Signing out

First, let me say that I've missed you all.

Life has gotten even busier, due to certain ventures that I started recently. I realise that, as a result, it will be difficult from now on to devote the amount of time and energy needed into blogging, so I've decided to close this blog. I'll leave it up for about a week or so to give persons a chance to leave any comments, before taking it down.

However, I still plan to drop in from time to time to comment on your blogs. I've made quite a few friends via this medium, and I would hate to lose the connection. You've all been great sources of encouragement and support, for which I'll always be grateful. It has made and will continue to make my journey so much easier.

So this is not really goodbye. I guess it's more like "see you soon."

Keep me in your thoughts, as I do the same for you.

Chillaxing

Although I no longer listen to gospel music and/or contemporary Christian music, because I think they jar with my new-found philosophy, I still enjoy inspirational music. Like this group, which I've come to appreciate because of their simple, yet profound lyrics. Plus, there's no mention of god in an in-your-face way. Yet, one can still be inspired in a spiritual, non-religious way, which moves me.

So, today, I'm chillaxing, and kicking back to this and this and this and this.

And it doesn't hurt that the lead singer is hot!

Coming full circle

Something dawned on me just the other day, almost like a feather landing softly on my shoulder. I've returned to the crossroads I was at 10 years ago.

At that time, I was searching for truth, trying to find my way, and maybe even myself. But I didn't take the time then, as I'm doing now, to work through all the issues and questions. I didn't search hard and long enough, failed to dig deeper. The process was shortcut by external influences that I allowed to mold my choices, because I was accustomed to having others think for me, because I wasn't as strong-minded as I should have been.

So many regrets now. Waves that have been threatening to overwhelm me lately.

Questions surge like breakers over my head: What do you do when you feel like you've lost 10-20 years of your life? How do you get them back?

But at the crossroads, one can never go back.

Perhaps this is my second chance. To rewrite the story. To have the life that I want. And a happier ending.

But it begins with coming full circle. To me.
