"And may flights of angels sing thee to thy rest"
I love Hamlet. I think it's one of those plays that you either love or you hate, and it was exactly the sort of thing I'd hate. But hey, life's full of surprises.
Hung out with Inger, Ben and Ryan tonight...it was nice. It was chilled. They're genuinely awesome people, and in a place like Dubai it gets very difficult to find genuine people. The boys left after a couple of hours, something about buying a new guitar and sleep and other boy stuff. But it was cool, coz we finally got to just sit down and talk about what was on our minds...and I needed that so I'm glad we did. It's very reassuring having a friend like her, she actually knows what's going on. While we were reminiscing about the good old days she reminded me of when I was younger and crazier and I'd just decide that I wanted to meet new people and make new friends so I'd literally go up to random people and talk to them and they'd end up becoming good friends of mine...she said she was always jealous of my ability to do that. That was surprising, but it did make me think that I need to do that now...so the next time I see someone I want to talk to, I'm doing it, because y'know...why the hell not?
Anyway, came home and talked to my mum for a couple of hours too. Now THAT was nice! I haven't properly sat down and had a chat with my mum in forever...and I'm glad we finally did. She needs someone to talk to, she spends most of her time in her own little bubble in this little world she's created, but I appreciate she can talk to me all the same. We just sort of vented, reminisced about the past, talked about the future, appreciated the present, argued about god, religion, life, death...we fight a lot, but I love the relationship I have with my mum. Although she did say that she thinks I need to see a psychiatrist. I told her I was past the phase in my life where I needed to see a shrink and that it might've been useful anywhere between the ages of 11 and 18 but now I was happy and didn't need to talk to a stranger about my problems. She said she knew it was too late but that I still had insecurities and fears and what not that I had to deal with, so I had to assure her that I'd get over whatever insecurities I had myself and I'd do it when I needed to. She still thinks I need to see a shrink. Ha. I'm gonna take her out for a nice dinner and we're going to get wasted together and it's going to be nice, I think my mum deserves a night on the town with her baby girl before I leave.
Hope everyone had a happy Christmas! x
