...And I'm back.

It has been more than a year since I last posted something in here. Was going through some of my older posts when I realised how much I used to love writing. So here I am. Back in action. Like Arnold Schwarzenegger. But not for long, I guess. Not sure how often I'm going to come back to this page. Not that it matters.

So much has happened over the past year. I went from being cool to being extremely cool. Okay, no need for scoffing. Always thought I'd start off with a good joke. But certain things did change my life. They changed the way I looked at life and at myself. For a short while, I felt like a part of me died. But I'm glad it did, because a new part of me was born after. A stronger, tougher, better part of me.

Sometimes things just don't go according to plan. They just don't. And you feel like shit. Shit happens. It really does. You whine, you grumble, you curl yourself up like a little foetus in your bed and cry your eyes out while listening to "A Thousand Years", because strangely, listening to terribly depressing songs makes the depressed feel better. Or worse. Or worse but better worse.

But then you move on. Because wallowing in misery and self-pity, and beating yourself up over things that didn't work out isn't going to take you anywhere. You pick yourself up, write a song about moving on, and then you simply do. You will then discover how strong a person you are when you find it easier to get through each day as time passes.

Life really isn't about what you have, but how you choose to live it. Of course, it also helps to realise how awesome online shopping is. But that doesn't apply to everyone, I guess. Yay, Charlie Chaplin tee!
