something about love. and time.
Love isn’t just something than can be taken away in one night. It isn’t something that can disappear in a heartbeat, in a 24 hour clock or in a few days time. It simply can’t. And yet… one can find oneself disappointed. Disappointed and dispassionate. And adrift. It’s only once your love has been tested, by the slightest twist, that you can ( Read more... ) -
Canadian Christmas, London New Year's
After having potentially one of the best Christmases I can remember in years, coming back to London was slightly bitter sweet but all the same greatly anticipated. Two weeks of family oriented outings, of friendly obligations, of unexpected sightings and of the regulatory life-sorting out ‘important money stuff’ somehow made London seem less ( Read more... ) -
as time goes by
I’ve just come home from watching the film Into the Wild. It’s one of those absolutely breath taking films where you need every last closing credit to compose yourself before walking out of the cinema. Not only is the scenery and filming incredible, but the story itself, and the unwavering optimism and drive of the main character offer a certain ( Read more... ) -

Low
Here I am posting while on another low. Suppose it's the culmination of events over the last few days. Stress piles up and infringes on everything else and before you know it you're at rock bottom trying to get your head back above water. This time it feels like there's no air tank down here and no rope to pull me out. Maybe that's how it always ( Read more... ) -
march madness
It's always March when life seems to crumble around you and your doubts and fears rear their ugly heads. It's the inbetween month. It's when the depressing weather of winter won't seem to go away and spring teases you on a regular basis. It's when we grow older and haggered and tired ( Read more... ) -
