This account is moving!!

1 min read
I have decided that it is time to move on from this old Deviant Art account, and create a more polished gallery with only the best of what I create. This account will mainly contain photography and handmade crafts.

Types of photographs will range from wildlife and captive animals as well as some landscapes and pets. 

As for handmade crafts, all things I crochet or cross stitch will be uploaded to this account.

While I will not be deleting this account (purely for my own personal reference), I will not be uploading here anymore.

So, if you think you might be interested in what I have to share on my new account, the link to it is here: novace.deviantart.com/

Making a difference

2 min read
I am completely elated right now, and I'm going to tell you why!!

nicknie121.deviantart.com/art/… See this picture I uploaded yesterday?! Well I also posted it to my facebook page here: www.facebook.com/ADOPTMEphotog….

So anyway, a wonderful lady saw my picture and decided this dog (Elle) was the one! Her and her husband went out to the shelter that same day and adopted beautiful Elle the Maremma Sheepdog, and now Elle has a home!!

Why does this make me feel so damn good? Because without that photo of Elle that I took and uploaded on my facebook page, this kind lady would never have seen it (the shelter didn't have a picture of her any at that time) and therefore, my photograph helping that dog get adopted!!

While I could not be certain that I was making a difference before, now I can finally say that what I am doing is helping give shelter animals a second chance, and you can't image how good that makes me feel!!
♥
So this little tiny moment in my life (all bit a huge one in Elle's) has just given me the motivation I needed to stick to photography and keeping moving forward on my journey. I'm so happy ♥♥♥

What lies in store

Watch meNote meJournal Instructions


So tomorrow is a pretty momentous occasion for me. I'll be finishing school, and while I'll still have to go back for exams, tomorrow we say farewell and officially finish all classes.

My entire life has lead up to this moment. I've been to six schools in total since preschool, and I've made some incredible memories in those places.
I've made friends I can't imagine living without, and decisions I can't believe I ever questioned. Everything I've learnt in my time at school is so precious to me, and the opportunities and experiences I've had through school will always be important to me.

I've always really appreciated my education. I never thought about dropping out, I always handed in my assignments on time and I always cared about my conduct in class, how I treated my teachers and how I presented my work. I learnt valuable life lessons I will never forget, and I will forever be grateful for my outstanding teachers who helped me on this journey in life.

While I have always cared about my education, it is not the only thing that made school so special to me. My friends are practically my world, and school bought us together, I cannot deny that. I don't believe I ever would have met these crazy wonderful people if it weren't for school, and that in itself is enough to make me love school. We've all created such perfect memories together, from the simple things like cooking in food tech, to the unforgettable experiences like turtle spotting at night on Heron Island. We've been by each others sides and we've grown and changed together. They've done so much for me and they wont ever know how much they really mean to me.

I could go on about my school time for hours, if not days, but I would find it too difficult to put into words. I'm going to finish school tomorrow, and that marvelous chapter of my life will close, and the pages to the next chapter will slowly flip open. I've no idea what's written on the rest of the pages of this biography, nor do I wish to find out in advanced. I'm still unsure of where I want to be in the future or what I want to do, but I am both equally petrified and thrilled to find out.

Good by school, thank you for everything!! I'll never forget how amazing my life has been through out my years of education ♥♥♥

So some amazingly spectacular anonymous donor gifted me premium membership!!!

I don't know who you are, and I assume anonymous means you wont come forward if I ask, but thank you so very much :) That's incredibly generous ♥

Gosh now I have a dorky grin on my face ^_^


In other news, I am TOTALLY stressing out over HSC and these last few assessment tasks before the term is over. I've been a procrastinating fool and left them till last minute, and I am most certainly paying the price. On the plus side, I'm really looking forward to all this school stuff being over because it means I can focus on working and making money and of coarse I will have more time for photography! ♥

Thanks for reading :3

What do I want?

2 min read
I usually don't approve of writing about personal stuff on here but this spiraling pit of depression I've found myself in is getting to me.

What do I want??

I want to go to the beach, I want t go camping, I want to go hiking, I want to take a bush walk where there is lots of wildlife, I want to go to Dolphin Marine Magic, I want to go to the butterfly house, I want to spend a day and/or night somewhere other than Grafton, I want to go somewhere beautiful that I've never been before and take photos, I want to go to Happy Paws every weekend of my life, I want to walk every day, I want to watch the sun rise and set on the same day at the beach, I want to sleep out under the stars with friends, I want to go canoeing or kayaking, I want to go whale watching, I want to go fishing, I want to bike ride somewhere, I want to road trip,I want to take photos WITH someone, I want to laugh so much I cry, I want to look back on the memories and feel the need to cry they were that great. I want to fill an entire photo album with our adventures. I want to have fun.

I know, look at Nicky, being selfish again!! As if everyone could just drop everything to make me happy. But that's not what I'm asking for. I just want to feel genuine happiness. Fake smiles are so tiring. And I know, we don't always get what we want, that's how it is, and I know that, but it doesn't make me want it any less.

So I'll just continue sitting here, waiting for school to end and a chance to live. Because that's all I can do right now. Wait and hope.
