AS swiftly as you entered my life, you also left and here I sit with notes on notes with all things I never got to say to you. I could let the notes die a slow death – resurrecting them when I want a good cry (like last night). But what is heartbreak if not…

And Now I…
And now I…. Wish for your joy when I see a pair of magpies; Bring up your name in every conversation I have; Save cheesy poetry to share with you some day; Want to be one of the reasons you smile every day; Read your horoscope and match it to mine; Long for you on…
Life Update – Happy Panda Is Back (Maybe?)
A recent flutter of notifications from WordPress (informing me that people are still reading what I wrote years ago) reminded me that I had (or have? Is this perpetual?) a blog. Once a pride point in my life, this space has been dormant for a while now. It is not that I haven’t wanted to…
