This weekend was a roller coaster to say the least.
Saturday was a very busy day.. my friend and I went to the Affordable Vintage Fair in Cambridge, where I purchased 3 jumpers!! (I will post pictures of these once I have found the time to photograph them!!!)
Lunch then followed.. I know, sounds extremely boring, but I thought I would treat myself to a healthy stuffed pepper and I was very proud of the results!
It almost felt like summer sitting in the sunshine in my room, the window open and a light breeze drifting in, Relient K's album playing, whilst eating this summery meal!
Heaven.
The evening came round very fast, and it was suddenly time to head back into town to have dinner at my friends house and then whizz off to a gig.
However, I regret to say that I didn't take any pictures.. I think I got too caught up in watching the bands, consequently forgetting to actually take some piccies..
But I think sometimes it's nice to just watch the show and have the memories in your mind, because they will stay with you forever as well and sometime memories can be more vivid than pictures.
Anyway, Sunday then popped it's head round the corner (the days are going too fast right now!) and I ordered my ticket for The Secret Garden Party, which I am far too excited about!!
I know.. all sounds pretty good right now..
But disaster struck, I went off for my weekly food shop this afternoon. Before heading into Sainsburys, I decided to take some money out of the cash machine, but it swallowed my card!!! I couldn't get it out!
This is something I have always been worried about, but never had it happen before (until now).
This then meant I could not go food shopping, due to having no credit card and a lack of money in my purse.
(I have now canceled my card and a new one will arrive in the next few days.)
The balance of life has been restored.. something bad has to happen when too many good things happen. I do not like things like that happening as much as the next person, but I believe it keeps you grounded.
And yes, that is my important life lesson I have learnt, you have to take it in your stride because that is what makes you stronger. You cannot let things like that drag you down.
But yet again, you still need people to fall on, which is why am very thankful for my very supportive friends and family as I believe I probably would have lost my mind without them!
I shall leave you with a song that means a lot to me at the moment.
As fast as time seems to be going right now, the times that I feel down seem to go very slow. Every hour, minute and second seems to last forever and that is the most painful thing because you just don't know what to do.
This song just helps me realise that I am not alone and the people that really care are always there for you and will do anything to 'get you back to good'.
Jonathan Clay - Back To Good
This is the only video I can find of this song
Take a While
And Take a Breath
Let yourself down slow
Gather up your memories
Hold on to what you know
And everything's been moving way too fast
You thought that you found something that would last
My new band love, the rather unsettlingly (?!) named Sick Puppies
I dont mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
But I dont like illusions I cant see
Them clearly
I dont care, no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually what you'll do
I dont mind
I dont care
As long as you're here
Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's all the same
Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
But in-between it always seems too long
For certain
But I have the skill, yeah
I have the will, to breathe you in while I can
However long you stay is all that I am
I dont mind, I dont care
As long as you're here
Go ahead and tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
And do it all over again
It's always the same
Wrong or Right
Black or White
If I close my eyes
Its all the same
In my life
The compromise
I'll close my eyes
Its all the same
Go ahead say it
You're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are now
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same
I went on a mini adventure today, on the outskirts of Cambridge and into Cherry Hinton.
We found a little park with lots of ducks in, and I managed to make friends with 3 little ducks. :)
It was refreshing to see the first signs of spring, the buds starting to appear on trees and everything seems to almost be coming back to life again :)
Walking past this was slightly unsettling though..
I do wonder what the Chadac group is though... if anyone knows let me know!!
