Never Say Never

So yes, I'm going to try and update this dusty little blog a little more often.

First, an awesome song by the Fray, which are one of the greatest bands. Such meaningful lyrics.



I first heard this song on the Brothers movie trailer, which by the way is a really cool movie with the gorgeous Jake Gyllenhaal, but I digress.

Such an emotional song.

Some things we don't talk about
Better do without
Just hold a smile
We're falling in and out of love
The same damn problem

Together all the while
You can never say never
Why we don't know when
Time and time again
Younger now then we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Picture you're the queen of everything
As far as the eye can see
Under your command
I will be your guarian
When all is crumbling
Steady your hand

You can never say never
Why we don't know when
Time and time again
Younger now then we were before

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

We're falling apart
And coming together again and again
We're coming apart
But we hold it together
Hold it together, together again

Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go
Don't let me go

Things have been happening so fast in my life. Sometime too fast. I don't know if I'm ready to move on to new things. Sometimes I wish I could be 17 again, when life was so much easier back then, and life didn't seem all that complicated.

It seems a lifetime ago that I first came to the UK. 17 years old, fresh out of high school/ junior college. And now, 22, and in another 6 months or so, might be leaving the UK, maybe even for good.

I don't know if I'm ready to leave. A lot of life experiences have been had here. Good memories, good friends. It's going to be pretty damn hard to leave it all behind. But then it never really was home, although it was a good substitute in the beginning.

Home. What they say is true. You never truly leave home. It always is, and will be, a part of you.

But do I want to forge my own path out into the great unknown and create my own adventures? Sure, I do.

Conflicting emotions and thoughts.

  2. Argh I accidently deleted my last comment!

    The Fray was a very popular choice for teenage angsty Rik hehe. It's all about "How to Save A Life", I still love that song.

    Don't go back to Singapore forever, and don't forget about any of us! If you do go will miss you!- but hopefully will come to visit there at some point when I'm staying in Thailand :) But the UK should always be your second home!
