My ramblings and wanderings through life

  • I'm not sure if it is more stressful to settle in to an apartment, start a new job with very little knowledge of the course, or walk around at night as a single woman with streets filled with only men. Votes? The past two days have been filled with information about classes. It has definitely been much more useful than some of re other stuff, but my head is swimming. I spent two…

  • It is hard to believe that three days have already passed since leaving Japan and arriving in Abu Dhabi. The days have been a blur with information overload, shopping until dropping (literally) and adjustments mentally, physically and emotionally to a new culture and place. The best part of the whole situation at the moment is the hotel I am staying at. The Rotana Beach Hotel is lovely.The photo is of the ceiling in…

  • The rain poured downLike the tears on my faceI felt as if I was going to drownAs the taxi pulled away from your place Still my heart is breakingAs I long for your armsEvery bone is achingTo feel your sweet calm Everything is newI should be excited about itYet all I can think of is youWondering if I can make here fit If I knew that you are truly mineI could endure this…

  • Just a note to say that I have posted on Blogger regarding my “travel” to the UAE, but will soon return to “Going Mental” as Abu Dhabi becomes home… Enjoy the blogger version!!! -T

  • January 31, 2009 at 10:40am, I left Japan with this as my view from the airplane.February 1, 2009 at 7:45am, I awoke with a view of this: A new chapter of my life is beginning. It is bittersweet as I have left my heart in Japan, but I am also eager to try a new adventure. Today was an interesting day. More details on that to come soon as I will eventually write…

  • It’s all too much to bearThat each time I start to really careMy heart is rejected and brokenMemories are my only token I’ve questioned if God just hates meI’ve questioned if there is something I can’t seeI’ve questioned if it’s not me, then who?‘Cuz obviously, it’s not just you. All I want is to be loved and allowed to loveOf all things – time, space, location – for it to be aboveBecause I…

  • Fear of hurt, failure, disappointment, sadnessFear of the unknownFear of what might be or rather what might not be…Fear is what holds you back from love Despite the strong feelingsDespite the physical attractionDespite the spiritual connectionDespite these things you hold back from love How can you let it all go to waste?How can you let it all pass us both by?Why won’t you even give it a try?Why won’t you even give it…

  • There is so much I want to say to youAnd yet, I find it is not yet something I can do. There is so much I want to feelAnd yet, I find there are still pieces needing to heal. There is so much I want to knowAnd yet, I am not certain where to go. There is so much…and yet not enough. -T~January 11, 2009

  • Some words are meant to bring laughterSome words are meant to bring tearsSome words are meant to healSome words are meant to hurtSome words… are lacking in expressing enoughlackiing in accuracy of the feelings to be sharedlacking in hopelacking in encouragementlacking in …. love Words can be weaponsWords can be bridgesWords can be painfulWords can be upliftingWords can be … more than we will ever know or truly understand. -T~ January 11, 2009
