life's like an hourglass glued to the table

Know how things seem fun for a while, then you forget all about them? Or get caught up in too many other things?

Yeah.

December was...eventful. I was quite pleasantly surprised one Sunday morning, which was just the beginning of two weeks of the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, all at the same time. Christmas without Charlie, and slightly different from our usual, as dad's family were all over the place. Good, all the same. Laughs, presents, food. New Year's was memorable, to say the least. Again, different - a park (and in high heels, too...) to watch fireworks. And now, we're already a month into the new year. Today, someone else left. But on the bright side, I now have two dresses and a top, yaay!

It's all about time, though, isn't it. You're in that moment and it feels like you have so many more, that this isn't at all going to come to an end anytime soon. Until it does and you're left yearning, wondering how come it feels like forever when it's only been a few weeks, and how those moments seem now to have gone by so damn quickly.

A watch, one that stops time. A teleporter. A desert island (or maybe a log cabin in the mountains...).

These are the things I want right now. In other words, to be left alone, just us, without having to worry about the rest of the world.

To stop the sand in that hourglass. Just for a little while.
