When I was 25, just out of school, I was fearless and wanted to rule the world.

When I was 28, I decided the world might be too big to rule and perhaps I would be happy with something much smaller.

When I was 30, I decided that it was the beginning of a new era, for more self discovery and finding out more of what I wanted out of life.

I’m turning 35 next year (not yet 34 now though), and it’s come full circle. I decide that I want to rule the world once again. A little wiser, a little older.

In the meantime, I’ve decided that we decide to be happy

Non-sequitur: We cooked a pot of green curry and had guests over for our usual sunday dinners. To spice things up a little, we put 3 chilli-padi into the curry. What are the chances that you will get a chilli padi from a random ladle of curry in the pot?

Why are there so many songs about rainbows?

Too often, too many questions left unanswered; where, when, who, what, how’s. And the ever elusive why.

Chance encounters that turn into great friendships. Deep relationships you never thought would end, that fade. Dreams that turn to reality that don’t quite yet fit our expectations.
Situations we never imagined, that turn out better than we ever thought possible.

But there is no perfect situation, no model answers. Just the cards we are dealt and how we manage. And when fortune knocks, you answer.

You know you have to seize the moment, there and then. Say the things you need to say, do the things your heart tells you are right. Because when that moment is over, it’s gone for good.

That’s all we have.

Moments.

There’s one right here, right now.

That’s why there are so many songs about rainbows. You want to ride the rainbow, but sometimes, some rainbows are not meant for us. And you just have to let them be other people’s rainbows.
