Finding back

Every minute that passes bid farewell to a year fading out of season, letting in the smell of another year that snakes into our noses in assimilation. Here comes one more chance to cage bad history, bad influence, bad habits and move on. Again, I'm doing this for the 20th time and trying hard to bar the feeling of cliché, to suppress the fear of facing exams that will, ultimately, settle my fate.

2007 was spent out of contact with myself. At the juncture of stepping-over, I found myself looking back and missing my quietness when it was just the scenes and me, my loneliness when it was just God and me, long nights of waiting on the stars with shadowfax, emo times when it was just music and me. I grew up believing humans are not chameleons, believing the environment will not change my colour but sometimes nature proves me wrong.

I've seen how people who face lost rely on faith, like my pastor's wife working on the hollow that her husband left in a car crash. Something changes drastically in a flick of light.
I've tasted the joy of reunion with childhood friends. Something just doesn't change despite the wearing of years.
It's mysterious that how orion is always hanging on the sky over tropical countries all year round and not change seeing acres of land and people living in it change their shapes and colours.

The realm we all live in, it's unexpected. Well, G.B.Shaw said "In this world there is always danger for those who are afraid of it." To me, I think even you're not afraid, danger comes looking for you nonetheless. But "the best thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time. "-A.Lincoln-consider this an alternative of wishing happy new year.
