Wow!! One whole week out of touch! I was starting to feel like I was on some deserted island. My list below:

“Parting is such sweet sorrow”. Puhleeese!! Saying goodbye is always hard (unless there was never any good, in which case it is more of a ‘good riddance’). I have said my share of goodbyes, to teachers, schools, friends, family, boyfriends, hopes, dreams. It never gets any easier.

I’m posting tonight because I don’t know how much time I will have tomorrow morning. Now before you go thinking this is a goodbye to my friends, family or even pan, let me just interrupt. Those are all people I will find here when I come back in a few months time (all being well). To them this is more of a ’see you soon’. I will miss you all!! (more…)

• A really good first kiss
• Turning on the radio just in time to hear the start of a great song
• That “cozy spot” on your bed
• Getting a hug from a child
• Reading a good book from start to finish in one sitting
• An extremely cold grape soda
• Catching a friend online because 4am your time is 12 noon their time (Love you Rana!!)

Here’s another one to inspire some more thought:

accept me for what I am
appreciate me as myself
i am not perfect
it doesn’t worry me
i have many failings
but i am unique
a one-of-a-kind me
and that is something to be proud of
i can change
let me do the changing though
for i will be responsible
for the mistakes i make
and the accomplishments i achieve
i want to be the way i am
that is my decision
and if you can’t see that
then don’t blind me
with what YOU THINK i should be
for i am me and nothing else

I am tired of trying
To figure out how to be,
What to say,
The right way to look
And act,
To make everyone
Satisfied with me.

I want to be
What I am
Before I can’t
Find myself anymore.
