Kaleidoscope
My life is a Kaleidoscope of colours swirling; people, places, cultures, mixing together mingling with the pain the wretches at my soul as life changes, sending me into a spinning vat of emotions. I am ripped apart leaving pieces behind and clinging to the hope that tomorrow will be better than today. The colours and shapes combine to make a picture that bends and shapes the world around me. I am caught up in the display of a million particles changing my perspective bringing joy , hope and laughter to my ever-changing world, amidst the ruins of lives left behind. I am caught up in the dance, moving here and there pausing for a moment only to move on again in a direction unforeseen. The colours of my world change with every movement bringing together the aspects of my past with the reality of the present and just as I begin to enjoy the picture, change: my enemy, my rival, my companion, and friend. The colors are moving again, dancing across the screen of my life bringing hope, joy, laughter and pain. My life is a kaleidoscope of colours; people, places, cultures, swirling together, and I wouldn’t change it for anything

This is not really a story, but it is in a way the story of my life. The story of change.

Julie,
i think your piece is neat. before i read it..by the structure and length of what seemed short in each line, i expected it to have many breaks in between the line but to my surprise it had a nice flow to the entire story.

Love it! It’s really poignant. Definitely my experience too.
It has a wistful tone, almost as if deep down a big part of the author [you] really would change it if possible, to stop going through the pain that moving brings.
Just philosophising, but I think an ideal solution for TCKs who don’t want to settle down (like me
should have a home base where they actually live and come back to for a big part of each year, and then go off and travel for travel’s sake, not to live. But choose a place where people are settled, otherwise it’s just as bad when they keep leaving the place you’ve decided to stay 
I had that happen and it’s really frustrating!
Anyway, just some thoughts
Thanks for sharing this piece.
