Defying Gravity

So if you can't find me, look to the western sky

Has someone told me lately,

Everyone deserves a chance to fly

And if I'm flying solo, at least I'm flying free,

To those who ground me,

Take a message back from me:

Tell them how I am defying gravity

I'm flying high defying gravity

And soon I'll match them in renown.

And nobody, in all of Oz,

No wizard that there is or was,

Is ever gonna bring me down.

If you have not heard Idina Menzel sing this song, you are really missing out. The power in her voice is unbelievable and I can listen to that track on loop because it is just so amazingly good. Each time she reminds me that we are all free to reach for the sky I can feel a part of me being unlocked. A...hopeful part of me which still wishes that life will be brilliant and dreams will turn to reality.

I hope that part exists in all of you too. It's like that soft-toy animal you have on your bed, probably having outlived its usefulness but still...good to know it is there and not lost.

An attempt at a happy and sweet post

Damn all these important decisions that have to be made. I can't even be left to decide whether I am allowed to go out at night. How can I be left to decide where to go and what to do for the next ten years?

I'm reading around people's blogs and Facebook posts, not to mention chatting with lots of people and I guess everyone is equally worried with the "what now?" question. At least for the girls la. For the guys its more of "what's in two years?"

Alright, I do not know how much comfort a girl who cannot be left to decide the colours of her hangers without fully justifying it can offer but I thought I'd make this post happyish to encourage all of you out there who chance on my blog and need to make tough decisions. My mother showed me this quote when I was in p6:

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change;

Courage to change the things I can;

And wisdom to know the difference.

I know not all of us out there believe in God but my prayer for all of us is one and the same. I know my DSTA form is due in less than 15 hours and I have not yet decided whether to submit it, but I do know that whichever path I take, I am headed for a fun time so long as I do not lose myself. I do not know what each of you are going through, my dearest friends, but I do hope that you will be happy, content and stay the amazing people I know you guys are.

Perhaps we all feel like we are constantly trying to clean the lens of a scope to see through it at our future, only to realise the inner tube has dust in it. Scholarships, university, internships, careers...it's all a big mess for us all. However, keep the faith that, once in a while, enough of that dust in the tube will settle enough to help us see how far we each have come.

Good luck to all on their important decisions :D
