When tomorrow starts without me
And I'm not there to see,
If the sun should rise and find your eyes
All filled with tears for me.

Pretending is an art that's second nature with me, but don't be fooled. For God's sake don't be fooled.
I give the impression that I am secure,

I visited my cousin today in her new home. It's quite lovely - located in a little coastal village at the mouth of our beautiful harbour, right on the beachfront. She had always wanted to live by the sea and has finally realised her dream. Sitting there today, I thought how much I would love to...

Let go of who you think you need to be and just be who you actually are. Being true to yourself is the smartest thing you can ever do. You don’t have to be better than everybody else and the only expectations you should live up to are the ones you expect of yourself.
Don’t change so people...
