UNI, 23 and plans.


"Because, if I was gunna go somewhere, I'd be there by now,
And maybe I can let myself down, ohh.

And thinking that I'm unaware, I keep my feet on the ground, keep looking around, to make sure I'm not, the only one to feel low,
Because if you want, I'll take you in my arms and keep you sheltered, from all that I've done wrong,
And I know you'll say, that I'm the only one.
But I know that God made another one of me to love you better than I ever will."
- U.N.I, Ed Sheeran




One of the main things I got out of my trip to Tauranga a couple of weeks ago, was the appreciation for Ed Sheeran's "U.N.I". I'd always skipped that song on my ipod, never truly stopping to listen to the lyrics, or appreciate the changing quickness and slowness of the pace. We were in the car travelling back home from the airport in Auckland to home in Tauranga, and my sixteen-year-old nephew was listening to his ipod. 
"What's your fave Ed Sheeran song?" he asked.
"Um. Probably Give Me Love."
"I love U.N.I."
"What's that?" I honestly had no clue. I always thought it was pronounced "Uni". Awks.
He put one of the headphones in my ears, and we both just sat in silence listening to it, and then the rest of +. It was great. I was happy, you know those moments where you get that happy feeling in your tummy.
I get that feeling a lot. 

Life is good.
It's my birthday tomorrow! I am 23. Vingt trois. Old! I'm making a playlist/cleaning my room for my birthday party on Saturday as we speak.
On the agenda - my birthday tomorrow, then Wearable Arts on Thursday, party on Saturday. Pretty excite.
