A comeback of sorts- A V post

Hello devoted reader(s)

I am back, from the dead, or so it would seem. Change is a wierd thing. You dread it, and yet when it actually hits you. you seem to be so involved and absorbed in it that you forget that you were fearing it all this time. A similar thing has affected me. Life has been one major big blur that I forgot to take sometime for myself. I finally get the time and the first thing I do is blog. Heh. Shows my devotion to the arts.

I was ready. I was ready to take on the big bad adult world. I was ready to stand up and be counted. I was ready to put everything behind me and move forward. And for a while, it seemed so. And then, we hit our first roadblock. The head was saying "FORWARD!!!!", the rest of me said, "Hold on mate, what's your rush??" This disparity existing, mistakes were bound to happen. And so they did. The first one wasn't big, the second one was career-threatening.

Time to slow down.....and then take things one by one. Funnily enough, this is what everyone has told me, for any situation. This seems to be all-weather advice:

Me: I don't know which t-shirt to buy
Others: Take things slow.

Me: I don't know what to do
Others: Take things slowly.

The only time I followed that advice was while driving.

But now, I stood back and thought, "Why not?" So I stopped, I stayed still, I asked questions, I learnt. And I was ready to give it my second shot. This time it was successful, and greater responsibility was given. I didn't hesitate, but welcomed it. Thus, a new me emerged, no longer the type to spend long hours at coffee shops and listen to teeny-boppers gossip, or agonize about failed relationships.

However, these things don't last too long.

Free time being mine again, the same thoughts, the same pastimes come rolling back. However, I'm ready to face them all, and indeed I am, with a smile on my face, and a song in the head. (Just purchased a new ipod..heh).

Growing up really wasn't that difficult at all.
