No one tells you this
But great things in life come slow
At their private pace.

It’s been 2 weeks since I returned to my home town of Sunderland. 2 weeks.
That’s all it took to feel as though the last 4 months have been a dream. Of course you still have the collection of memories and the ridiculous amounts of photos on your phone to refer back to, but as time dwindles on and you settle into home life once again, the novelty of returning home soon disappears.
Not to sound like a Debbie Downer here mind it’s not all bad.
Little things I took for granted which were a miss abroad, are soon very much appreciate on return. The highlight of course reuniting with family and friends. These relationships are perpetual, bonds are still as strong from when you first said your goodbyes. Infact, nothing at home really does change. People still go about their everyday lives as normal and the city still looks…

Here is how much travelling can help you. A friend of mine just wrote a post about it that needs re-blogging
As my time in New Zealand is coming to an end, I’m reflecting over the last 4 months with a heavy heart knowing that I’m leaving this beautiful country in a few days. Four months isn’t really a great length of time, but I feel like so much of myself has changed since being here, all for the better. I hope anyway.
I didn’t really know what to expect from New Zealand, plenty of people told me it was one of the best places they’d visited. Beautiful scenery with warm and welcoming people, but until I experienced it for myself, I felt like I was going into the unknown. Now I can see why people fall in love with this country, it certainly lived up to it’s expectations and more. Don’t get me wrong, I can’t wait to see friends and family back home, but the country and people have…

Hidden from the world
Behind some ruins, dark and cold
Have found you alone.
You were crying loud
Shouting at the world around
Eager trespassers.
We all change over the years and same happens with the language. What’s left are the lessons worth sharing with the world
I’ve been reflecting upon pop language, or catch phrases.
Common catch phrases today:
- Baby daddy/baby mommy (single parents)
- Bae (before anyone else/anything else)
- FOMO (fear of missing out)
- Troll (the updated, viral version of the essential stalker)
- #hashtag (anyone not familiar… never mind)
- Lit (very intoxicated – so, not that much has changed)
This led me to examine what’s changed over the years. I have changed distinctly since I was that young. For example, I grew up with such phrases as:
- “Easy come, easy go” (not necessarily good),
- “Do as I say, not as I do”
- “Trust and obey”
And a little later on:
- Make love not war
- Flower Power
- God is dead
- Busted (You got some ‘splaining to do*)
- Up in Smoke (original plan diverted)
- “This tape will self-destruct in five seconds”** (something to be kept secret)
- “Book’em, Dan-O” *** (coolest phrase ever – to be interjected whenever possible)
Later still, I…
