what is the reason you go home?
i came home for the shelter. not for the solace. not for the love.
i have some things that i certainly want to do with my kids. although my parents didn't but lately, i see that they have tried to the best of their ability. i'm touched. however, i rather them talk to me, play with me, joke with me, do the things i do with my friends etc. don't tell me generation gap etc. a 2ominute taxi ride can bring me more conversation than i have at home.
nonetheless, it was eye-opening week. met a very lovely mongolian lawyer. widen my eyes so much. when i apologized for my shabby attire as it was an impromptu date, she told me "you are you. i don't care what you wear. i care about who you are". the moment i heard that, i told myself, if only she's local, i would have gone out full force! she did alot of sweet things. when it was raining heavily and she knew that i was out, she sent an sms to ask where i was. after she finished a touching movie, she drop me a message knowing that i was sleeping. seriously, i've never experienced something like this from a local girl. all the appreciation, all the things beyond materials.
right now, i feel like dropping whatever i have, pick up a backpack and travel around the world. not for a month, not for a year but a lifetime. there's just too much too see in a lifetime.
damn, i have a feeling of being in love.
