A garden that's bursting into life...



Do you think we'll ever get to live the life we always thought we would? The life which seems so within reach, yet somehow miles away? The life she envisioned for me when I was a mere child? The very possibility of it, to this day, makes my body shiver with excitement, with ecstasy. What if it comes true? What if destiny guides me down a path towards the dream I dream? What if life unfolds in ways I cannot even phantom and suddenly I find myself exactly where I always wanted to be? Needed to be? It's as if all these questions are part of this profound realisation that I am more in limbo than I've ever been, and that I'm happier than I ever thought I could be, despite, or perhaps because of every single mistake I made during the course of my remarkably convincing portrayal of a boy reaching for his wildest dreams.

If you give my words another listen, you will hear that my voice is just a disguise, and that if you close your eyes, you shall see me by your side. We can laugh at those who laugh at us, because we know that none of them have ever felt this way. Every single song takes our breath away, for words cannot conjure where we are, and how far we still might go.
