Sorrento Moon (I Remember) 🎵 by Les Buck, the Down Under Buck

This song does not look back. It stands still and lets memory pass through.

Tina Arena sings as if holding something fragile— not to keep it, but to remember its weight.

Sorrento Moon is not nostalgia. It is a coastline of the soul: salt, wind, light, and the quiet knowledge that what mattered will not return— yet never truly leave.

🎧 A song where tenderness becomes courage.

All the hardships I’ve been through just to be with you; the rain still stands in our way. Every raindrop felt on our skin— although we’re both drenched, we find happiness in the storm. As we dance along in synch under these crying clouds, we never fail to seek hope. To seek hope in this hopeless romance. We were both so happy. We were so hopeful. But now, I look forward to it alone. It was such a beautiful storm.

Original song: Ref:rain by Aimer

Our love mine all mine, nothing in the world is mine for free but my love is mine all mine.

How does that work? Is it true and possible that you can have something of yours without it being taken away? How does one love? And how does one make sure that their love will never be taken away from them?

People always say that there’s a thin line between love and hate. I’ve felt it before, to love one so much that when the time comes for us to separate it was hard. It wasn’t a romantic relationship, but it was a beloved relationship that connected both of us to a level one never will never understands. I wanted to never be apart, but fate decided that it was time to cut off the red thread at once.

Vienna, Billi Joel (1977)

Ahh, to find a lovely piece, encased in 3 minutes or so that finally hits home.

Most of my mid 20s, I am constantly living for “what’s next”. I’ve been obsessed with making sure that the “now” is settled because in my head, today would always lead to what is tomorrow. 

It’s true though, but it came with a price - SANITY.

This meant that being in that kind of thought makes me feel like i’m always in a limbo. Nothing to go from here. Nowhere to start. Been thinking outside the box as well - does this really what life has to be? Is it all process? Evolution?

Nobody said this was life for us. Whoever set the standard anyway?

Then there’s this song. it came to me in a very confusing moment. A snippet of a video, then I realized: Whatever is for you couldn’t escape you. It will always meet you at a certain point, it’s not always mathematics. What’s for you, will always mean to find you. 

The hardest thing to accept though - what if what’s meant for you is not something you wanted? 

But, it may surprise you - what if what’s meant for you is...something greater than you ever dreamed for yourself?
