Screen Shot 2015-08-23 at 9.36.44 PMI seem to have forgotten long days and short nights. They made me, molded me and accepted me with all my cuts and bruises, strengths and flaws, shines and darkness. I am here, still.

She came back to me to remind me of her, that she never left, her bags are still in the lobby, the car has not been started and breakfast is cold. mould.

She is still here but has no resentment towards me. How could she, I am because she was. Ubuntu

This spirit is carefully crafted with different weird exotic eccentric wires, cables missing and nets hanging from one end to another. But one thing’s for sure, I am here. Different. Grown but let me not ever forget.

Now many suns have set and moons shun. It’s been a long journey, past and present currently exist and under my feet a new country, land, sky and space but one thing in common between then and now….me.

Let me never forget but never dwell, remember…to appreciate.
