Just when you thought the sky is getting brighter.

Without my presence, this space echoes emptiness.
Without your presence, my heart echoes loneliness.

Wounds reopened, feelings rekindled, memories resurfaced.

I woke up to a mixture of feelings. A feeling of yearning, a feeling of uncertainty, a feeling of helplessness, a feeling of sadness. I knew very well how I could chase this whirlwind of emotions away, given that I had been successful combatting them in the past. But the past is nothing like the present, the present is nothing like the past. I could have done the same when I was pushed back into harsh reality, but I held myself back, knowing where I stand.

I got by the day feeling lousy, with a whirlwind of emotions creeping right behind me. I had plans for myself, and that was to immerse my mind in the written words and lines of A Walk to Remember. I have watched the film umpteen times, but truth be told, this was my very first time reading it. I do not read novels extensively like many other girls do, so each book I read is almost like an achievement to me. Disappointment there, as I felt that the movie was more convincingly moving. To each his own.

It is very amazing how time flies. A year has gone by just like that, and everything fades into the shadow of memories.
