Every day's a new day

Half the time goes by
Suddenly you're wise
Another blink of an eye
67 is gone
The sun is getting high
We're moving on...
I'm 99 for a moment
Dying for just another moment
And I'm just dreaming
Counting the ways to where you are
15 there's still time for you
22 I feel her too
33 you're on your way
Every day's a new day....

- 100 Years, Five for Fighting

Anything but safe

After 3 years, here I am again. I was tempted to delete the entire blog, but found myself resuscitating it instead. 3 years is not a lifetime, but long enough to make me feel as though I've aged more than I should. Maybe that's why they call it full cycle.

It's strange, really. To pick up from where I left off, and try to open up again. Well, not like I'm about to pour out my heart and soul, but to do this again is sure to surprise some of my close friends even. Actually, I'm kinda surprised at myself. Am I ready for this? Will all this end in heartbreak again, where I have to shut down and recluse into my shell for another period of silence and solitude? I was once told that "nothing happens by being safe".

So here I am now. An attempt at being anything but safe.

It's time for change, because the past still haunts me. It's time to change, because life must go on.
