becky61181@hotmail.com BioThought I'd change this a wee bit... I've changed I think, and so should my bio. As stated above I now reside in sunny Edinburgh, and it's cold. I do however originally hail from far away in the other end of the country in a lttle place called Cornwall, which the non-British among you wil probably never have heard of, but it's great. A land of sun, sea and surf, and I miss it so much sometimes it hurts. But life has taken me elsewhere, so here I am.
I guess you can never really get a sense of what a person is like from these things, and looing at a list of interests only gives you the slightest glimpse into what makes a person tick. But all those things begin to make up me.
Music is a massive part of my life. I love it. I love the way it can change your mood - lift you up, calm you down, make you cry, make you think.... and I love the way that it can reflect how you feel so much that you can't believe someone else once felt the way you feel. I find it difficult to relate to people who don't get obsessed with music, who don't get the way it can make you feel. I love to dance. I love that feeling of being out and hearing a song that you can't keep still to. I love my friends. The way that some of them have known me since we were tiny, and the way I'm still getting to know some of them. I think I take them for granted sometimes, and I want them to know how much they mean to me. And I love love. I think I've only ever been truly in love once, maybe twice. But, at the risk of quoting Take That, once you've tasted love, you won't ever settle for anything less. I settled, and it doesn't work. So now I'm just waiting and hoping it will happen again, for real this time. And until then, I'm just gonna do my best in this world, carry on listening to beautiful music, carry on being the best friend I can, and carry on smiling.
Don't frown because you never know who's falling in love with your smile.
"When we were children, we used to think that when we were grown up we would no longer be vulnurable. But to grow up is to accept vulnurability...to be alive is to be vulnurable."
All the beauty and joy we meet on earth represent "only the scent of a flower we have not found, the echo of a tune we have not heard, news from a country we have not yet visited." And faith is, in the end, a kind of homesickness - for a home we have never visited but have never once stopped longing for.
"Someone is there, I realised. Someone is watching life at it unfolds on this planet. More, someone is there who loves me. It was a startling feeling of wild hope, a feeling so overwhelming that it seemed fully worth risking my life on."
In an attempt to escape reality
I put on the sunglasses,
Because my eyes were dazzled by life.
I grew used to their comforting dimness
And it was only when, many years later,
I remembered I was wearing them,
And found the courage to take them off
That I realised what I had missed.
