Day 21

I spent the weekend with friends and acquaintances, whom I've known for many years yet have never really took the time to actually know them. While I've not made BFFs over the weekend, it made me realise a lot of things and how foolish I was back then to have taken things for granted. When I look back and reflect - neither the timing, the people nor the circumstances were the blockades, but it has always been me, that was restricting myself.

Nevertheless, I believe that it's never too late to improve things.

Lately, I find myself doing, thinking or even enjoying things that never would have crossed my mind a few years back. Now and again, I'm surprised by how much my mindset has changed over time. While I'm not entirely sure if I've gotten used to this stranger, I'm actually quite happy to see these changes and to be honest, I do look forward to discover the other sides of myself as well.

That aside, I'm glad I decided to travel all the way to meet up with them. I definitely enjoyed the company and the fireworks. :)

Day 16

just because I'm less happy, doesn't mean I can't be happy.



right?

Day 13

It's been almost 2 weeks since I'm here.

It does feel different being alone again, but so far I've managed to keep myself busy to think about it. Perhaps it's good in a way too. Maybe lowering your expectations and preparing for the worst do make things better, oh well. But I'm determined not to let myself dwell in negativity and fall into depression like before. :)

Work has been interesting and I do foresee challenging times and steep learning curves ahead, but that's not unexpected, isn't it?

On a brighter note, I received a surprise gift yesterday. Orchids ♥ ! Hopefully this one lasts!
