Time and Change
This time last year, I was busy bundling up in Northern California, trying to keep warm from the sudden change in temperature and sudden quiet all around.
As I lay in the dark of my friend's guest room, it was a realization that I also believed that I would find love again. Finally, after battling with it for quite a long season, I was ready to believe in "that stuff" again. Heart wide open, heart ever ready.
I also came to terms with the deep love I have for San Francisco. How I confirmed that my love wasn't shallow or confined to a time in my life when I was truly happy. I love the Bay through and through, and it honors me right back by allowing me to be exactly who I am. No questions asked.
Today, I am pining away to be in its arms again. Mostly because, as you may know by now if you've been reading me lately, that I do have Chris. And that means I am still lost in the chaos of Manila, this tangled city of a lot of too much. Why I haven't been able to shake this longing is not even a question anymore. Its just the way it is. And as I am tied to this city for now, I look forward to the day when he finally arrives.
A year later, one that moved so quickly. Much has changed, and some things have stayed the same One thing I know for sure though, is that this time next year, I won't be the same girl I am today. Hopefully better, hopefully wiser, and hopefully... on an even bigger journey than ever before.
