In everyone's lives, one is bound to meet something beautiful, something of the immaterial sort. A moment in time, one that we would want to hold still forever, freeze the time. But soon it all becomes but a memory.

But does it really matter? For change is the constant. There is a chinese saying: 不求天长地久，只要曾经拥有. Though usually applied in love, this saying can actually be meaningful in many other ways. Not requiring it to last forever, only asking for once having had it. Living for the moment. Then life goes on.

Ahead I see many changes in life. How people will soon move on in life, heading in different directions. A crossroad. We are just loitering around, delaying the inevitable, yet we all know what is to come.

A friend mirrored my thoughts. Words has its weakness, how some thoughts are just so hard to pen down. But his one word summarises the whole situation. Bittersweet. Yes, it may mean losing in a selfish way, but to see that people are growing, you have to feel happy for them. For you love them.

A poem I learnt from literature lessons in secondary 2 in the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, orignally penned by Robert Frost

Nature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.

Beautifully sums up what I have been trying to express.

And so as much as changes go, it is time for a change in url. In my old blog, I wrote in many various styles, finding my way through teenage life. Still very much a confused teen today, but with a clearer picture of what I want to write.

To the new site.
