i'd like to write a book of stories.
a book of short, happy stories. something that touches the heart and makes you feel comforted and warm all over.
none of the heavy, intense, analytical or political stuff.
just light-hearted, amusing and beautiful tales.
that would give anyone hope for tomorrow.


i'm embarking on my honours thesis soon. it all seems very daunting and scary. i've yet to even figure out what i want to write it on, much less begin drafting a proposal to the department. the war on terror and nuclear proliferation are all topics that sound extremely manly and big. and serious and heavy. and all of the above. i hope i can keep my head above the water and i hope i can formulate some kind of argument soon!

the new semester is starting. new opportunities, new beginnings.
i want these. i want to be renewed, refreshed and ready to leave my old self behind, to be a better, a different person. to be loved and to love in return, in the right way.

i want to run away.




think happy thoughts =)
