The Life and Times of S

Natural Highs and Goodbyes

As another chapter of my life comes to an end, and I sit alone in my favourite corner of the house, once again. I think.

I hate endings.
Because I hate goodbyes.


On a completely separate note, I thought I'd share with you something my very good friend, S., sent me Friday morning. It was very co-incidental with my Wednesday night post. The thing S. sent me was a generalization though. So I added a few things that I thought were fitting. And I bolded the ones I love the most.

Here goes:
