Went back home today after what felt like an exceptionally long week of school. (And another long one coming up sigh) There's something beautiful about breathing in the familiar sights of the hometown you've grown up in more than three quarters of your life after being away for an extended period of time.

I look forward to weekends now. To be able to have my alone time, something so rare in school. Today I bought my all time favourite korean spicy chicken from the usual place in Yew Tee, walked the familiar path home, waved to the security guards and cleaners whom have watched me grow up, and finally saw my second sister after two whole weeks. But she left after like an hour to her bf's place to stay over for the weekend. (Our paths hardly cross now!!!)

I very drudgingly pulled myself out of my chair just now to take Buttons for a walk, and was greeted by a beautiful night breeze and an even more beautiful sky scattered with stars. As do such situations allow, I stood there for a moment looking up and letting the wind caress my face. It was a beautiful few seconds.

Today was also one of those days I wanted to get off all social media platforms and just live life old-fashionedly again. I don't quite know why but I just feel very unsettled and aimless today. I feel like I want to start a business but I'm unsure of what kind of business I want to start. And the fact that I came home to Buttons peeing on the floor and me having to clean it didn't help either. Having a pet requires much effort so kudos to my parents for being the one doing most of the work.

Anyway, point of the post. My day wasn't very good if I looked back upon it as a whole but it was the small things that mattered. Focusing on the good parts makes you feel a lot better. As Ash told me, "Everyday may not be good but there's something good in everyday." And for me, it was the moment when I stood and stared at the stars. A fleeting few seconds but nevertheless, something good.
