Same same but different
As I ushered in 2016 this year back on the island, I realise that things and people are same same but different. While I do know that change is the only constant in life, being in the midst of it all still gives me a mixed bag of feelings and I am trying to understand these feelings through writing. I am not expecting anyone and anything to stay constant in my time away, yet I cannot help but feel the differences to be blaring in my face. I am in a different stage of life compared to most of my friends and the different experiences I have had overseas will definitely be un-relateable to them. This chasm has caused me to doubt if my inner support system has been shaken and if there was anyone with whom I can talk to and would understand me. A part of me has definitely changed while being overseas and I am grateful to God for all the experiences I have had. I just have to wade through these pool of feelings somehow.
