the joy of music.

"Around here, however, we don't look backwards for very long. 

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, 

because we're curious... and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths."  

- Walt Disney

music is a wondrous thing - the joy of immersing in it while watching the world go by. having forgotten the magic of my ipod and i've definitely regretted neglecting it, the journeys it's brought me through - happy and sad, feeding me songs that calm my mind and add to the happiness, or when necessary set a song that flows with the mood, telling me i'm not alone. and to think i once believed i could live without music. music is like a good friend taken for granted, you think you can do without them even after all the good they've done you. but yet, it never disappoints when you choose to go back and embrace it.

exactly two months ago, i set foot out of a dear place called home. i strapped myself tight, prepared for a bumpy journey of homesickness and just being away from loved ones. but strangely enough, the power of technology was so great such that i could connect with the people that mean the most to me like i was just a next street away. i never thought i'd fall in love with being overseas, i've never enjoyed me-time and me-space and coming so close to creation i could kiss it. someone once said "not many things can connect us to the creator like touching creation" and i've come to realise how true that is. being away from everything that you're used to, keeps you away from distractions, from temptations and at the same time makes you appreciate and treasure everything close to heart. what a dilemma.

just hug me tight 

and never let go.
