Love is a
little game we play, filled with
uncertainties,
thirlls, &
excitement.
In simplistic terms, it's like playing
'jump rope' in the school yard when you had to
find a moment to run in between the ropes.
Sometimes you could run in & be in the moment
straight away & jump for
ages. Some days you'd
stand there &
never find the rhythm. Other days you'd
run & get
whacked in the face by the rope.
If only this
childish game was really like the big kids game we adolescents play. Where getting
whacked in the face was only a
momentary pain, soon forgotten the next day, with
no scars to remind you of that incident.
But what if playing with skipping ropes was
really the
key of moving forward in the battlefield?
Then all I have to do is
believe that one day I'll find the
perfect rhythm that allows me to jump
forever. Until then, all I have to do is keep taking my
chances with my head screwed on tightly.
The
hardest part of that game was
knowing when to
jump. But being
good at the game was about
blind faith & courage in the end; & about
never giving up, no matter how many times you'd be whacked in the face or knowing how
painful it could be.
When we're finally driven by
courage, it becomes easy to
smile &
laugh. We're able to feel
every jump, the ups & the downs that comes along with it; & though at times it may be a
struggle, being a part of that rollercoaster moment was
worth overcoming the
unknowns of the future.
For my
beautiful friend. Give it a
chance because in the end you will be okay. It'll only hurt for a
little while if you jumped at the
wrong time. But
you'll be
guaranteed that I'd be there to pick you up &
encourage you to jump
again. Maybe not straight away, but when the
bruises are
gone.

Chris Brown - First Day Of Spring
You give me this feeling
Willing to give you my time
You make me feel like everything's alright
It's sort of like
Hearing the birds chirpin’In the morning light
Or maybe even receiving a kiss goodnight
You got me believing we just might
End up being more then just two friends
When were together It feels, I feel
The sunny weather puts a smile right on my face
So why would I ever turn my back on what we have
You always bring that first day of spring

Uni results came out the
other night. When they were released I was tucked into bed, watching TV until
Tyson decided to message the Macq kids announcing the news. "
Uni resuls are out kids." Hands shaking, breathing becoming more rapid, & body being shot with a wave of goosebumps followed by trickles of sweat from my forehead I tried to push the anxiety
out of my head & fall asleep. Feeling
too agitated to sleep, I
had to
know how I went. A push of a button & a few clicks of the mouse I entered the Macquarie eStudent access page.
Type,
type, type.

A euphoric breath of
relief escaped my mouth &
excitement set in.
Congratulations bitch! You did it.
As I'm currently only enrolled into three units this semester, I have Monday & Friday off. So to increase my load & to make next year a
tad lighter I might pick a second year unit. That way it becomes easier & I might be able to meet a few older
hotties. I swear the latter isn't my main reason for wanting to pick up a second year unit. Though I
admit, it's a
bonus.
It comes to no surprise that when relationships end,
some feelings are retained. This blog was inspired by a conversation I had with an ex-flame some weeks ago.
Consider this, after a few months/years of not talking to each other, you finally got the
closure you sought to deal with the
unwanted feelings you had held on to. Now suddenly you are faced with them again. Some with feelings, often do the same mistake, fall &
fix the broken peices. Or there are others who are
bewildered & left for
laughter. I'd classify myself as the latter.
Have you ever fallen for someone so much that you accepted
anything &
everything they did, as long as it didn't get to breaking & abusive point, of course. That when you were in the relationship with them, years/months ago you were able to
deal with their annoying little habits, you
didn't care less what they said or did, you had
no shame for their lifestyle & proclivities. You accepted them for everything they were in the hopes that everything will turn out as a happy ending.
So when I reaquainted myself with this
particular one I had thought that I was still attracted to him, faintly attracted. Let me explain ..
There were certain qualities that he
possessed that I
adored, heck that's why I entered the relationship in the first place, no attraction & chemistry, no relationship - simple maths. Then there were other qualities about him that I
loved. One's that
weren't real.
Everyone won't agree to it, but we pose such qualities on people, dreaming of who we want them to be - unrealistic of course, but once we break up with them, these
fake characteristics
inevitably keep us from letting go. We dream the impossible, that one day they will suddenly transform into our perfect soul mate.
What we fail to remember is that it's all
make believe. It's
isn't really
him. Whatever feelings I still retained
weren't for
him.
This epiphany came to me in a dream one fine lazy afternoon, when his face had suddenly changed. I suddenly
realized that I
wasn't still holding onto him, because, all this time I
wasn't daydreaming about
him. The boy who I dreamt about may have had
his face & some of
his qualities, but the rest of it was someone who I
made up.
I'm
over the thought of wanting to be with
him, I'm
over wanting
him & now I've come to realise that all this time I was
over him.
Through life we live through relationships that
die. But just because they failed doesn't mean we can't learn & take something from that experience. I learned that I
really liked certain qualities about
him, & I'd like those qualities to be in someone who I could fall in love with all over
again.
It comes as a
surprise that all this time, after we ended, I
didn't have any feelings, it comes as a surprise that I
haven't been crying over you, it comes as a surprise that I
wasn't dreaming & wishing for
you, but someone who I
never had, someone who I
haven't even met, someone who I
made up.
