Time flies. This seems like a cliche, doesn't it. But thats the only way this trip home could be described. I will reach another place in 24 hours. Somewhere other than home. Parting with loved ones, moving on in life in some foreign society is probably and inevitably part and parcel of my life now. This may be a blessing, wouldn't it? Now I know what "home", "family" etc really means. I suppose what Jo defines home is quite appropriate. It is a place where they understand you, but the most basic thing is that you feel comfortable; like you belong there. Now I know where I belong. But after awhile, I realize that leaving and seperating wouldn't get me further away from where I want to be, instead its bringing me closer. I believe that one day, I get to choose where I want to be. Thats a blessing.
But nonetheless, its not the best thing in the world to be parting with a place you love, but this is probably the best reason I can give myself to stay strong, and say a happy goodbye to my loved ones; with a big hug and a promise that I will work hard, and I will be home soon(:
I really hope this happens...
I know God will probably help me with that, because He answered my prayers today! I got to dance, meet friends&relatives, AND try out Wii(: (and some other stuff I dont know how to explain) Amazing day(: WHAO.
To you:
you might never ever see this, but I'm writing it down nonetheless. you taught me so much these few months, and I am very grateful for that. I thank God that I not only met you, but for all the chances to get to know you out of class. The lessons, lunchtime chat, gossiping during breaks, creating a 'revolution' in school, (and events that happened today...) that last lesson, that last dance, that last chat, and that walk, that smile, and all the countless scoldings, complaints, jokes. Everything brings back a smile on my face. Those memories of you and all the other amazing friends I met because of your lessons made this trip home so much more than what I can ask for. Seriously so much so much more. Probably some people may not accept you, life may be tough on you. But I respect/admire your talent (just like all the other people we mixed around with.) There are some things that I can't express. But what you asked me just now, I wanted to scream a BIG YES right into your face, but I just want to say THANK YOU, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU.
I will be back soon, thats a promise(:
This time home, I tried activites that I never taught I would fall in love with. Like skiing, dancing etc. Not that I will be pro at them, but at least I found some new interests other than tennis! :D Really really hope that I can continue with them when I go back. <3
Counting down...
Posting this bit first. I will think of what else to write later.
