Awwww I already told you you're wonderful but I'll tell you again: you're wonderful!

Love it. I can recall those few beautiful winter days we had this year very well. This is a wonderful way to remember them! The title fits this picture perfectly, I think. The crisp, cold loneliness in the front, and the people way in the background (if they're people). It makes the title feel like the wishful thinking of someone who just had to part.

Parting is such a difficult subject! There's no way of telling if you'll ever part ways with someone, even if you do not want it. On the other hand, your opinion might change! I've so often wished I'd forever stay with someone (not necessarily in a romantic way), and after that been very glad never to have to see that person again. The longer you know someone, the more you get to know about them. And of course, that's not always a good thing. Your words: Fate, madness, love, the wish to be free. All those things can get in the way! All in all, it's a miracle that we still trust people, love people. When you want to get rid of love, you can't. Whenever you desperately want to love, there's nothing but emptiness inside. Again, that's not always about romantic love, it's about friendship, family, the entire world around you. Although, come to think of it, I have always been completely in love with the world around me. The little things that make me smile. There's no way I'll ever let that slip away. It's what makes me human, isn't it? No parting from that.

And I salute the beautiful gloomy mood, which brings the best ideas.

"Your joy is your sorrow unmasked.
And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears.
And how else can it be?
The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. " - Kahlil Gibran

It's been such a long time, I'm so glad you submitted a new work too it's very pretty!

I think you are quite mr. positive, generally.

The thing that struck me about Eline Vere, is that she has many of the same doubts I have. Though I love deeply and sincerely, I can never allow myself to be completely happy with it, I'm always afraid, somehow, that I am making a huge mistake by loving the person that I love. Always slightly afraid that this love isn't enough, that I cannot feel enough for him, that there will be someone else that I will be able to love more. And I'm always afraid to hurt the person that I love by letting myself slip away. I don't know if this makes any sense. I do love with a passion, only it never lasts very long before I leave.

Hey Kaycee! Thank you!

Thanks Omar. Did I already tell you that I will not move to Sydney after all? It's a pity, because I would really have loved living there!

yeh you have ...no worries you're not missing anything here, it's just a monotonous work life. Good luck with your future projects!
