Changes (:

I'm back from the states.
started a new term.

Celebrated a couple of birthdays,
watched a number of good shows
and hung out with loads of great friends.

Everything seems pretty constant.

But, not everything is.

I've also been through a breakup
realised that I have a medical condition
and learnt what family means.

Someone important told me this story;
too lengthy for me to retell.
But in essense it taught me one thing.
"It could be good, it could be bad."

The number of things that I came back to, all saw changes.
Even my dog changed.
Even the estate I lived in changed.
Habits changed, people changed.

Actually, people who should never change,
whereas those who shouldn't, have.

Despite these changes that I seldom adapt well too,
I came out with 2 invaluable things.

Priceless friends and a valuable secret.
Some things are just worth giving everything up for.

This isn't meant to be a sad entry of sorts.
In fact, I'm pretty pleased with what's happened so far.

I'm going to work hard to achieve something,
for myself,
my family and my *secret.

*secret - in reference to a pact.

This girl knows that this secret is worth fighting to protect.
This secret means the world to her.
This secret is what will drive her.

xoxo,
Sarah.
