Run Like Mad

Here I go.. One more time.

In exactly 7 days time, I will be taking the first step to a new phase in my life. It's been a long time since I took on a phase I actually wanted to live through. This particular one though, I've waited ages for..

It's kind of surreal to be honest. Everything I wanted, I got. I wanted to get into Royal Holloway, and I did.. I wanted to do Psychology, and I'm getting to do that course.. I wanted to move out, and wanted to become independent (in a non-losing myself kind of way).. And most of all, I wanted this feeling that I have right now.. This feeling of absolute freedom.. and feeling like "THIS IS IT!".. Everything is starting to make sense now.

I'm finally at a place where I feel more comfortable than I thought I could this year.. Through all the trials I went through, I never thought.. Not even in my wildest dreams that one day, I'd be standing here.. Just days away from the life I've wanted. Sometimes it can feel a bit scary.

The year that I had so far, since leaving Dubai last year.. Was one that I never want to experience again. I am thankful for the bad things I had to endure, and the pain that I had to suffer.. It is because of that, I am here today.. Standing straight. And obviously, I need to thank one particular person for having so much patience with me.. And seeing me through all of that, and standing by my side.. He's been an angel.

I can now say with honesty.. I am alive.

PS - To everyone beginning university this year: Good luck, and have an absolutely fabulous time. Enjoy it as much as you can, and don't be afraid to try anything new =)

My heart is in my hands
My head is in the clouds
My feet have left the ground
My life is turning around and round.
Every voice inside my head is telling me to Run like mad..

a day of black
a day of gray
a day of fog
was blown away

a gate unlocked
a knot in time
looking at the past
through a glass of wine

new paths to tread
new pages unread
the halo round your neck
now shines above your head


big hug hug hug starling

and good luck to you also. You are a rarity in the fact that you can appreciate the things you have endured and turn all the bad into the good. You are amazing. Keep on smiling and just be yourself. Goodness will keep on coming.

I've always told you everything happens for a reason, even if you don't understand it, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, you just need the faith to believe.

Enjoy your time at uni, before you know it you'll be waking up early to go to work =-S and lying about the languages you speak =D

Work hard and achieve all that you have dreamt of, good luck!!!!

P.S. I see that someone isn't a snuffleapagus =DDD LOL
