singing in the rain

I'm still addicted to the video in my previous post. I love the dramatic seal and the way he flops over and sleeps once the drama is over. I also love his cry of indignant anger and the shot of another penguin approaching him near the end of the video ♥

---

I feel a tremendous sense of relief (somewhat, at least). It's as if there were many issues/problems hanging over my head like dark rainclouds waiting to unleash torrents of inclement weather on me and suddenly the sun has come out to sing with me :) Of course, not everything has been resolved yet, but I hope/think they will be, soon.

- I know it's a big step and I feel happy deep down but I won't think any less of you should you choose not to. Some things are more than words :) You are so sweet and I couldn't imagine anyone who'd treat me better than you do.

- Finally! I'm so glad. I guess you'll get to visit me properly come next Saturday :)

- Phew that's a great burden off my mind. I honestly honestly had lots of bad feelings about this and I even dreamt about a "reconciliation". Now I realise I was being oversensitive (as usual) and you're still the ever sweet and lovely person you've become. I'm really looking forward to seeing you again.

- Now for my strange experiences to please stop happening please stop so I can sleep peacefully and not fall asleep with a panicked heart. My room feels neglected. I'm sorry and I hope things look up soon.

- Please do not come back again, I beg you. You're a horribly inconvenient ailment to be stricken with and I can't believe I'm talking to a microorganism.

---

This year is a year of renewal. Renewal of old friendships and kinship; renewal of the mind and the body. Renewal of faith. May it also be a year of growth.
