Tuesday morning
I remember stormy weather
The way the sky looks when it's cold
And you were with me
Content with walking
So unaware of the world

Walking on air
nigel.

Resolve
I resolve to not let things affect me so much. I guess, sometimes I get too worked up because of trivial matters and view small things as really large ones. I should also stop being over-sensitive to certain things because they really make my life a hard one to live, by filling it with all these doubts and insecurities that it's a wonder I don't wake up to the sound of my own screams.

One more day before the first day of school, the first day of RJC. Tomorrow'll be rather busy, a totally filled up day before school. Well at least spending my time on activities outside is better than being cooped up at home with nothing better to do. Maybe I can do what everyone else is doing and start settinig goals for 2007 and reflect on 2006. But nah. I think I'll keep my goals to myself.

As for 2006... Well I guess 2006 wasn't a bad year for me. It could actually be said to be a good year, what with the endless amounts of fun and laughter I had with my friends and everyone else. Sure there were bound to be bad times. but fortunately for me there weren't that many, nor were they as serious as some of the things other people have experienced. Sometimes I think I need to stop for a moment and thank God for how fortunate I am, when I see my friends/hear them talk about their lives and in comparison to them, I am really very blessed.

In 2006, I didn't lose any friends but instead strengthened relationships with many existing ones. Of course we lost Fahd to the USA but it's not like we don't keep in touch anymore. It would have been cool if he came with us to RJC but we deal with what life's given us. I could have done more in school I guess. Made a more lasting mark and impression on RI. But what's the point of looking back and regretting when it's already over.

2006 was probably not that good for some of my close friends, I guess. One individual found love so wonderful in a partner that was a tad too mature, and ended up losing her to another. Another had a breakup so devastating the aftershocks might still be felt, and it left this person a wiser but slightly more cynical person. One friend had what he thought was a potential best friend in his sights but ended up souring the whole relationship to become less than normal friends. In a world with such empty feelings of sorrow and regret it seems as if I can choke on the thickness of loss.

But talking always pulls us through.

Words and voices are actually an important, integral part of our lives.

And I want to talk more.

To everyone, to friends, to family, to y-
