Soundtrack of Goodbyes

Happiness, hit her like a train on a track
Coming towards her, stuck still no turning back
She hid around corners and she hid under beds
She killed it with kisses and from it she fled
With every bubble she sank with a drink
And washed it away down the kitchen sink

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
The horses are coming so you better run

Run fast for your mother run fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your longing behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are done
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/f/florence_and_the_machine/dog_days_are_over.html ]
And I never wanted anything from you
Except everything you had
And what was left after that too. oh.

Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back
Struck from a great height
By someone who should know better than that

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses
Cuz here they come

Run fast for your mother and fast for your father
Run for your children for your sisters and brothers
Leave all your love and your loving behind you
Can't carry it with you if you want to survive

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

The dog days are over
The dog days are gone
Can you hear the horses because here they come

Mixed Feelings

Its funny, a few months ago I was crying as I said goodbye to the life I knew.
Now, I'm crying as I say goodbye to the life I discovered.

Tell me please, is there a way of saying goodbye? How am I suppose to leave all of this behind. How am I supposed to go back where I left off. Is that even possible?

So much time. So many changes.
I left the expected and came to the unknown. I am hypnotized by the beauty of it.

Now what should I expect as I return?

Opening Up

It does not come as a surprise to me that sometimes you can become fully aware of who you are, where you're heading, how you perceive things and how could you do things differently. When you're hit with this kind of awareness, there is nothing much to do, but to think and maybe act upon it.

These couple of weeks I became fully aware of the power that human beings have to open up. We can open up to several things. We can open up our minds and understand something that we couldn't some time ago. We can open up our hearts and let someone in. We can open up our eyes and understand something's  true beauty.

It is not easy to put yourself out there, and that is what opening up means. Exposing yourself to someone, to everyone, to risks. It is becoming vulnerable. It is becoming naive. It takes a lot, even to open up and be honest with yourself. Sometimes it's just easier to shut down.

I opened myself to new friendships, to people. I opened up to someone in particular. To my surprise, it has grown, it has matured and it is making a daily difference in my life. Friends are never enough, even when we think "you know what, I'm good with what I have". Good people around you is a blessing.

And I have been blessed in NYC.
