two primary school girls, one question – that’s what it took me to realise that the years have passed me by.
“have you heard of Westlife?” one asked the other.
“of course, who hasn’t?” i thought rhetorically.
but then i realised, that time’s passed, a new era has dawned – one where Westlife has become a thing of the past.

there was a TIME featured article on how 1989 was a year where the world shifted on its pivot, where earth-rattling changes which impact the world till this day occured. 20 years ago, the Berlin Wall was breached, Tiananmen was in chaos, the religious Supreme leader of Iran drifted away to death.
20 years. so much has changed.

i don’t really like growing up.
the working world seems to parade a culture which i can’t agree with
no longer innocence, no longer genuine friendships and bonds.

i’ve been praying.
for a heart that will not look at others with
a holier-than-thou attitude
but for one that will truly love
from the inside out.

i’ve realised.
that 2 years have passed since the first journal entry.
as i laid down three books worth of pages
a tearful realisation
that you’ve always been the same
thankfully.
