avicii, avicii everywhere.

HOLA CHICAS!                                        

How goes it? Are we all good? Hope life has been treating you well and you're living it large (the best way to do it..am I right or am I right?) I hope y'all had a splendid weekend and did something super-fabulous to make the most of the last few days we have left of the beautiful month that is Ocotber. I've personally had a very busy past few days. With exams coming up towards the end of this week, a mountain of laundry that won't do itself as well as a room that needed a good clean, well i'm sure you can imagine where my time has been going, right? I did, however, clear a space amongst the madness in order to write something for you all - how could I not?! I find writing to be a very soothing and relaxing end to what can often be a hectic day. Y'all should try it if you don't already do so, it's great for relieving stress, putting your feelings into words and not to mention, it's just great fun!

Ninety-nine per cent of the time when I sit down to write a blog entry, i'm bursting full of ideas and cannot get them onto paper quick enough - be it from an encounter i've had over the past few days, a memory, a song that i'm liking at present or whatever. However, it seems that tonight it was quite the opposite. 

When I sat down to write this post to you all, I must say that I actually struggled in terms of what to include - with the highlight of my last few days being the 'hint of rose' scent within my laundry along with the prettiness of my colour-coorindated note highlighting, it doesn't take a genius to work out why! I know what you're thinking..I need a serious life re-evaluation, and I for one, do not disagree! So anyway as I was saying, I was at odds with what I should talk to you all about tonight, however, turns out that my mental block all changed very quickly, which certainly proved to be for the better! 

You know those times when things are generally just quite dull? - be it down to stress, worry, tiredness, money issues, an argument with your BFF, catching the flu and what not and then suddenly, BOOM!..something amazing happens? Well that my little petals, was what happened to me tonight - and it's safe to say I could not be more pumped, ready and generally buzzing for March the 1st 2014, why you say? All in good time children, all in good time.  

So as many of you know, I love Avicii. No but like, I really do. I love Avicii! It's safe to say it's is a love that has also strengthened since arriving here in the beautiful Stockholm - I think it's because he's from here. Makes sense I guess? I can't help but feel immensely proud of the fact that i'm spending a year in the hometown of the musical genius himself. 

Avicii is huge (naturally) in Stockholm, due to being born here himself. It's hardly surprising that the Swedes are incredibly proud of the fact that he's from their capital! Why not though, right? He's an utter legend who's produced some of the best DJ records in history - why not celebrate it?!

I literally cannot put into words how much of a god I think this man is - his musical ability, uniqueness, general presence and so much more. When his songs (especially 'wake me up') come on shuffle and i'm walking to uni in the morning, nothing makes the 7am wake up and two-hour seminar ahead seem more worthwhile! It's a genuine motivator for a positive day ahead. Now with me being the type of person that I am, well, it's safe to say some dance moves are broke out in all-too public places which should definitely be kept behind closed doors! But what you gonna do? Can't blame a guy for trying, right? That's enthusiasm for ya! No but for real, nothing puts a bounce in my step like an unscheduled dance party on the way to uni. You may come to look mentally challenged bopping along the street in hardcore dance mode, but who cares because you'll feel just fabulous!

I could literally write a book about how much I love Avicii and his music - (not to mention his looks that could blind a blind woman crossing the street and piercing eyes that could dazzle just about anything...but hey, that's those Swedes for you, killer charm and killer good looks!) Damn them all people, damn them all.

So, my point? Well, it's a simple one really. I AM GOING TO SEE AVICII LIVE IN STOCKHOLM IN MARCH NEXT YEAR!!! I think i'm just a tad excited, not that it's obvious or anything. After the depression of missing the ticket sales for February the 28th, another date for March the 1st was added, enabling me and one of my Swedish BFF's to get a hold of those bad boys we so longed for! Lucky or what? DAMN RIGHT! I couldn't not share my excitement with you all on hearing the news...it's safe to say that the birthday month in 2014 is gonna be kickstarted in the best way possible! Bring it on. 

As I sit here writing this to you all, as well as getting excited for March already, I can't help but feel blessed. Here is yet another amazing opportunity i've been given the privilege to be able to attend. It's going to be mind-blowing. Affirmative. 

So, moral of the story guys, even in the darkest times, (like exam revision), good things can happen - and they do!

What's that infamous Harry Potter quote again?..

"Happiness can be found, even in the darkest of times. If one only remembers to turn on the light."

Keep safe, stay positive, work hard and turn on the light guys.

Until next time, speak soon.

PS - can you now see why i'm excited?
