Hope.

I've seen the tears and the heartache
And I 've felt the pain
I've seen the hatred
And so many lives lost in vain

And yet through this darkness
There's always a light that shines through
And takes me back home, takes me back home

All of the promises broken
And all of the songs left unsung
Seem so far away
As I make my way back to you

You gave me faith
And you gave me a world to believe in
You gave me a love to believe in
And feeling this love
I can rise up above
And be strong, and be whole once again 

So, i'm not sure exactly which day does Mother's day falls on, but i'll be celebrating mine this Sat with my family over a nice dinner. It may not seem like much to you, but to sit down together and have dinner as a family for me is pretty difficult. Everyone's either too busy leading their own lives, or bogged down with work literally. I used to be able to have dinner with my family everyday when i was much younger but over the years, a whole lot of stuff happened.

I'm not ashamed to say that my parents are divorced. And no, i'm not saying that i approved of their decision, but over the years, i've learnt to live with you and deal with the issues that i've faced. Throughout the whole process, we've grown a lot, individually and as a family.

I was forced to grow up, to take on responsibilities that a 'normal' growing child shouldn't have to worry about at that age. In short, i went to hell and back. But i'm glad to say now that the worst is over, and although things cannot be restored to it's original state, we're still as close as ever. Occasionally, my dad would pop by to chill with us and on major occasions like this, we'll have a nice dinner outside. And by 'we', it includes my Mom, not just my brother and I.

Sometimes it takes waves of problems and situations, just so we'll learn a very important lesson in life. I've learnt that by the hard way and conquered it! (:

MIA.

I know that i've been MIA-ing for the longest time ever. A thousand apologies, i've not been home most of the time recently and i find blogging from my phone a hassle which explains that lack of entries. I will probably do a proper update tomorrow about some of the stuff that i got from Sephora the other day. Loving my new brow shader!
