Cause someone up there holds the key to my heart
I'd do everything to tear it apart
By never allowing myself to let you win

When all I want is for you to see.
The side that I don't show to anyone in fear that they may turn and run

It's been a whirlwind of a 3 weeks since I've been back from Brisbane. I don't think I've felt so much pain and hurt before, but at the same time, so much comfort from God. Learning to take each day as it comes is my new motto, because sometimes I still feel like I can't think beyond one day at a time. It feels like I'm back to taking baby steps, learning to trust God and know that He heals and that time also heals. Thank God for friends who never fail to listen to my endless grumbling and whinging. Learning to be okay- not great, to be by myself.

Went back to SA the other day, and I love how the waves of nostalgia wash over me. I wish life could be that easy all the time, because being in school, particularly JC, consumes all your time and energy. I miss the feeling of not having to think of anything because your mind's preoccupied with what you learnt in class that day, and what next to study in preparation for exams, and being so happily overwhelmed with dancing. If only humans had the capacity to freeze time, or to rewind time. Pause, rewind, replay.

Being in Pathlight has taught me to be so appreciative of so many things. It's so great watching the kids becoming familiar with me, and everytime I hear 'Ms Amanda', my heart just jumps! Don't even know why. I love all of the kids so much, and am amazed by how honest and straightforward they are in dealing with people. It comes from somewhere pure and true, and becomes absolutely endearing.

I have come to realise that I am very passionate about all things against animal cruelty. wondering if this should be something that i can pursue in my future career. even reading a sentence on fb can get me so annoyed. just the thought of human manipulation in the innocent lives of animals just makes me sick to the stomach. afterall, we are the stronger species, and it is in our power to stop bad things from happening to the animals.

but on a side note, YAY! can't wait to get on the flight back to Singapore tonight :D it's been great catching up with all my lovely friends here that make me realise how blessed i am. it's been a tough time though, getting my emotions in check.

someone like you [Jun. 27th, 2011|01:24 pm]
I'd hope you'd see my face and be reminded that for me, it isn't over

Never mind, I'll find someone like you
I wish nothing but the best for you, too
Don't forget me, I begged, I remember you said,
Sometimes it lasts in love, but sometimes it hurts instead

I really do hate the way I feel about you/ around you sometimes. It makes me so uncomfortable and it upsets my equilibrium.

Toxic- that's what I'd call it.
