Hey, are you okay? You seem to have moved to the side of your chair. Is it me? You can have some more room if you want, I don't mind moving over a bit. No? You're okay? Okay.
You're a bit quiet, are you sure you're fine? I haven't had a full conversation for a little while, what's on your mind? I'm sorry, I can't hear you. Oh. Sorry. You didn't say anything. Okay.
Do you want to come over? You're busy? Sure, that's fine! What are you doing? Stuff? Expand? No? That's fine! Enjoy what you are doing! Speak later? Maybe? Okay.
Can I sit with you? Oh, there isn't anymore room? That's okay, there is another table over there. Come and sit with me? No? Okay.
Are you walking to school on Monday? No? Tuesday? Wednesday? Oh, you aren't walking anymore? Oh, sure. I can get a lift, that's fine. Okay.
Hey! You said you weren't walking! Who is this? Oh, is she new? Can I walk with you? No? Okay.
Do you want to come to my party? It's my 16th! You have another party? When can you do? Revision? Surely you can give up an evening for my birthday? You don't want to come. Oh. Okay.
Hey! What, you want to walk with me. No, I'm sorry, I can't. No, sorry I'm not free on that day. Why are you shouting at me? I haven't spoken to you in such a long time. Why do you want my friendship? I kept hold of yours but you left me. Okay.
Stay happy,

Adele | 19th March 2016 | O2 Arena
This weekend was the best weekend of my life so far. I tend to say that a lot, but, this time, I genuinely mean it. I have finally found the inspiration that I have been looking for for the past 2 years.
I have spent two years looking for someone to be my "idol". I went through a long time where I had no one to aspire for or look up to. I didn't find quotes inspirational, I didn't find the news exciting or tragic. I was having a low point in my life which was weirdly some of the best memories. But now I found my aspiration and I feel like a better person for it, already.
On Saturday 19th March, my friend Maisie and I went on a trip up to London. We stayed in a Travelodge in Greenwich and had a big room, even though we had to share a bed! I was the happiest I had been in a very long time and I was also excited. However, the full excitement of what I was doing in the evening had not fully kicked in. I was still buzzing, though.
I did my hair and makeup and wore my favourite clothes, my high-waisted jeans, a loose shirt and my Topshop boots. I wore a bright pink lipstick (Clarins in Joli Rouge, I believe) and I felt more confident than ever.
At 6 o'clock in the evening, we caught the DLR (Docklands Light Railway) and got off at Canary Wharf. We jumped on the Jubilee line to North Greenwich, where we got off and walked out of the station to see a building that I had always wanted to go to and had never had the chance to go before. The O2 Arena. It was MASSIVE! It was a complete complex of restaurants, bowling alleys and a cinema. But we weren't there for that. We were there to see Adele. It had hit me. I was so excited and shaking from a mixture of excitement and hunger (nothing changes).
I bought an Adele tour t-shirt, which has her face on the front and the dates of the European tour on the back. I promptly changed into it and Maisie changed into hers, a t-shirt with eyes on the front, which replicated those at the beginning of the show.
We didn't get the chance to buy food before the beginning and, therefore, had to quickly buy some popcorn on a pop-up stand as we went into the arena.
Then there was a noise. The noise of wind or something fasts running past you. It was beginning.
The eyes opened at about 8 o'clock. As they opened, there was a whispered "Hello". This did it three times before the stage lit up and a section in the middle rose up to see Adele standing in the middle of it. We screamed our heads off and sang every song at the top of our voices.
The setlist was perfect and included a lot of her best songs. She chatted, brought people onto the stage, made us laugh and even forgot her words, which was funny!
It lasted about 2 and a bit hours and it was the best 2 and a bit hours of my life. It was gone before we knew it and soon we were on the packed tube, returning to the hotel.
I hope that, if you got tickets, you enjoy it because it is the best concert you will ever go to. If you didn't get tickets, then watch as many videos as you can because you will want to have gone!
I hope you enjoyed this little story as much as I enjoyed telling it!
Stay happy,
Katie xx
P.s. I am writing this listening to a playlist of every single Adele song!

Kim Kardashian | An Opinion
It seems to be something that lots of people joke about and talk about. There is always an opinion and I think that I want to put my opinion in the mix. This opinion is on how I feel about this and I haven't been persuaded to change it by anyone.
Recently, a photo was posted on Kim Kardashian's Instagram which looked a bit like this:
Now, there was no criticism on this photo, was there. No, because when a man shows his body, he gets comments like "why did you blur it?" and "Ooh cheeky", whereas girls show their body and they get comments like "Wow, what a role model. Not" and "Get some clothes on".
Why is society like this? Why do girls get told to hide their bodies and men can show as much or little as they want? It is not right.
I think that organisations like Free The Nipple are absolutely amazing because they are showing awareness of this factor and I support that.
What are your thoughts?
Stay happy,

Many people have criticised this photo because she isn't wearing anything, she isn't being the role model she is meant to be etc. I think this is wrong. In my opinion, this shouldn't be criticised. I don't see a problem with it. It is her choice and to be honest, it was brave of her to post it. However, this leads on to the whole feminism issue. And yes, it is an issue.
Liam Payne posted a similar photo onto Instagram, which looked like this:

Take Your Own Advice
It has come to my attention lately, that I have been giving so much advice out to others, but so much of it applies to the problems I face as well.
For example, a topic that I am very touchy about. Boys. Confusing creatures who have emotions but decide to hide them under what they believe to be 'dench swag' or whatever you want to call it. I tell my friends so much that they need to be patient and it will happen, but then I get upset because I am not patient. Literally, listen to yourself, Katie!
Also, when I say that they should be doing stuff to prepare for exams, but I am sat on my bed listening to my favourite music and stuffing my face with popcorn. Katie, do some work, seriously! You can stuff your face anytime. It can wait a couple of hours whilst you work!
I think that sometimes, we all have to listen to ourselves. If we don't, we will end up living our lives based on other people's opinions when you have your own and you have your own advice for people so why don't we listen to it.
It might come in handy, one day.
Stay happy,

Flickering | A Poem
Flickering,
You sit on the desk,
Flickering,
At the end of the bathtub,
Flickering,
No sound, just
Flickering,
You smell nice, though,
Flickering,
Burning candlewax,
Flickering,
String through the middle,
Flickering,
Indulgent and comforting,
Flickering,
Hot and yet oddly cold,
Flickering,
Flickering,
Flickering.
I hope you liked this. I'm sorry it has been a while. In the words of Adele, "life got in the way".
Stay happy,
Katie
Mourning the Broken Glass | A poem
A crash that echoes through the house.
You stop, head full of thoughts, one
being what you do next, the rest a mixture of
anger, sadness and that feeling you get
when you do something and you know
you should have been more careful.
And although you broke it accidentally,
you will never get it back, that broken
figure that once stood before you. A part
of your life, cracked and bruised, like the
glass below you. You stand there
for a few more seconds, but it seems
like hours, knowing you should pay
your respects and
mourn the broken glass.
Stay happy,
Katie
Dear March
Dear March,
Although I have entered you in a bad shape, ill on the sofa eating chocolate and having endless cups of tea being brought to me, there is a different feeling in the air. It might just be the flood of water being poured out of the sky or the fact that the pavement is freezing with bare feet.
However, you are the start of spring and I look forward to the season ahead. Although it is packed with paper based questions and looking at computer screens for hours on end, I am looking forward to the end result. However, this month is full of things that I want to do as well. Adele at the O2, Music for Youth (which is on the boundary of me wanting to do it and me having to do it) and the Bath music festival, which I am looking forward to because it's a day off of school shopping and singing, what better way to spend a day?
So March, as your colours bloom into yellows and pinks, I hope my mood stays positive as you are a month of exciting things and although I am ill right now, I hope I improve and enjoy this month as much as I am set out to do!
Stay happy,
Katie xx
