Another year you made a promise,Another chance to turn it all around.And do not save this for tomorrow,Embrace the past and you can live for now.
And I, will give the world to you.
Speak louder than the words before you,And give them meaning no one else has found.The role we play is so important,We are the voices of the underground.
And I, will give the world to you.
Say everything you've always wanted,Be not afraid of who you really are.Cause in the end we have each other,And that's at least one thing worth living for.
And I, will give the world to you.
A million suns that shine upon me,A million eyes, you are the brightest blue.Let's tear the walls down that divide us,And build a statue strong enough for two.
But let's, get back, to you,And I, will wait, for you.Cause I, would give the world,And I, would give the world,And I, would give the world to you.
This is the new year!This is the new year, a new beginning.You made a promise, you are the brightest.We are the voices, this is the new year.We are the voices, this is the new year.A new beginning, you made a promise.We are the voices, this is the new year!
As I lay in bed this Sunday morning watching episodes of Private Practice (my latest television addiction) with a bit of a cold I can't help but actually feel comfortable. Not just comfortable in my bed under the covers, but just comfortable in London. While stressful and emotional events are still happening (like my iPhone "disappearing" 9 days ago and learning that perhaps I trust people too easily because even as a nice person I still get burned) I don't feel like flying home to Canada every minute. I like London, it's just taken me almost 5 months to adjust. I'm hopeful for my future. Supply work is hard and it's a big adjustment for a new teacher, but I can see in myself how far I've come in terms of comfort in a classroom and handling children and situations at schools. I don't dread waking up in the morning and not knowing where I will be working that day. Obviously, it's still nice to have days booked in advance, any person who likes to be prepared and plan ahead would appreciate those, but I am learning to embrace my "surprise" call days, whether it be just for a new journey to a different part of a city or perhaps a new kind of school, like the all-girls school I visited last week.
I also have awesome trips to look forward to in the next few months. My London, Munich, and Paris adventure with my best friend Denise will commence in 12 days! I have an exciting train excursion trip to the South of France with my Mom at the beginning of April.
So maybe I don't have as many touristy adventures to write about now and perhaps I don't explore as much as I did at the beginning, but I'm enjoying my time here. If that means watching Private Practice episodes and other tv shows or movies on Netflix, or listening to music, or reading, or just playing cards and having good laughs with my roommates, does it matter? In a way I feel settled. And excited, especially about something that may just be too premature to share right yet. But I have hope, I have hope for love and friendships and a great 2013.
"Embrace the past and you can live for now". Everything we go through impacts our present self. If I hadn't of had all of the experiences and ups and downs, heart breaks and happy moments I have had, I wouldn't be exactly who I am today. "Be not afraid of who you really are" I like me. Even when I have had my doubts I still deep down believe things happen for a reason and what is meant to be will be. I feel there is a deeper meaning behind everything and even though that meaning may never be exactly clear to us I will always try to figure it out. Never stop thinking, never stop feeling, and never stop hoping for tomorrow.
And perhaps a blessing and meant to be moment in disguise, but I now have a white iPhone 5! I'm just waiting for service from my provider, because a replacement SIM card can take 24 hours to activate, or longer with a weekend, but very soon I will be back and fully functioning in the iPhone world. To all you doubters out there of my need for an iPhone, if I hadn't of gotten it yesterday at the place that I got it from than something perhaps meant to be or serendipitous wouldn't have happened. I'll keep you posted <3. For now, I'll just believe and hope and wish.
And I, will give the world to you.
