If you had known me in the past and are now wondering what happened to me, let me fill you in.
Nothing.
Maybe we studied together or worked together or just hung out together. Maybe we were just in the same place at the same time, and then I disappeared making you wonder where I had gone to and what I was doing.
Nothing.
I didn't go anywhere or do anything or become anyone.
I'm not even the proverbial shadow of my former self.
I'm nobody.
So if you envied me back then or still do for some reason, you can stop now.
Your life is infinitely better than mine.
You are infinitely better than I am, you always were.
It's now time to love the person you're with and stop wishing you could be as lucky as me.
I was never lucky and I never will be.
I'm just someone who's trying to make sense of the cards I've got.
And with every card that I lay down and each new card that I pick up, I continue to write and rewrite the story of my life.

awwww... I am not much of a cards man but here's to the 'King of Spades'. Er hope that's a good card. Or, at least, a handsome king ;)
Life is a moveable feast and who knows what's round the corner?
I have never known you. I found your blog by accident and loved the pictures of all the desserts you baked and started to read...And then I started to read it for the small pieces of you I could see through the clouds and liked. I wish you well, and I hope you get the best card of your life soon!
happiness is a warm bun.
:)
I always say to myself, it's time to love the person I'm with...that's me, I'm the person I'm with.
i wish the best in ur life, keep the faith... :)
