soon enough.

quite very suddenly, its almost time to head home again. home that i've not seen in over 10mths, family and friends whom i've lived almost a year away from. getting caught up in the cycle of living is what one should try hard not to, but easier said than done. when school or work begins, projects and assignments come due, deadlines draw closer, its just all too easy to get sucked in and just for one to 'go with the flow'. no longer does one dictate whats done in their own lives but rather what they do depends on the direction in which they're being pushed.

thats why time away from it all is good.

time to sit ard or lay in bed. with nothing pressing to do. with no obligation to anyone. it just feels great. but at the same time, heading back means getting back into a thick mist. once familiar places that are same yet different. stepping back into a life i left off almost a year ago.

i spose thats what studying overseas does to one. two lives are led. well in certain instances they merge but more often they dont. and to me the one now is the transient one. one that gets me away to allow me to look from afar. and hopefully learn it better.

free time allows for many things. sentimental movies on the lappy. meaningful chats with friends old and new. time to reflect about the time past. this will be my last summer hols. i cant wait to see how things are now. how my darling nieces have grown. i hope i'm better prepared to wade thru the mist this time round. i'll find out soon enough.

soon enough. :)
