1st anniversary
I’m downloading happy Beatles songs and enjoying the sunshine today. I’ve been so extremely tired and busy lately with school that I rarely have time to write and when I do I opt to flip channels on the TV in a comatose state instead. It’s horrible really. Recently I was thinking about how much time I used to devote and spend writing lyrics, poetry and fiction. And now…now…nothing. It’s sad really.

This year when I pulled out the cake I got quite choked up because it was nearly perfect and it was like pulling that day out of a memory box and rejoicing in it. It was great and I’m glad I did it.
