Hobbies I Would Like To Take Up

I feel as though all of my hobbies have been revolved around electronics, I mean, look at what I'm doing now. I love finding new hobbies but lately everything I have been doing has been online. I want to find some new hobbies that do not involve electronics. So here I am, I am going to tell you about some hobbies I would like to take up someday.

1. Reading - The last time I willing picked up a book must have been around 5 years ago. I used to love reading but now that I do so much of it for school I do not like it at all. I want to get into reading again. I really want to read books that could benefit my life, not just fuel my imagination.

2. Ukulele - I adore ukuleles, I always have. Music is so important to me and I would love to know how to play an instrument. The guitar is a little hard so I think the ukulele would be perfect.

3. Piano - The piano is also one of my favourite instruments. I learned a little bit of piano a few years back. I loved it and would love to get back into it.

4. Writing - Fun fact: I used to want to be a writer. I have a whole post up already on my love for writing and how I want to get back into it. I have always dreamt about having my own book, it is something I want to do within my lifetime.

5. Film/Photography - I have a nice camera and all I use it for it to make beauty videos. I love time lapses and cool shots. I don't know why I have never done this, but, I want to.

6. Painting and Drawing - I have always been a creative person, I haven't been doing many creative things lately though. I used to paint and draw all the time when I was younger, it was one of my favourite things to do. I want to get back into both of them eventually.

7. Baking - I couldn't even tell you the last time I baked. Actually I can, it was at thanksgiving. I have not baked very much within the past few years and I used to love it.

8. Running - I have never been a runner but I have always wanted to be. One day I hope to run a marathon, which sounds really crazy to me but I think it would be super cool. Plus running is good for you.

9. Yoga / Meditation - I used to be super into this but I have been so caught up with life lately that I haven't done either. It is great for the soul, mind, and body.

10. Diving - I love the ocean more than anything. Diving in it would be so amazing. Not to mention I would love to make a documentary about sharks one day.

So there you have it, some hobbies I would like to take up one day. I hope to one day get through this entire list.

Films That Have Inspired Me

Hey babes. I tend to watch a lot of movies, my favourite type of movies are ones that inspire me. So I decided that I am going to tell you films that have inspired me and why. I hope you go and watch the movies I recommend and find them inspiring as well.

 1. Sharkwater - Rob Stewart
This film changed my whole life. I can't really explain how much this movie and the director means to me in words. I've always loved animals and nature, this film just showed them to me in a new light. Sharks became my favourite animal, I found myself defending them frequently. I also found myself becoming more aware of nature and the effects humans have on this beauty we call earth. I would like to say that I am an activist for animals and an environmentalist but to truly be those I think I need to do more. This film inspires me to do more.

 2. Revolution- Rob Stewart
Basically anything Rob Stewart was apart of I love, unfortunately he passed away during a dive at the end of January/beginning of February. This filmed is like the non official sequel to Sharkwater. Sharkwater focused on sharks, this film looks at the earth. Unfortunately this film does not get as much recognition as it should.

 3. Blackfish
I think it's safe to say that this film has inspired many people, or at least enraged many. The way Seaworld treats their animals still baffles me to this day. I will never understand how someone can be so cruel to an innocent animal. I find myself checking up on Seaworld often, I will never understand how Seaworld still has customers. Like the past two films and the next one, this film inspires me to do something. It makes me want to dedicate my life to activism for animals and the earth.

 4. The Cove 
Obviously, I have a soft spot for animals. I learnt so much from this film (and the others). This film is about Japan and how they kill/capture Dolphins in a terrible way. It hurts my heart to watch films like this but awareness is power, knowledge is power. I hope one day I can do something for these poor animals.

 5. Lets Be Cops
I am aware that this sounds dumb but this film really inspired me. It inspired me to do what I want with my life. It showed me that if I want something I have to work for it. Although I already knew that somehow this comedy made it seem like such profound advice.

 6. Chasing Ice
Woah, this film is beautiful (as are the others). This film focuses on the environment and the melting glaciers. It is actually unbelievable how much our glaciers have melted, to be quite frank, it's disgusting. This film features some time-lapses which are one of my favourite types of filmography. I feel like a broken record, constantly saying that a film has inspired me want to do more and make a change; but that is exactly what this film has done.

 7. Snowden
More of a mainstream film, however, there is an incredible story told. In case you don't know, Snowden is based on a mans life. You don't see many people defying the government in this way. I didn't so much find the fact that information was leaked inspirational, I found the reason Snowden leaked the information inspirational. Snowden did what he truly believed, no matter the consequences, that within itself is immensely inspirational.

 8. Soul Surfer
I think this one is pretty self explanatory... Also, surfing is pretty fucking rad.

 9. The Wolf of Wall Street
I don't really know why I loved this movie so much but it inspired me so much to want to work on wall street which would not go well for me. I love Leo, his acting is impeccable.

 10. Dolphin Tale
I think I could just put the crying face emoji and everyone would understand. This is such a sweet story. I love how the main character was so young and made such a big change. Working in an aquarium like the one in the movie would be the ultimate dream. Not gonna lie, the sequel was pretty goddamn good too. This story is so inspirational.

I think that is enough for now, maybe one day I will make another post. I hope you babes go and check out these amazing films. ~ Kat

My Blog Details

Hey lovies. I feel as though I have never really addressed what this blog is, I've always just blogged whatever I felt like. My name is Kat, I'm in grade 12 currently and am starting at the beauty college CMU in September to become a makeup artist. I am a beauty youtuber, I upload on Wednesdays and Saturdays; not that anyone really watches.

I made this blog years ago when I wanted somewhere to write down my thoughts that I didn't want to make a video about. I'm not going to lie, I've forgotten about this blog for years.. I do love blogging and I want to get back into it. I decided today that I want to post on my blog frequently, hopefully I keep up with it. I really just blog anything, beauty, personal, poems, honestly whatever I want to talk about I will.

Thank you to the few of you who do read my blog, I hope you like the content I sometimes put out.

When I Grow Old - A Poem

When I grow old,

Will I be alone?

Will I be married?

Maybe ordinary?

Will I own a home?

Or will I roam?

Hopefully I'll be happy,

Possibly snappy.

I'll have a pet.

I hope I'm not in debt.

Will I be healthy?

I hope to be wealthy.

I won't know until then,

When I'm sitting in my den.

Looking at my old blog,

Reading all the monologues.

When I grow old,

My story will be told.

I wonder...

I often wonder if anyone ever comes across my blog and reads, or my YouTube and watches videos, maybe someone reads my tweets? I wonder if anyone cares about what I have to say. I wonder if anyone listens when I go on a tangent about politics, or when I ramble about my dreams and aspirations. Does anyone care to listen about the fascinating documentary I watched last night? What about the beautiful dog I seen today? When I ask if someone listens, I don't mean if they hear me; I mean if they care. Does anyone truly care about the thoughts that run through my brain? But I also wonder if I am alone. In some aspects I am, you are always alone to some extent. I'm coming to terms with that, I believe everyone should. You are the only person who truly cares about every little thought you have. I wonder if I will always care..
