Trapped between the truth,
And the consequence. (8)
Chill your beans; I know it's not 'Topless Tuesday', but I've been working really hard on getting a 'beach body' for summer. So fuck Tuesday.
How about you @Boothers? Any other fitness freaks out there with a summer workout plan?
On a side note to appeal to a larger target audience; HOW FREAKING AWESOME IS DIABLO III?!
I find shelter,
In this way,
Undercover,
Hideaway. (8)
A complete stranger advised me to open up to the world and take off the mask... I think she was right. I thought I'd give it a shot.
I'm hurting a little. My life's not perfect, no ones is. I'm lucky to have a family who care about me, loyal friends, and go to a decent school.
But sometimes I miss my old life. I had to leave my home Dubai last year to move to England, and I left everything I had behind.
I left the girl I really loved... I never even told her how much I cared for her.
I left my 'wolfpack', my decade-old circle of best mates.
I left my real relationship with my Dad, as his job pulled him away.
If you've ever irrevocably moved home from a place you cherish and love, you'll understand. If you've ever had your closest friends vanish from your life because of circumstance, you'll understand. If you've ever been heartbroken, you'll understand. If you've ever had to go months and months again and again without seeing your dad, your role model, you'll understand. If you've ever had the misfortune to experience all four, then brother/sister, I feel for you.
I find it hard to talk to people about all this, because really, how many of you out there can relate? Sure, it's easy to read a brief description and imagine the feeling, but how can you ever really emphasize with someone until you've felt what they've felt? I know people who've had to move house; at least they're still somewhere nearby. I know people who've fell out with friends; at least they didn't disappear from your life. I know people who've suffered heartbreak; at least their lovers didn't vanish untimely. I know people who fight with their parents; at least you get to see them and be with them. How can anyone understand, unless they've felt it all, and all at once?
But I'm settling in well here. I made plenty of lovely friends, and I know how loyal and fun they all are. I've come to see the small town I live in as a hidden gem, it's really sorta beautiful. I love the school I go to, the subjects I've taken, and the staff and people are so welcoming. My martial arts and gyming really took off, and I found certain ways to distract myself from the shock of beginning a whole new life, and leaving an old one behind. People here don't really understand me... But I'm okay with that.
As scary as it is for me to hit that 'Publish' button, I think the stranger was right. It's not good to hide behind a mask of indifference. If it's crying on the shoulder of a friend, or writing about it on some online website, people should always find a way to share.
