Where does the time go

Had a brief chat with a friend today and she told me about her blog and I was like to myself geez, when was the last time I wrote anything in mine- maybe a year or so ago. I log on and last post was in 2009. Where does the time go! Statement, not question. So here I am again trying to start this up, strange thing is that over the past couple of weeks I have started writing again (not on the blog but more pen to paper type writing) Sandra Kuwaza – this one is just for you. I loved reading your blog, it sounded like I was sitting across the table from you and you were telling the story. Takes a special kind of person to be able to do that through written word. Can’t wait to read more of your stuff. So 4 years later, what has changed? Am I any different? Have my needs changed? Has my perspective on life change? Simple answer would be no but on deeper introspection some things have changed and some have remained the same. This is my evolution so it is to be expected. Who I am, what I want out of life and my drive to get there remains the same although my priorities have somewhat changed. I guess it’s that whole getting wiser thing. You see things, things happen to you, things happen around you and your perspective changes on how you see the world and what your expectations of what reality is also slightly change. Over the past couple of months I have done a lot of soul searching, introspection, gone back to basics, call it whatever you want to call it but frankly speaking, I like to think of it as “doing me”. It’s a darn hard pill to swallow for people around you, but hey, they don’t walk around in my stiletto heels all day so at the end of the day I did what I felt and believed was right for me. Always a tricky one especially when other people who you care about are involved. I’ll leave that story for my next blog though. Think I’ll call it – “Being in love with the idea of being loved. The realisation, denial, acceptance and the journey thereafter.” So you see as much as some things around me have changed remaining true to myself hasn’t. I remain a young (and no, I am not using this term loosely) woman with a love for life who is still on this journey of self discovery. My evolution continues…Aluta Continua
