THE BEST PLACE IN THE WORLD


This is something I’ve been thinking about for a while but everyone seems to have different ideas. Personally here are a few of the places that I find most inspiring and make it in my top few best places in the world.


  •   Paris, France
  •    New York City, United States of America
  •  London, United Kingdom
  •  Rome, Italy
  •   Barcelona, Spain

Just to name a few. Having being luckily enough to have been to all of these places I’d like to share just why each of them could be the best place in the world.

Paris

This is a place that is very scenic. There are a number of amazing buildings and structures that people are dying to photograph such as The Eiffel Tower and The Palace of Versailles. The serene view from the top of the Eiffel Tower showed me not only the view of the city but also the variety of colours that I could see.
There were the grey roofs of the houses which look so posh. According to (http://www.empower-yourself-with-color-psychology.com) this colour creates calm and steady sense in a chaotic world which is very appropriate in this busy city.
Another colour that I realized was very prominent in Paris was green. Green I found was a sense of balance and harmony which is appropriate since it calms the city’s inhabitants down and makes them more likely to live a friendly life.

New York City

Almost everyone knows about the New York Skyline because it’s so spectacular but what some people don’t know is that according to (http://www.timeout.com) this is the very place that toilet paper, Scrabble, gelatine and the air-conditioner were developed.
So moving onto the colours we can think about here I’ve picked yellow and black. The yellow because of the famous taxis there and the black for the darkness because we all know that if we didn’t have the darkness of the shadows or the night the famous Skyline would not be the same.
The really cool thing about the colour yellow is that it inspires new ideas which links to the inventions that I’ve already mentioned. It’s funny how such simple things like colours affect us subconsciously.
After a bit of research I learnt that black is not just a colour that is mysterious but also one that shows power and authority.

London


Many people love London, so many that this city was given the title of The World’s Best City. When I first heard this I couldn’t help but wonder why they had gotten it though in the end I realized some important facts. First of all like Paris, London has magical gardens which are places you can relax or exercise. This is also the place with the Big Ben, The London Eye, Buckingham Palace and Westminster Abby. For those people who are having getting trouble getting around there are the busses, tubes, taxis and even bicycles.
As for the colours I think gold is pretty prominent so I’ve found out a few facts about this colour. Gold is the colour of success, achievement and triumph. All three things show the Londoners pride in their city and so are easily found if you go to the right places.
Next would be red. This colour is the first in my mind when I think of London because of the famous buses. In case you didn’t know red is the colour that can give you confidence and make you determined and ready to take action.

Rome

This is a city filled with history and the lovely smells of Italian food. If you haven’t been there I suggest you go to the following places. The Colosseum, the Trevi Fountain and the Panthenon. When you get peckish you should definitely grab a pizza and enjoy a gelato.
The colour that I think is important to Rome is brown. Don’t doubt me before I explain.
Brown is a colour that is solid with strength and maturity. As all of the historic buildings have been able to stay in such perfect condition without falling over we know that they are strong and thus possess strength. These buildings and all of the other parts of Ancient Rome have been there for years and thus are mature.

Barcelona

The first thing that appears in my mind when I think about Barcelona is the Magic Fountains that we watched one night. If you haven’t yet seen them then it’s a reason for you to book your flight immediately. But this amazing city is not just loved for that but rather many, many reasons such as the lovely markets, the warm ocean water, the artwork as well as the Churches and statues.
Personally I think the colour that best suits this Spanish city is orange. Even though this place isn’t flooded with orange it seems to be the colour that catches the city’s warmth and happiness. When I remember my holiday in this country I know that it was a place that was filled with spontaneity as well as the seeking of an adventure.

All this cities have great personality and taught me that beauty reveals itself in so many different ways.

A little story

For this week's post I want to do something a bit different. I want to tell you something that will hopefully give you the faith to follow your own dreams:

There was once a girl who loved to read. Even though she went to school and still did sport she would squeeze in a few pages when ever she could. One day that little girl was asked what she wanted to do when she was older and she replied that she wanted to be a person who told stories for other people to read.
Right then at the age of 9 she began to write. She would write about fairies, her friends and anything else that inspired her. Her family, friends and teachers encouraged her to share her ideas with the world though no one ever thought that much would come from her words.
In the six years to come she spent more and more time writing, perfecting her talent. Along the way she faced many obstacles and got knocked down more than once, still she got back up again even more determined to show the world what she could do.
After many hours of work that little girl shocked those who had doubted her and reached her dream in publishing a book for any child to read.

For those of you who are chasing your dreams I hope you believe that you can do anything because as long as you are willing and determined you are unbeatable.

For those of you who have given up your dreams I hope this story helped you to re-ignite it because the story is true. Anything is possible. I should know, because that little girl is me <3.

"Time Escapes Me"

For those of you who have read my ‘About Me’ page on my blog or know me personally, you’ll know that I’m a teenager who does some creative things, such as blogging for Nikela, writing books and fanfics as well as other outside of school things.
When I’m doing all of these things on top of my schoolwork “Time Escapes Me”, but all of these things are what I love doing and as a result they shape the person I am today.
The main reason I manage to get through all of it is because I have an amazing family, really awesome friends as well as my super supportive fans.

I know this was a short blog today but I thought it was cute since “Time Escapes Me” is the name of the fanfics that I wrote about One Direction (for those of you who are fashionistas you can even check out the fashion links to see what Kayla is wearing thanks to Celine Cooper).
