alone, but never lonely.

Photo diary: Taiwan 2013

This space has lain dormant for quite a while, and I'm not sure why I haven't been here. This space reminds me of all that is happy and good and I should be more grateful for what I have.

And by that entire longwinded paragraph, I actually just meant to say: I WILL BLOG MORE. 

To kick things off: photo diary from Taiwan.

LOVE.

Silly gifs that you are always so reluctant to take but always end up taking just to humour me anyway. 

As much as I know I do, I am still terrified of saying it out loud because I'm scared that as we grow, we will one day grow apart instead of together and find ourselves unable to overcome the distance, and then whoever I end up with will inevitably be second best. 

And that's kind of shitty. 

random acts of kindness.

Being at the reservoir always clears my head. 

Last night I walked from my place to the reservoir, as I have done many times over. Sat there listening to music, thinking about things. What to do with my life, what I want out of this life. Where my life is going. If that is where I want my life to go. How to be a better person. How to get to where I want to be. 

I lost track of time and at about 2am a 20-something guy tapped me on the shoulder and asked if I was okay. He said it was not normal for a girl to be sitting alone at the reservoir at that hour; he thought I might have been there to kill myself. I laughed. He asked if I needed to talk. 

I ended up pouring my heart out to a complete stranger for the next hour and a half. 

Sometimes it is so much easier to talk to a stranger. No judgement. No preconceived notions. No prior understanding or biasness. 

And he just listened. "I hope you find what you're looking for. It will get better." A smile. And then he walked me to the main road and left. 

I never even got his name. 

Random acts of kindness and humanity.... you never how much they can help. 

There's always someone who cares. 

you see the light that I can’t see

Oh baby, my baby,

You’ve held me

through many broken hearts

And maybe, just maybe

You can fix all my broken parts

And you took me by surprise

When you took my hand

And you with your dark brown eyes

You see the light that I can’t see

You see the light in me.

(x)

i love you, goodbye.

I'm glad you got to witness at least one more milestone in my life. I hope you're proud of me. You should be very proud of how you've raised your entire family. I miss you, I love you, and I really wish you didn't have to go.
