sub-post 2: (my take on life) Well, I must say that the way i percieve life has changed a lot recently, and i'd say it's for the better. I used to be trapped in my own sphere of self-pity, in which i'd always feel inferior, insecure, and unsure. To say that i've been "delivered" is perhaps fair..I've cast my shadow/s of the past behind me, and right now, i feel i'm like a dragonfly, having undergone the transition from a nymph, and having just emerged from the molted skin i leave behind. The wind's in my face, the joy in my heart, the beauty of the world in my mind, and I on the palm of God. I feel refreshed, and I feel "able"...this line from a christian song echoes in my mind constantly: "All things are possible"...been kinda listening to music quite a lot too, and these lines from "Mamma Mia - Chiquitita" are lovely: Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leaving You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grieving Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita No reference to anything with the heartache part...it's just that i feel this song gives me the idea of hope...the thought of shaking off problems which have plagued me, and to cherish new opportunities, and to embrace the world with Joy!..yeap...I thank God for all the friends He's placed in my life, and for working on me through them..I thank God too for my sorrows, my miseries ( I really do!!)...One thing I've learnt is to throw my own concerns aside, and learn to appreciate the beauty in everything God has placed in my path..I don't want a life that is smooth sailing...I don't learn from that. What I want is for God to place hurdles in my life, but for him to always be with me, for him to guide me as i walk through this bumpy road. For Him to show me the "Why" behind every hurdle he places in my path, and for Him to keep the faith in me when He decides not to tell me "Why". I thank you God for bringing me through everything..Life's good, and it's only going to get better!...It may not be easier, and if God decides to make it harder, I'll accept it!...But just bring me through it Lord. Thanks to all my friends who have helped see me through these tough times. Your humble Servant always, Nick
