Cologne in the morning

There is no satisfaction in provoking an argument when you get someone who tries to reason you out or is not mean enough to make you start yelling at them.

There is no satisfaction in throwing a tantrum if you have no responsive audience who manjas and soothes you.

Bloody essays and annoying things that pile up.
And screw you, who are you to mean that much to me?

"You have me wrapped around your little finger. No wait, you have me wrapped all around you."

Wind-blown daffodils

This feeling of discomfort and insecurity rankles and scratches invadingly, like the tag of a new shirt except the tag is all over the place and you just want to rip it off and leave it on the bathroom floor.

You've only known me when I was happy, a wellspring of cheerfulness bubbling under.

April showers bring May flowers

It feels good to do springcleaning and dispose of boxes that contain archaic and unimportant items. A little nostalgia and amazement at how they came into my possession. And incredulity at the importance that I once accorded it.

This one is for me.

No place like home

Back from Italy. Now pack-loaded with essays due in 4 days time. Came back refreshed and in a better position to do battle, not that there will be dragon-slaying to do.

This feels surreally comfortable, slouching back on an unmade bed that isn't mine and blogging with just my laptop unplugged from the power cables. Background sounds of furious typing and laptops whirring. The creaking sound from the rooms upstairs and the thump of footsteps on the stairs are familiar to me now.

I could get so used to this. Content and peace is something I haven't experienced for quite a while.

To me, what tops being on vacation is being welcomed home after a cold and tiring journey with love and warmth. And without realising it, a smile slips out at the sweet little gestures that shows you that you were missed.

Its good to be home.

Under the Tuscany sun

Off again, this time to Italy.

Very exhausted and sick and frustrated. I wish my getaway this time was to a quiet island for 3 or 4 days just to sleep and relax and be myself and soak up laughter and happiness. And after that I may be content to come home and work on my essays.

I hope I shall return from Italy refreshed.

Here's to cappuccinos and gelatos! =)
