Attack

Strings. White. Definiteness. Life.

Autumn. Trees. Leaves. Falling slowly. Reddish-brown against the pavement.

Changes. Clouds. Cold. Night. Solitude. Raindrops. Silence. Deafening silence. Lights. Darkness. Lights. Blindness. Ignorance. Uncertainty. Irrelevance. Timelessness. Truth.

Indefiniteness. Impermanence. Sunsets. Seasons. Snowflakes. Frost and mistletoes. Wistfulness. Could've-beens. Should've beens. Words unsaid. Pills untaken. Quick hello's. Quicker goodbyes. A single tear. One last hurt.

A white flag. An easy surrender.

A broken thread.

white flag? for what? surrender with life's indefiniteness and impermanence? to surrender that you are now beyond your comfort zones and things all too familiar to you?

i can imagine how it's both scary and exciting at the same time. and i admire your courage to welcome these new adventures, these unknown paths leading to uncertain destinations. must be an exhilarating ride. i'm happy for you, having this moment :)

or whatever the case may be, i'm certain you'll find your way to where you want to be.

That's a better reading of the entry, though. I was rather envisioning it in a morbid sense.

Bluntly speaking, I had the feeling the other day that I was about to die. Soon. Thus, this.

But as you said, "whatever the case may be, [you're] certain [I'd] find my way." It may not be exactly where I want to end up in. But, it is all part of life's inevitabilities.
