A BITING WIND

Winter has well and truly set in, the wind seems to be enjoying biting away at any piece of bare flesh it hits as I step out of the front door morning or night. It feels as though everything is biting now, everything seems annoying or frustrating as I am so eager to finish University and begin the next chapter, to explore, to see and to listen. I am so looking forward to these things however it means I keep forgetting to live in the present but sometimes the present is not as nice as the future. Not when in the future I look forward to hearing stranger's life stories, to tasting the homemade food of a Michelin star chef whilst working in an old water mill in the backs and beyond of rural France, to learning new crafts and skills, to loving each and every day and knowing that no two days will be the same. But I will bear the harshness of winter as my favourite season has passed now, the trees are almost bare and the leaves talk in the wind behind my back as I walk along.

...That was what I wrote last night, yet I feel different today, I can live in the present again as I know someone close to me is okay now. I hadn't been told anything was wrong, but I just knew.. I can't wait to be able to control what others call a "gift" ...

...but I know life keeps going by and I need to tune in to myself even more so..

In other, none bizarre news, I'm off to Exeter tomorrow and Ben Howard, shopping, meals out and sea air is on the menu as well as a fabulous time with the most wonderful friends a girl could ever ask for!
