I feel excited by the news that the US has now legalized same sex marriage. I feel like all around the world human kind is breaking barriers and I just cannot wait for Australia to join the change.
Of course amongst it all there has been negativity in the form of some very colourful (non rainbow) opinions and I just can’t help but get a bit suckered into defending myself and the rights of so many.
STOPPPPPP LAYNE! Okay I can feel myself getting passionate about this topic and if I get that ball rolling I just don’t know how far I’ll go and I just really don’t want to play into the negativity. Let’s celebrate what achievements have been made and look forward to the many more that in time will come, that’s right change is inevitable especially in the society we live in today. Today people are different, I think that people are getting tired of hiding who they are, tired of explaining, defending and apologizing for something that just shouldn't be an issue. I mean perspective people, is who someone chooses to marry really that god damn important that we need to spend so much time and effort on when we could be focusing on much more frightening things. Look around, are gay people tearing apart our universe? I mean yeah I rock the world with my girl but I guarantee I’m not causing any long term damage haha sorry brag moment, yep that’s me a cocky little shit. Anyhoooo…
I did read an article that put it so perfectly in a letter to the Australian Prime Minister. They explained that no one person should be ruling the country based on their own views and beliefs but for those of the people. Australia isn’t in a country where we are ruled by a dictator so why are our lives and rights being dictated to us? On one hand our government tells us that same sex relationships are wrong and that we don’t deserve the basic human right to marry the person we love. And then on the other hand our government wants to recognize our relationships when it means saving them money. I just don’t get it. I really struggle to see how someone can be so strong in their apparent beliefs but the moment there will be a financial gain they’re flexible. At least be consistent.
And there you have it, the ball got rolling…
Cao for now!

Okay here goes...
Hi everyone! So today I decided to create a blog. I don't know exactly what it's going to be about or if it's just going to be a collection of my thoughts, idea's and maybe a few random poems thrown in, but I guess that's the beauty of it. I know i'm not the greatest writer and that my grammar is basically non existent but I love writing and that's what matters AND lets not forget this thing has spell check haha win!
I guess i'll start off by saying a little about myself although i'm pretty sure i'm meant to be putting that in the about me section but i don't mind the double up plus here i can get a little more detailed. If you want just the brief then skip this part and just hit the link, save yourself!
Soooo,...... My name is Layne not Layneypoo just in case there was any confusion. Layneypoo is a childhood nickname that has somehow followed me and NO its not inspired by anything (I don't think it is anyway, mum?) lol. I am the youngest of 5 kids although i grew up with just the 4 of us. Growing up was a great adventure all i remember was climbing tree's riding bikes, playing sports and living at the beach. We had a modest life but our surroundings were amazing as i come from a small town on the coast where water is your life.
I now live in Melbourne and i have done since i moved out at 17. I came to Melbourne because i wanted to be a drop in the ocean, i wanted to meet people for the first time and not just remember them always being there. (small town thing) BUT there was another reason... I wanted to let myself free and not in the sense that i was trapped but in the sense that i was holding back a part of who i was.
It doesn't define me but it has had an awesomely positive and large impact on the person i am today. I love women and i guess i have always know it. Instead of having the boy crazy time of my life like most teenage girls do i just, well i didn't lets just say that lol. I'm sure throughout this blog will talk about this kind of thing further but i'll leave it at that for now as i don't want to make my introduction short and sweet.
Also questions are always welcome, my mum always said to me to never be shy to ask questions as how else do you learn? Curiosity is a good thing, just don't be the cat... Okay Peace!
