Steals across the meadows of my heart
High up in the sky the little stars climb
Always reminding me that were apart
Sometimes I wonder why I spend
The lonely nights
Dreaming of a song
The melody haunts my reverie
And I am once again with you
When our love was new, and each kiss an inspiration
But that was long ago, and now my consolation
Is in the stardust of a song.
Beside the garden wall, when stars are bright
You are in my arms
The nightingale tells his fairy tale
Of paradise where roses grew

Would you keep a worn out old couch, weathered by time but so comfortable and familiar or have a sleek new designer sofa that you know will get stolen if your house was broken in?
Another thing that comes to mind is man's need for change. Nature is designed in such a way that change is necessary but not necessarily easily adaptable. How many of us have found ourselves stuck in the same routine and situation time and time again that it fails to have any meaning to us anymore? That the people who have been beside us for years have begun to pale in comparison to those we have just met? How can it be that we can abandon those who have stuck with us through thick and thin for someone so temporary yet seem so exciting in the short time that we have known them? And despite that, we find it so hard to accept the change that at any slight hint of trouble or rejection, we leave...only to return to our trusty couch. Will we settle for second best with all the inadequacies that have failed to satisfy us over the years or take a chance to find one that can fulfill said inadequacies? Personally, it is a hard decision to make to leave a situation so familiar, predictable, safe and secure only to jump into something so uncertain and something that leaves us so open and vulnerable. How many of us are content to be cosily nestled in our comfort zone and how many of us are ready to take up a challenge?

Change. All of life as I know it is changing. At this juncture, I feel it is as apt a time as any for a revival of this long-forgotten blog and a renewal of my faith and hope in life; that things can finally go right and happiness is but a thought away and not a fulfillment of idealistic dreams and near-unattainable goals. Here's to a more simplistic view of life and many lessons in letting go...only for continuous renewal and rebirth.

Do thou but thine, and be not diffident
Of wisdom, she deserts thee not, if thou
Dismiss not her, when most thou needest her nigh,
By attributing overmuch to things
Less excellent, as thou thyself perceivest"
John Milton
"I hold it true,what'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all."
Alfred Lord Tennyson

Belated indeed. So belated that I have forgotten most of what I have wanted to put in writing...but at least still have a vague idea of the gist of it.
Personally, I do not believe in making resolutions. In the viewpoint of a procrastinator, short-term goals seem to be a more effective way of getting things done. The very thought of having a whole year to fulfill your resolutions just gives you a good excuse to keep putting things off for 'later'. Plus, the benefit of having short-term goals is that you can keep on changing them as you progress, thus achieving more in the same amount of time. It's like giving yourself a whole day to climb up a step as opposed to giving yourself a minute to climb that step and another to climb the next one. And the whole beauty of this is that you can even modify your goal to suit the situation. Thus begins another year without resolutions, long-term goals or expectations...here's to living in the here and now!
"Good resolutions are simply checks that men draw on a bank where they have no account."
Oscar Wilde
