The Imperfections of My Life

Pieces of memory

Outside was sunny, assignments due soon, yet daydreaming still occupied me. Books everywhere, on the floor, on bed, on the table. Going to the kitchen to refill my jug, in my pink and green Crocs sandals; said hi to my Srilankan housemate who had just finished cooking her yellowish food. -A day in summery Adelaide-

Perth Airport, picked up Eat, Pray, Love, waited for the next flight, decided to go to Perth CBD, ate Gelato, back to the airport, embarked on a night flight, stopped over at Johannesburg Airport, waited for the connecting flight to Douala. Arrived in Douala, dark and humid airport, old building, too many people in such a small airport, chaos, confusion, couldn’t find my luggage. -On the trip from Adelaide to Douala, Dec 2009-

Snow, freezing weather, wet and slippery pedestrian path, inability to comprehend what people were talking about, trying to find the stars instead, enjoying the city view. -Trieste, Winter 2010-2011-

Hungry, walked out from the hotel room, bought the bus ticket from a little cafe across the street, went to the bus stop, tried to guess at which stop I should wait. Bus arrived, was thinking to go to Lasize, passed Lasize, changed my mind, wondered what’s ahead, saw a very beautiful and huge lake called Lago di Garda, passed several towns, arrived in the middle of nowhere, decided to get on the other bus back to where I was from, arrived in Bussolengo where the hotel was, decided to go further to Verona. Arrived in Verona, hungry as hell. -Verona, Italy, Summer 2011-

A beautiful smile, from the balcony of my room, a guy in a blue Tshirt, holding a bouquet -My 23rd bday-

Tried to watch Harry Potter Deathly Hollows part 2. The day when I made a decision to move on and to love someone else -16 Sept 2011-

An ability to immerse in the present results in the ability to isolate the memories that are readily to be recalled at a latter time.

The memories might not include the exact dates or the time, but it is more important that our brain is able to bring back the emotions, the place, daytime or night time, and the people we were with.

Recalling fond memories are a good way to spend your time alone, whenever and wherever which no one can take away from you.

Enjoy the world, enjoy the green trees, the blue sky, the smile of the person you love, the company of your friends because you can’t have every second that passed by back, you are left only with memories. Make sure that you create a strong memory by being as present as you can.

What’s better than having a lovely, caring, and understanding roommate/ partner?

I think I started to finally feel home somewhere.

It’s home when I can feel some certainties that I can build on the life that I have now because this is the life that I want.

It’s just a start, it’s not easy, but it’s enjoyable :D
