Trees grow back

Helloo, to whomever cares to read this!

I know I've been updating the site on an abnormal basis, not keeping tabs on the distance between each post. But, it's okay because despite how irregular the timing, I have made sure to keep my posts parallel, if I may admit, with the life that I am leading. Or, in better English, my life as it is momentarily.

I realise that I've made quite an odd move by going to college and studying something more on the mathematical side of business. Which is slightly contradictary toward my love for English and using that particular side of my brain.

If there's anything I've learned over the past year, it's that sometimes, the unplanned moments of your life are the best moments of your life. And, I realise that if you are just checking out the site and seeing what it's all about, (or, perhaps, what I'm all about) you may think that to be a bit soppy and just leave it right there. Close the tab at the top of your page and conclude on that note.. But, it's true. We grow up with no idea what is in store for us when we become older. We are left to just experience the world and make what we want of it.

My point to this post is to basically just post. It's after 2am, and it's been a long week.. I just wanted to tell my readers that life goes by too quickly to get up in the morning and already have given up on the day that is ahead. Just like our futures, the day ahead is not a chore, but an opportunity. A beautiful opportunity, one that can be made into absolutely anything if we only let it.

Maybe I'm a bit too easy-going, but that's how I finally began to see my day. Potentially beautiful.



I noticed on my way home from college today, that sometimes, things leave... and they're never exactly supposed to come back. A few years ago I was on the same route, unlikely the same bus, and while I travelled to my destination I watched as a forest was being cut down by builders. And for months on end, I wondered, and I asked aloud, if the forest would ever grow back. And, I was told it would.

Today, though, I was travelling by the same area, looking out at the scenery, and I noticed something. Instead of forestry growing back, those odd looking cat-tail plants had sprung up all over the place. Then, I remembered how someone had once said that wherever those plants are present, no other life can be present. It was only then that I realised the forest is never growing back.

It's awful to acknowledge the truth as it is. But, with hope, I made it to today. Hoping; the forest would come back. And, despite the fact that I know now it will never come back, I don't feel so bad about it. All I'm really saying is that with a little bit of hope, I managed to believe in the impossible. Despite whether or not you're sitting there wondering what on Earth I am ranting on about, I'm basically trying to tell you that, from experience, I've found that anything can be possible if you at least open your mind to it. There certainly is a light at the end of the tunnel! It's not just a saying.. it's perfectly true.. and I really hope others can see it like I have!

I've made it to today, to having as good a life as I do.. and I don't think I would have gotten here if I had continuously given up on the days ahead, without sparing just a single thought for the opportunities that lay beyond. Or, if I hadn't given life a chance. Given time, some time. With no idea what was in store for me, all of my life, I ended up here. It all worked out in the end!

I want to thank you for taking your time to read this, and for making it to this sentence without leaving the page before first reading what I had to say. I'm unsure if others feel the same as I do... or, if even, others understand what I am trying to say. As usual, thank you for the +1's and comments. They couldn't be appreciated any more than they already are.

Of course, I would love to hear from my readers; to know what you think and any ideas or suggestions you may have :)

May the 4th be with you all guys! Okay, so my next one is a tribute to my big sister - whom is celebrating her birthday today. I wrote it yesterday while I was out and about. As many of ye might recall, this is one of the most difficult weeks of the year for us, with Michael's birthday and anniversary - but Caroline's birthday just slots in there, and I thought it would be nice to pull together some words just for her. So I hope you appreciate the name choice, I had a nice wee giggle for myself. Happy Birthday, Caroline.. This is for you. ♥♥♥ Fan-tastic Take the following words, And bring them with you through your life. I want you to know you’re a fantastic person: Sister, mother, daughter and wife.

Christmas 2014

Hey guys! Merry Christmas to you all, and I really hope ye all had a great one! I still can't believe 2014 is almost over.. But I won't start ranting on about it again, don't worry. Instead, I just wanted to catch up on a few things I've fallen back on over the past few months. Between the blog, my personal writing, and the life that I keep subtly bringing into context with my blog posts. Firstly, "Metaphoric Ends" was a complete hit, Katherine loved it.. which made me very happy, I might add. :) We generally grow to love the people we can't. But despite the inconvenience, we still love them. Katherine is one of those people.. ♥ Also... I had completely forgotten about this, and I cannot believe I did! Back in November, the President of Ireland, Michael D, Higgins, came to my national school to celebrate a centenary... Considering he too is a poet, as a gift, the organisers put together a collage of poems written by locals. Two of my personal poems ...

Endorphins

Hello again, I know it hasn't been too long since my last update.. But ever since I put "Daymare" on the site, I've felt a little uneasy.. I'm trying to find the right words to explain it, but I can't. Daymare has a certain dark quality to it that has created a negative atmosphere on the blog.. and, for that reason, I want to change it. Of course, I can't recant my post.. I mean, I could delete it, obviously.. But that's not what I mean. I can't undo what is written. Daymare has to be one of my favourite pieces, mostly because it hits something inside that I can't even put into words. Yes, wordless... that's unusual for me! Anyway, I did say I was posting poetry that sort of reflects my life as it currently is.. So with that in mind, here's my next one. I wrote Endorphins while waiting for two of my college mates to meet me for project work. It was a Sunday and the weather was lovely.. The sun was on my face, there was a light...
