Here we go again~
Just a little over a full year cycle since the first time I opened the eyes of this livejournal and I must say I am stilll slightly clueless on how this whole thing works XD I understand a bit more on what I can do and what having an account entails but I still do not know the ins and outs and courtesies of this world.. And to be honest, I just do not feel it is necessary to be that immersed in it. It is a wonderful outlet.. A glorious space to express when I need and to get my fill of creativity from others.. But there is just so much else going on and I end up neglecting this poor page.
Anyways, I diverge. On the eve of another year for me. After the blissful yet uneventful lull of summer holidays, it is time yet again to pack up my life, kiss my family and friends with a slightly heavy heart and wave goodbye for another long 9 months. 9 months is quite some time, as a friend pointed out, a baby could've been made in the time we spend away from our warm homes. Time to plunge this self into another whirlwind year. And I wouldn't have it any other way *smirks* I would only be so lucky to have another year like its predecessor.
The year before ended with such a bang and (not a little) alcohol and yes, tears as one by one, I watched my friends get into their respective cabs to the airport. Feelings that coursed through my heart both bitter and sweet as I realised that I was not alone in my joy and sadness as friends all said their last goodbyes before heading their separate ways. And the special notes that went out later outlining highlights of the year. In all the camarederie and the bonds that held us together, the knowledge that separation was brief and another year awaited us was liberating whilst easing the journey home. To be greeted by familiar faces from when I was a younger girl.. and I smile.. and I laugh.. and I feel at home again, tinged with slight anxiety to leave.
Leaving home is difficult.. but I know that so much awaits me on the other side. And so, on another eve of another year, I look onwards with a smirk and a wink.
