Belated

A happy very belated twenty-sixteen, everybody.

Coming back and visiting here after long periods of time seems to be the trend, but glad to be back. A lot has happened I guess since the last time. The holidays have passed, the new year has come, and I am now a part-time barista at Starbucks. whoot. 

Life has just been going, and it's weird to think that it's already the end of January. I cannot express how much I love being home here in Austin, but I'm starting to get the itches that it may be time to start looking outside the comfort zone. 

Obviously, Hana. Life is meant to take risks, and now is a better time than ever, eh? Committing and being really serious about a whole new chapter is always daunting, and I feel like my eighteen year old self again, wondering and speculating about my future pre-college.

Now, even after building and cultivating a wonderful four years, here I am again, a bit older, but all the more terrified.

It's an interesting thing. Talking the talk about all these realisations about life and then when faced with the same challenges again, the same doubts appear as well. 

Although, I am hopeful as what I have gained since back then are memories and friendships that are proving to be endless support throughout this time. Realising more and more life is so much bigger than me and what I want. What I need and want is important of course, but realising that happiness and fulfilment don't really happen when I'm the only one enjoying it.

Well, now I'm just rambling. A sign once again that regular visits to the little thing may prove helpful in organising my thoughts.

Cheers.
