :)
