Bonds are a funny thing- it transcends time, space all of the other good stuff. Kinda like how when we find a new old friend on facebook- its a mildly surreal feeling, in particular when said person is from a life past.

One supposes that this girl is at the age where her friends are mostly getting engaged, married or having kids. The engagements and weddings are mainly happy, frantic affairs; busy and anxious but rarely overly dramatic.

It never fails to baffle this girl to ponder how it is that the year is almost at its end. Didn’t it just start a while ago? Sure seems that way from where she is standing.
Christmas came and went amidst the mad rush to sort the office out (for 12 people no less) and scrambling [...]
