Gone

Slipping by the river,

Floating downstream,

She’s wading into the deep end,

Doesn’t care if she’s seen,

Tears down her face,

Knots in her hair,

Do you see her?

Do you see her?

She doesn’t really care,

Voice in a chorus,

The river hums along,

Swirling round her legs,

The current getting strong,

Do you see her?

Do you see her?

Hair like flame,

Eyes on fire,

They say she’s a witch,

But they don’t understand,

Not when they’ve all lived in the mire,

Too long,

Too long,

She tarried here,

Now they come with sticks and stones,

Even her love will break her,

Do you see her?

Do you see her?

Down by the river,

Singing her song,

She floats with the current,

And then she’s gone.

Happy New Year!!!!!

I know it's a little late to be starting New Year wishes but still, thought I'd give it a go too since it's the first time my little blog has had the experience of being around through a new year.

It's been an awesome 2013 and I'll admit, I'm actually kind of sad to see it end. 2013 was the year of so many new experiences and memories. I'll never forget times spent with the ones I loved, all the heartaches and laughter and the crazy shit we did or said. Who needs a diary when it's all in my head?

I'll miss 2013 and it's mad experiments and secret trips. I've met new friends and found out just how much I could really grow into me. I've met the someone I wished I knew existed long before to spare me the heartbreak of my previous exes. I started a new life for the first time away from home and loved the experience and the freedom it brought. And I'm so very very grateful for all the blessings I've received. Every little memory of all my friends and family and love, it's all a gift. And I can never thank you all enough.

In 2013 my little blog has grown so much as well, although viewers and readers are not that many, but I'm grateful to all of you who took the time to follow my postings. I love you guys! Thank you for supporting me! Also a million thanks to my guest blogger and dear friend, Selene who hasn't only been guest blogging but also taking over while I've been M.I.A due to exams or other whatnots that got in the way. Without her, I doubt posting would so regular.

So I say adieu to a beautiful 2013 full of memories and adventures, and welcome 2014. I pray it will be a year to top the wonderful memories made in 2013.

To my family who may never read this, thank you for giving me the chance to grow.
To my ever practical and caring boyfriend who tries so hard to make me happy, I love you very much and I hope that we'll be the ones to make it through together last year, this year and forever, mushy as it sounds.
To my best friends, you know who you are guys, thanks for making me laugh and complaining with me, crapping with me and putting up with my shit and laughing at my sarcasm.
To my readers, viewers and supporters, thank you for continuing to read my blog.
I love you all!!

Stay inspired and creative, don't be afraid to step forward and live your life to the fullest! May your lives be blessed with adventures and lotsa love!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!!! WISHING YOU ALL A BLESSED 2014!!!!!
