Hamburg

Hi everyone :)

The last 2 days have been great so far. Granted the weather was pretty s*** yesterday but today was the direct opposite.

Today was also the day we were going to see the musical Phantom of the Opera by Andrew Llyod Webber and it was as brilliant as I remembered it. 

We went for a lovely lunch beforehand and headed over to the theater. It was a sold out show and I can tell you it deserved every person that was there to watch it.

I had goosebumps throughout the whole show that is how good it was. If you every get the chance to see it please do yourself a favor and do it.

I absolutely love it, the music, the story and the singers were outstanding.

Makes me miss my lessons, I might actually take those up again, I got really inspired by the show.

We also ate a lot these past 2 days :D The blog post about that will be good and make your mouths water. 

Tomorrow we will leave reasonably early because we have a long train journey ahead of us :)

Talk to all of you lovely people tomorrow :)

The Weekend ahead

Hi everyone :)

I am away on a little trip this weekend which was a birthday present from my dad.

We are on our way to Hamburg right now and are hoping for a great weekend.

But not only did I get this trip but I also got musical tickets for Phantom of the Opera. It is my favourite musical and me and my dad have actually seen it before. 

Now is the first time after they discontinued it that they have picked it up again. 

For us there really was no way around going again since we have both develloped a little obsession with it.

It went as far as us following gigs from the guy that sang the Phantom all over Germany. We went to a Andrew Loyd Webber tribute concert at New years 2011 and it was amazing. 

So for my birthday last year I got given this trip and we have finally managed to make time for it. 

What I am trying to do this weekend is obviously make a Hamburg post maybe on Saturday night or Wednesday the latest and I am trying to do like a OOTD post maybe on Sunday with all the outfits I wore this weekend. 

I am really depending on the cooperation of the weather though. If it's shit I am very likely to buy new clothes because what I brought is most definitely going to be to light :)

We will see.

As of right now we still have 2 hours train ride ahead of us and I am really looking forward to this weekend :)

My dad and I haven't done one of these city trips in 3 years. I am quite excited for this one since I have also never been to Hamburg.

So we have safely arrived by now and had a little wander around, I already am a little bit in love with this city. Even though the weather is a bit s*** :D

More about the city and all the stuff we are getting up to tomorrow :)

This is how far we had to travel by the way:

I have marked Augsburg and Hamburg with a black circle each :)

A Chat with Me

Hi everyone :)

For quite a while now I have been wondering what it would be like to meet my 17 year old self. What would I say to younger me what kind of questions would younger me maybe have?

I have called younger me Yesterday and present day me Tomorrow so you can tell which is which.

Here goes nothing:

Yesterday is sitting in her favourite spot, it is quite there, almost like you could here the leaves fall from the trees. A stream is slowly murmuring it's way through the forest and a peaceful silence lies over it all. 

Yesterday came here alone, to get her head clear and try to sort somethings out, but now someone is taking a seat right next to her, on the small space that is left on the stub. 

This person is just a s quiet as she is, they aren't saying anything just sitting there and looking out over the clearing in front of them. 

Yesterday doesn't feel disturbed, if anything sitting here has just become more liberating then it was before. 

But who is this person that just came here and decided to take part in her well deserved loneliness.

Yesterday looks up and right and gets even more confused, because this is her. It is her sitting next to her and at the same time it is not. Just as she is about to say something this other her turns their head and looks down at her with the same brown green eyes that she finds so uninterestingly dull.

T: I am Tomorow. Nice to meet you.

Y: You are me.

T: Not correct, I used to be you.

Yesterday doesn't know what to say, she doesn't think she likes this Tomorrow person. So instead of saying anything else, she looks down at her feet.

T: Don't you think that this might not be the right time to stare at your feet?

Y: What do you want with me? 

T: I just want to talk. Maybe help you out? 

Y: I don't need your help.

Tomorrow laughs, it is decided Yesterday definitely doesn't like this person. This person that seems so sure about themself, this person that just pops up out of nowhere and isn't anything like Yesterday expects herself to be in 10 years. Or how old is Tomorrow anyway?

Y: How old are you?

T: Not important!

Y: But...

T: You can ask me whatever you want and the first thing you come up with is: How old are you?

Yesterday looks down at her feet again and starts playing with the hem of her T-shirt, she doesn't know what else to do. She doesn't know this person, although she claims to have once been just like Yesterday. It isn't easy to talk to strangers, Yesterday has never been good at it, she doesn't feel comfortable enough. She doesn't know what they expect from her, it is just hard to do!

T: Okay this is going nowhere. I had actually forgotten that it was this hard at 17, so I will start, that okay?

Yesterday just nods.

T: So: Hi I am Tomorrow. You will be me in a couple of years and I am here to offer some advice if you want it and to tell you that no matter how bad things might look right now, or how out of place you feel, you will get there.

Y: You sound like you have it all figured out!

Yesterday doesn't look up but at least she stops to nervously fiddle with her clothes.

T: Oh I am far from that, love. I might just be a lot happier than you are right now.

Y: So what advice could you give me than? If I still don't know what I want to do with myself in 10 years what's the point of it all?

T: I am offended. You really think I am 27? 

Tomorrow raises her eyebrows at the younger girl and looks disturbed but in a teasing way. Yesterday doesn't know how to do that. She knows that emotion on the older's face she just doesn't feel confident enough to use it. It's one of her stage faces, one of those that Yesterday only gets to use when she is trying to be someone else. 

So she looks at this older version of herself closely for the first time.

She is beautiful that's what she notices first. Her hair doesn't have this boring grayish colour anymore but is a full chocolate brown that reflects the sunlight. And she dresses a lot differently, although Yesterday thinks, it probably isn't that different, it just is how she would dress, if she actually were brave enough. 

T: You are awfully quiet. Is there really nothing you would want to say?

Y: I don't know. You seem so.... you look like you are okay. You look like I am going to be okay.

T: Yeah, I guess I am, aren't I? There are things in your life at the moment that seem like a lot to take on but believe me when I say you will come out stronger.

Y: That sounds really cheesy.

T: Yeah, right? See we aren't that distinct. 

Y: Oh but we are, I am nowhere near you on a scale from one to 10.

She laughs again, and even her laugh is different. It is the kind of laugh that makes you want to join because it sounds so carefree, so liberating.

T: That has always been our problem though, you have to stop comparing yourself to others.

Y: I am not.

T: You have just told me that I am better than you sweetheart, you seem to be forgetting that I am you. 

Y: I just don't know. I came here to figure out what to do about all the crazy that is going on.

T: Oh I know exactly why you came here. 

Y: Yeah been there done that, I get it. You are still not helping me.

Yesterday looks up to Tomorrow for the first time since they started this weird chat and is met with a caring expression on the others face. 

Tomorrow reaches her hand out and tucks an escaped strand of hair back behind Yesterdays ear.

T: Listen, I am not here to lecture you, but did you really think sleeping with the brother of the guy you are in love with was a great idea?

Y: Probably not?

Tomorrow just shakes her head and pulls Yesterday in for a sideways hug. It is comforting, and finally someone has said what Yesterday has been asking herself this whole time.

Y: I don't even know why I did it. 

T: I am quite a bit older than you and I can tell you I don't either. But, I can tell you waiting would have been absolutely worth it. 

Y: What do you mean? Are you trying to tell me that had I waited I would have had my first time with the guy I have been in love with for 2 years now?

T: Not what I was saying! I just told you waiting would have been worth it.

Y: Will I ever be with M.?

T: I am not sure if I should tell you that.

Y: That is not a no!

Yesterday was getting excited, what if this older version of herself was with M. right now? What if there really was a happy ending to this story? She freed herself from the hug she was still in and looked at Tomorrow expectedly.

T: It wasn't a no Yesterday, but it wasn't a yes either. 

Y: Oh common, don't be so mysterious. 

T: (sighs) I am not with him where I am from, but he is still you best friend, if that helps.

Y: Will I still love him?

T: I think we always will love. Even if we never get to be with him.

Y: That sounds very depressing.

She looks down at her feet again, while Tomorrow lets her eyes roam over the forest.

T: I promise you, even though you might not believe it know, you will love other people. Great people. People who are kind to you and treat you like the center of their universe. There is an amazing guy waiting for you out there.

Y: Mhm....

T: (smiling) Oh please don't be like that. If it makes you feel any better he will admit that he loves you as well.

Y: That didn't help at all.

But at least Yesterday laughs at that.

Y: Will I make friends in school next year?

T: You already have friends there, just not the ones that you think you need. 

Y: And what about the whole... you know!

T: That will make you who I am now. And you don't need these people, trust me!

There is silence again, but it's not heavy or uncomfortable, it's just there to process everything. 

Y: What if I want to be friends with these people. What do I have to do.

T: Nothing!

Y: But they don't like me, so what do I do?

T: See that is what you don't get: If someone doesn't like you than they don't, there is nothing you can do to change that. And you don't have to either.

Y: And if I...

Tomorrow turns very abruptly towards Yesterday.

T: NO! Listen love, if someone doesn't like you for who you are then don't bother with them. You are a great person if you let yourself be who you are.

Y: You say that like it is that easy!

T: (grabbing Yesterday's shoulders) Oh but it is love! You are so wonderful and beautiful and creative, you just have to start seeing that.

Y: I am nothing if boring. 

Tomorrow hugs her tight at that and Yesterday might cry a little, because no one has ever said something like that to her.

T: Mum might criticize you a lot love but she only does it to help you. Nan only wants what's best for you as well and the only thing that is really holding you back is that stupid voice in your head that keeps telling you to put others first. 

The younger one is full out sobbing now.

T: You are important as well. It is okay to do things just for selfish reasons once in a while. That doesn't make you a bad person.

Y: I just want them to like me.

T: I know love. We are to sensitive for fights.

Y: You aren't!

Tomorrow kisses the top of Yesterdays head and holds her at an arms length so she can look her in the eyes.

T: Some things might change but that never does. I am just better at hiding it.

There is a small smile playing on Yesterday's lips now.

Y: So you are saying I don't have to change that?

T: No, the only thing you will learn is to deal with it better. Believe me you will get really good at telling when someones anger is directed at you and when they are just angry about life and use you as an outlet.

Y: Both of those don't sound nice to me.

Yesterday rubs her face with her hands to clean away the tears and smiles shyly at her older self.

T: You see, my life is far from perfect, and I still don't know what I want to do with it in the long run but I know this: If you are happy, you will be a lot better at making others happy. 

Y: That actually makes sense. So what do I do now?

T: Make loads more mistakes because that is the only way you can learn and don't be afraid to make them.

They both fall into silence again after that and when Yesterday looks to the right again to thank her companion, she is gone.

feelunique.com

Hi everyone :)

Today's blog post is about introducing you to a website that I have recently discovered that might be of use for some of you.

feelunique.com is a website where you can buy beauty products from all kinds of brand. Pretty much everything you can think of.

The great thing about this website however is that you can choose the country you live in and that they ship everywhere. 

So there is no limitation to country for some products anymore.

I myself was not really able to get Real Techniques brushes before without having to pay an awful lot for shipping.

But now I can get them easily and without much of hassle. Same goes for the products that Tanya Burr has recently launched. They are amazing might I add, definitely worth getting.

So if you have always wanted a certain kind of product but weren't able to get it so far because they either don't ship it to your country or you aren't able to buy it in some kind of store, definitely try feelunique.com next time.

feelunique.com

I haven't had any problems with them yet and you do get your stuff really fast :)

Love them!

Musical Monday

Hi everyone :)

Some new MUUUUUUUSIC :)

Can you tell that I am excited for this? Probably not right?

Okay lets get on with this :

I am absolutely in love with this song, it is literally that good!

This one I just stumbled across and am already pleasantly surprised by it. I really really like it:

And what would we do without an old classic? I remember singing this song every time we had a karaoke party at my place. Me and my friend were obsessed with this song:

Enjoy your week everyone :)

Bullying Tag 2

Hi everyone :)

I wrote a blog post on Thursday that was very dear to my heart and actually took a lot of courage on my part to even publish. If you haven't read it yet, this won't make much sense so here is a link.

Since I uploaded this post 2 days ago I have felt really relieved like I had gained some sort of closure from it. And I really think I did, getting it out there and more importantly finally getting it of my chest felt amazing. 

I have never really talked with anyone about it before because I am not that kind of person, like I said, I don't trust people easily, you have to really work hard to earn that kind of trust with me. So doing this kind of anonymously over the internet has been the best way to go about it for me. and also added the fact that I am far better with words when I am writing them down than I am with articulating them. 

Don't know exactly when that became a thing since I am fairly certain it has always been that way, even when I was younger I used to write my parents letters announcing things I was unhappy about. 

But back in topic here: So since I have posted this blog post I have had such a great responding to it. So many people have sent me messages saying that something similar happened to them or that they are so happy that they got the chance to meet the person that has come out of such a horrible situation. One person eve said that they were happy I could come out so much stronger as they admired that part of me. 

I also talked to people who knew me before that all happened and this might yet be the strangest response I had to this post but they said that I am far happier now than I was before.

I would never say that I am glad it happened because I don't wish that to anyone not even to my biggest enemy let alone my younger self. But I have grown to accept that being bullied was what made me who I am today and I am grateful for that. 

I am a very happy person now, I am confident enough to stand up for myself and for others and I don't know I was like that if I wouldn't have been challenged in this way.

Still no fan of bullying and I still am convinced that we really need to do something against it but I guess what I am trying to say with this is firstly: Thank you for the great response. For all the lovely messages and comments I have gotten even if it was just to say: Wow I couldn't do that. And secondly I am trying to show all of you who it might happen to now: You will get through and you will come out of it so much stronger if you don't give up. Stand up for yourself you are worth it. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

This is also the reason I didn't blog yesterday cause I wasn't ready for a response yet. I was still trying to figure out how to react to the reaction I had gotten.

But I am happy with this post now and will actually upload it :D

Be nice to people everyone, because all of you deserve to be treated nicely as well!

Bullying

Hi everyone :)

As it is Thursday and I try to have some stories from when I was younger on here I thought why not try it with something that is also quite serious.

As the title of this post already says: Today's post is going to be about bullying.

I feel like it happens to a lot of people for various reason, most of them as small as not wearing the most fashionable clothes or not having the newest phone. 

The reason for me getting bullied was a little worse as it actually had something to do with my personality. 

I am in no way saying that people who get bullied for not having a lot of money have it better as any form of bullying is bad but I feel like kids who get bullied for who they are take a lot longer to recover. 

Because someone saying mean things to you because of your old cell phone actually doesn't have anything to do with you in the greater sense. It is about material stuff than about your personality and it is a lot easier to distance yourself from being criticized for money than it is from being criticized for your personality. Although both things are equally as horrible from the people who do it and absolutely unnecessary. 

I have experienced both as I used to wear hand-me-downs from cousins and family friends when I was a kid. I didn't really care but one girl in my grade did. That was in primary school and I didn't really get it back then as I had enough friends who were the same and so we just weren't friends with her. It didn't affect me as much I don't think. I still wore hand-me-downs when I went to grammar school and never really thought about it twice as the people who I was friends with didn't seem to mind, and there were people with a lot more worn out clothes than me.

But starting 10th grade things started getting a little rough for me. I don't remember it all to clearly, that whole year is sort of a blur for me as I am quite good with blocking bad memories out. I guess it was sort of a defense mechanism. I do remember how I felt about it very clearly though and I never want to feel that small again.

Basically what happened is that we had one girl in my class that everyone liked simply because if you didn't you were f*****. She talked about her friends behind their back and generally wasn't a very nice person. I used to be quite good friends with her but than I had a boyfriend and after we broke up he told her about all the things we had and hadn't done (sex wise). It felt like the biggest violation of my privacy when everyone started asking me about these things and I knew she had told them. All of them were making fun of me for not sleeping with him, I was 15 and not ready but none seemed to care. I was embarrassed and felt cheated on in the most terrible way and I made that known. I told her that I wasn't okay with her telling everyone about my private things which only made it worse, as she soon started to make all the things I had told her in confidence known as well. 

I didn't have a very strong personality back than and was very insecure about the way I looked. 

In addition to that I also wasn't a very sociable person and only kept a view close friends, because I always liked having a view good ones than a dozen that didn't really care about me.

But soon even those view didn't talk to me anymore in fear of getting bullied by her as well. I could absolutely understand it but it hurt even more to endure her mean comments alone. For about half the school year I sat alone, ate alone during the smaller breaks and walked to classes alone. I only really had friend left in the grade above mine but they couldn't really help. All that was left fro them was trying to make the bigger breaks as fun as possible so I could forget about all the other stuff for at least 20 minutes.

I felt like I total outsider and alone. Going to school soon became a nightmare as I had to endure her snarky comments even during class. I had been pretty good in everything regarding literature and poems but whenever I answered one of the teachers questions right I would get a mean comment, whispered but made sure I would hear it. 

She was very adamant in her quest of making me feel miserable about myself. She was a right brat, but without anyone that could help me stand up to her, all that was left for me to do was just make myself small and hope she would leave me alone.

10th grade ended eventually and I spent a summer break away from all this mess at school. I didn't recover however and I didn't really enjoy the break either as I knew there was another year of school that I would have to go through alone most likely. 1 more year of being her punching bag until I would most likely not share a class with her anymore as my subject interests for my A levels were much different from hers. 

Against everything I believe however, she seemed to have forgotten about me over the break. 11th grade started and I was invisible. I still had no friends or close to none but I was left alone. 

What she had ruined for me though was a lot more then being left alone could fix. For the rest of my time in school I questioned if people who I was friends with actually liked me or if they were just pretending to do so. I began wanting to please people and forgot to take care of my own happiness, just because I wanted to keep the view friend I had made so badly, that I would do everything for them. They didn't know that that's what I was doing they thought that's just who I am but if I am being honest I wasn't myself till I got out of school. Hell I am pretty convinced I still wouldn't be myself had I not gotten away from it all and gone to New Zealand.

New Zealand was the place that healed me. I started coming out of my shell and for the first time had people who liked me for me. 

I didn't have to pretend to be someone I am not as those people I met there didn't know who I was. They had no expectations towards me and I was finally able to be free.

Being away from it all for one year taught me that me being happy is most essential to making other people happy. That me being myself and standing up for myself doesn't mean that people will like me any less. I have made so many more honest friends down there in a year then I have made in my whole life. I am friends with 2 people I went to school with and that is literally it. 2 people out of over 100 people that were in my grade. 

Being who I am and getting shown that I could be loved and liked for who I am was the most important lesson I learned in my life so far. And I had to wait till I was almost 20 to experience it.

I don't think anyone should have to wait that long to figure out that being who you are is essentially all you need to make yourself happy, it all starts there. Loving yourself and being confident enough to stand up for yourself is so so so important and yet 1000 of kids get bullied into believing they are not okay the way they are.

Who gave you bullies the right to downgrade people like that?

So if you see someone getting bullied you doN#t even have to necessarily step in and say stop if you don't think you are brave enough for that. I can tell you from experience that being a friend for someone who goes through bullying might even be more important. 

It would have made my life so much easier if one person had stood up for me. One person is really all it takes. And it is a hell of lot easier to brush nasty comments off if you have someone who is standing behind you and who supports you. 

I felt like I was falling and falling and falling and there was no one there to help. One person to catch you is all you need really.

And if you, who is reading this, are getting bullied all I can tell you is : It will get better. It will end and you will get out of there. Surround yourself with people who pick you up and sustain you. It will not be over and you won't be fine straight away but you will have someone to fall back on. 

Never try to make it on your own!

First Kiss

Hi everyone :)

Hello to all you lovely people out there. Have you missed me? I sure have missed this. It has been a little over a week since my operation and although I might not be completely healed yet or pain free for that matter I am getting there. And I am finally able to concentrate on things for a longer time again.

I have felt like being stuck in some kind of foggy state of mind for the past week which is a really weird feeling. But we are going to be back on schedule from now on :)

For today it is all about first kisses. Interesting thing might I add, at least I think so.

Kissing someone for the first time is always incredibly exciting, wether you think you might be falling for them or it is just a casual hook up.

There is this rush of adrenalin that you feel right before it happens that moment where you are not sure if it is really going to happen until the other person leans in as well.

It makes us feel somehow nervous and then when it happens completely at ease. The feeling when your lips meet for the first time is exciting and at the same time a bit frightening, as we start to wonder what will come of it right after it occurred. And we start to think about the next time it will happen.

Generally the person we are about to kiss is someone who we have talked to quite a bit and fell we have some sort of connection with, that might in some cases just be sexual attraction.

What would we do and how would we kiss if we had to kiss a total stranger? A person we had not seen before or talked to before we were about to kiss.

I have no idea how I would react to a total stranger that I had to kiss. I find the idea pretty weird but at the same time very interesting. Do we react differently? Does everyone react the same?

Tatia Pilieava was as curios about this as I am, she got 20 strangers to kiss each other and filmed it. It was awkwardly brilliant. I felt like a little spy invading that moment but it was very very interesting.

I would love to know how the video makes you feel :)

Karlsruhe Zoo

Hi everyone :)

I reconnected with my childish side today and went to the zoo with my boyfriend. I haven’t been to this particular zoo since I was maybe about 11 ish or something. It definitely was quite a while ago, but since it was such a gorgeous day today and we wanted to spend as much of it outside as we could, going to the zoo seemed like a great idea. 

And it was.

I have enjoyed this possibly as much as when I was a child, maybe even more :D

The great thing about going to the zoo when you are an adult is that you can go wherever you want to without having to ask your parents. 

And you can buy all the food you want yourself and don’t need an adults consent anymore. It’s brilliant really :D

me and T. 

I remember this waffle stand from when I was little, that same stand has literally been there for more than 17 years and what they sell there hasn’t changed since the last time I went.

So naturally we had to buy waffles, how could you not. I had the children’s waffle with chocolate sauce and smarties (best combination ever) and my boyfriend T. had one with white chocolate.

Do you know that moment where you try something that you remember from when you were little and you are afraid of ruining the memory because it might not be as good anymore? Well today was not such a moment, these waffles were as good as I had remembered, they made us very happy bunnies :)

The zoo in Karlsruhe isn’t the biggest one but I love it more than bigger zoo’s I have been to simply because it’s the one I grew up with. 

I have loved this place since I was really little and my dad took us for the first time, ever since then we went as often as we could. Pretty much every time we were in Karlsruhe we talked our dad into going, even if it was just for an hour or two. 

Doing things again that you did last when you were really small is a amazing thing. I absolutely love doing it because everything seems so much smaller . I always thought the zoo in Karlsruhe was reasonably big but having been there today I realized it is actually quite small. Which is probably due to the fact that the last time I was there I was about 60 cm smaller :D

So next time you don’t know what to do on a gorgeous day maybe visiting your local zoo might be a good idea.

Getting Old(er) :D

Hi everyone :)

I am getting old or at least it seems that way.

Just recently I have taken up tutoring my bosses grandchildren and as it turns out I have no clue as to what is in anymore :D

Or so I have learned.

And 8 year olds are a lot different now from when I was 8.

Only thing that seems to be the same are the books they read and I realized how long it has been since I read on of those.

Take Goldilocks as an example. Great book and very artsy illustrated, I used to love it when I was younger but I haven’t touched that book since I was about 5 or something.

I am actually trying to find the copy we had at home, it is my mission for the next week I am spending at home.

So since I have rediscovered all these books I have been going absolutely nuts in the kids books section and have gone on a mad hunt to find all the ones I used to read when I was little. Or the ones that my parents read to me for that matter. I am not the biggest fan of these new really fancy kids books and am more of a fan of the classic older ones.

I am going to do it like my mum did! She kept all her old books that she loved and gave them to us when we were old enough to read them. 

Sadly my parents sold most of our old books or they were given to some cousins or something, so I am now trying to buy all the books I used to love so much as a kid so I can save them for my kids to read. 

Moral of the story: Don’t sell your favorite books every as they might go away and then all you are left with is telling others about it but they will never be able to enjoy it.

Musical Monday

Hi everyone :)

New week new music. How has everyone been? I hope everyone is well and ready for some new tunes or old ones that I have rediscovered for that matter :)

I mean I knew he could act but who knew he could sing like that?

Kinda wish colton Haynes did more of that :)

I am not really a fan of what she does right now but boy can that girl sing. It's a shame that most of her songs now don't show that anymore.

The next song is a absolute favourite of mine I hope you enjoy it as much as I do :)

Enjoy!

Cute gesture

Hi everyone :)

On the radio show I listen to every day at work they have this little sequence called web-world where they search the web for a cute, funny, sweet clip every day.

Last week it was about this old woman who lives in America and lives alone. She used to sit at her window everyday and waves at the students of a local high school who walk past. At first they all found it a bit weird but eventually they started waving back and since then it has become a tradition. The woman waves at them every single day and they wave back and have actually come to like it.

Now this year they wanted to do something special for this old lady and this happened:

It is amazing to see how much such a small gesture as a wave can mean to people.

And it also goes to show that Valentines day can not only be used to show the person you are with how much they are loved and cared for but also for things like this.

I don't think any of the students could have imagined how much this would mean to Tinney.
