041 - Last Rain

I really like the rain, it’s comforting to me on a very personal level. I’ve felt one with the element - water, all my life. Through the years of me swimming everyday to standing in the rain this evening. Being in and around water in any form has always brought me peace and happiness. 

I don’t think I’ll get to experience this feeling in a long time, the feeling of standing in the rain and letting water flow through me and my thoughts. My thoughts lately have been quite heavy. Today was about letting go and adapting to move forward. 

Today is my last day at home for a long time, amongst people I love, amongst the streets that made me who I am, amongst the people I grew up with, amongst these trees, who’ve known me since the day I was born. 

It’s time to get back to the concrete jungle, over the years it has become home, just of a different kind. 

These last three months taught me a lot, a lot of which I will apply in my work regardless of what project I’m working on. 

Work aside, I reconnected with my friends again, friends I thought I had lost with time, life feels like it’s come full circle. Through its ups and its downs. 

I feel like I’m leaving home exactly like how I left home when I was 18. Only this time, I’m not the naive kid I was at 18, I know what I need to do next. 

I will miss home and the people, but as long as I look inside for solitude, I’ll be fine.
