Your life is your life don’t let it be clubbed into dank submission.
Be on the watch there are ways out.
There is a light somewhere.
It may not be much light but it beats darkness.
Be on the watch the gods offer you chances.
Know them.
Take them.
You can’t beat death but you can beat death in life, sometimes.
And the more often you learn to do it, the more light there will be.
Your life is your life.
Know life is your life.
Know it while you have it.
You are marvelous.
The gods wait to delight in you.

The Laughing Heart by Charles Bukowski

I am back
I haven't blogged in days. Its been almost two months I believe. Actually I got lazy in the beginning and then I thought to myself: I am not writing things that I am actually feeling. I am just blogging for the sake of blogging. And then while I was thinking all that there was a death in my family, then another one and then yet another one.
So that is when I totally forgot that I had a blog that I had to take care of. Somehow things are not exactly going the way I want them to go but then when exactly do things go the way you have planned them.
So last week I was psyched about this job interview. Or maybe it was the week before that. Sorry, I have lost track of time. So I prepared for this interview like mad. In all honesty, they scare me. But anyway, I thought I had done a good job researching about the company and then the usual questions Tell me about yourself, Strengths, Weaknesses and Questions I needed to ask at the end. Even the lady who interviewed me was laughing throughout and giving me this really positive feedback. All that to find out that I had been rejected.
As I read the email I was really sad, but now its in the past. I decided not to bring that day into my present life. Anyway, enough of that. I just totally lost all my thoughts when my niece stepped into the room and cried/screamed and I am so blank now.
I have decided to change my blog a little. I have just started reading Paulo Coelho's blog and I kind of like his idea of having several topics on his daily blog. They are simple yet interesting. So today when I have a little time to myself I will write about several things that are actually close to my heart.
Happy Holidays by the way!

Untitled
You forgive me for liking you too much,
And I'll forgive you for not liking me enough.
You forgive me for missing you so,
And I'll forgive you for being so cold.
You forgive me for the loud racing of my heart,
And I'll forgive you for not hearing it.
You forgive me for playing your games,
And I'll forgive you for toying with my emotions.
You forgive me for finding you so attractive,
And I'll forgive you for not noticing.
You forgive me for raising you up so high,
And I'll forgive you for bringing me down so low.
You forgive me for being so pathetic,
And I'll forgive you for taking advantage of it.
You forgive me for not being able to let go,
And I'll forgive you for never having latched on.
You forgive me for having hopes and dreams,
And I'll forgive you for crushing them.
Forgiveness brings inner peace.
Do we have a deal?
I saw this as a note on a friend's facebook and I believe it makes sense. Why does love have to be so complicated? Anyway - I'm not in any kind of pain, I just dont believe in keeping my heart up my sleeve anymore.
