Here are a few unfinished and some finished pages of my journal from the last few days of 2014, they are mainly just drawings and sketches but there are also declarations of love and sad words. As I write this I am sat with MTV Rocks on in the background with a whole bunch of my favourite songs coming on, that is my idea of success... I think maybe just maybe I am going to continue this journal thing in 2015. I left last year with a kiss and I entered 2015 the same way, I pour a lot of myself into the page of the journals I have kept, in ink or layers of pencil and whatever else I have to hand. Sometimes the pages are hopeful and other times they are melancholy.

"I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen" - Fifteen by Taylor Swift
I still don't know who I am meant to be in this life, I have so many ideas that run at full speed through my head in the hope that some day I will catch one and run with it. But until then I shall wander through the gardens of old houses and write scruffy words and weird meaningless drawing on lined paper.
Maybe it was the way I was brought up or the number of times I read the Narnia collection that influenced my love of old houses and their formal gardens. There is something magical about them, that makes me feel like I am living in a fairytale or I should be swanning around in Downton Abbey style dresses...
An open door to the not so secret garden...
Pages from the last couple of days in my journal, some days it is 4 or 5 pages of solid writing and then other days I draw and write. I get the majority of my inspiration for this blog from my journal so I guess my blog is the best bits of my ideas that I scrawl in black ink and watercolours.
XO, Miriam
