Making and Taking Space and Relieving My Childhood

The New Year has finally come and here I am, changed (I hope for the better) and more experienced than last year. Last year was a tricky year for me. It was filled with ups and downs and unwanted rollercoaster rides which I am hinting now were needed at that time. Embracing the pain that spawned from foolishness was an arduous deal but it was never meant for the weak-hearted and the unfocused. And it was true, what my friends have been telling me all year round, it will get better and it did. Everything pointed home. I discovered that all I needed was a time out, to be with my family, to feel the warm of a family and everything fell into place. My plans are back on track again, in motion again.   


"Home is a where the heart finds peace. It is a place where anyone can find blissful solace and heartfelt content. A safe place for the mind and soul – for the being."

I have been hanging on to those words for weeks now and I was thinking of using it as an intro to a blog or something but the next words never came through so I thought I should just quote it. 

I wanted to start this year right. So after writing one song, watching one really good movie (Martha, Marcy May, Marlene) and having the weirdest breakfast (it was good weird though), I decided to move some things in the house. I needed space for my books since I have already given up my apartment back at the University since I am (technically) a graduate and don't need anymore lodging there. I need to do this to mark the time, to say that I am finally stepping into the future, to making my dreams come true. Cheesy right? I know. But I need to start somewhere and I started with the most precious things to me - my books. 

I noticed as I was making space that we still had the Brains Blitz and a book of puzzles lying around the house. I remember I used to read them to boost my scope in General Knowledge and solving puzzles. I think that was where I got my enthusiasm for reading books in the first place. Ah, childhood. Even if my father forced me into reading those books, I was happy to have read them and have this affinity to them and to all the books that I have read and might read in the future until the day I die. And right, I am going to start...

Happy New Year Everybody!!!
