EXPLORING SECOND LIFE
Here I am again, sitting alone, on a table set for one.
My table may appear empty but I have been served a bowl full of beautiful memories.
As I contemplate the horizon before me, one by one, the beautiful faces, the beautiful smiles,
and the beautiful words of those many people that once beautified my life with their presence
and their love, become present to me at this very moment.
Bitter-sweet spoonfuls I take, stirring in me laughter and tears. Why wouldn't tears be part of the
ingredients which my memory bowl has been served with?
Aren't tears an essential part of life?...
♫
"Midnight, not a sound from the pavement
Has the moon lost her memory?
She is smiling alone
In the lamplight, the withered leaves collect at my feet
And the wind begins to moan
Memory, all alone in the moonlight
I can dream of the old days
Life was beautiful then
I remember the time I knew what happiness was
Let the memory live again..."
♫
It wasn't too long ago when we used to smile together.
When you held my hand and I held yours.
When we looked into each other eyes
and shared our happiness and our sadness.
It wasn't too long ago when we walked together
and dreamt of similar dreams.
When we were so thankful to be part of each other's lives,
when I called you my friend
as you called me yours...
♫
"Every street lamp seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
Someone mutters and the street lamp sputters
And soon it will be morning
Daylight, I must wait for the sunrise
I must think of a new life
And I mustn't give in
When the dawn comes, tonight will be a memory too
And a new day will begin..."
♫
Now, my journey continues taking my present and my future steps alone.
You are no longer in my life. One day, you simply opened your wings and flew to different skies.
We no longer shared the same dreams. We no longer call each other "my friend"...
Dedicated with all my heart to all my long-gone friends.
♫
"Burnt-out ends of smoky days
The stale, cold smell of morning
A street lamp dies, another night is over
Another day is dawning
Touch me, it's so easy to leave me
All alone with the memory
Of my days in the sun
If you touch me, you'll understand what happiness is
Look, a new day has begun..."
♫
Today I woke up not feeling like much. I just wanted to stay in bed and shelter my emotions
under the warmth of my covers. I have been doing that for the four past days.
I just don't feel the strength to get up and go on with my day. But I push myself to do it,
and so I do. But honestly, I would rather stay in the safety of my warm covers where I feel that
nothing can touch me. Now, you may not know this but I am not always crying under those blankets.
Many, many times I am smiling.
I find such sweet comfort and warmth there just like my mother's hug used to feel.
Today, after having to push myself time after time to do life, I decided to visit Cica Ghost's
sim Memories by Cica Ghost (Moderate). I was there for a good long time but could only come up
with these three pictures (sorry inspiration for not feeling you today).
Cica's new sim is as always, beautiful like many of her past sims that have been created very simple.
And as I always say, there is so much beauty in simplicity.
I am actually a bit upset that today my mood couldn't give the deserved justice to Cica Ghost's talent.
I owe her one for sure.
Maybe next time, when I wake up not feeling the need to stay under my warm blankets.

And while I push myself through these days, I keep finding things that make me smile
because after all, life is beautiful... even on my hardest days.
