Let us pause in life’s pleasures and count its many tears
While we all sup sorrow with the poor
There’s a song that will linger forever in our ears
Oh, hard times come again no more
Sigh of the weary
Hard times come again no more
Many days you have lingered around my cabin door
Hard times come again no more

Eastmountainsouth – Hard Times

That’s just the first part of a song that I stole off an acquaintance sometime ago. I don’t know why the title, but since it’s there, I might as well make it my first frank entry of the year. It’s not like I haven’t done this at least a million times before, but well – it suits the title anyhow.

I am apprehensive about the year that I’ve somewhat nose-dived into. My 2007 officially starts when my feet set themselves back at Tullamarine Airport tomorrow morning. But I suppose everything will be okay; all I need is some warming up.

Sometimes I’d like to think that I’m overreading things between the lines when there’s nothing to it. Then again, have I become ignorant since then?

I am scared.

I’m star-struck. To find an exact reason to this, go dig up one of my recent entries – Mistletoe Mission 1.3. Check out who dropped a comment on that post. Could this be the start of something promising after all?

Honestly? I wish I never ever have to go through so many limbos within such a short period of time. And I guess that’s exactly why the saying goes do not toy with people’s heart.

… Because that’s what circumstances do.

Cause I know how hard it can get
But you gotta lift
And sometimes that’s how it is
But I know you’re strong
Stronger than this

p/s: last entry outside of Melbourne. I’ll see you folks soon.
