Hey you guys:) It's been a while! So a lot has changed! My life has evolved in these past few months. My values have changed. Things going on in my life! I got accepted into a Masters programme all the way on the other side of the world. I had to defer it, then I got a new job and applied for another. I am beginning to feel more and more like an adult. I'm a tad scared, yet, ready as ever to take on this new world with profound excitement within me.

I have picked up new skills, and grew tremendously creative. I am learning how to play the guitar and have learned a lot of new chords. I'm learning how to Fingerpick now. One thing is for sure though. I'm now constantly getting that itch whenever I am absent from my guitar. Even within a single day, after one period of playing the guitar--I yearn to hold it and play songs on it again. Humorously, I'm actually getting that itch in me as I'm writing this post!

These days, I have grown more confident in myself. I'm exercising more frequently and have been seeing results, and am gleeful about that. I am still getting bouts of loneliness and self-doubt, but am dealing with it always--adamant to let my innate optimism save my conscience daily.

But one thing is for sure, this one thing in my life hasn't changed a bit these past few months. My reliance and love for music. The comfort I feel toward it ongoing and stronger as ever. I have even rediscovered some of the artists I listened to often in the earlier years, such as Coldplay, Oasis, Avril or the Jonas Brothers? Well I have to admit, their early tracks are amazing.

So here is a bit of what's getting me going these days:
