Happy Thought # 9: Going Home
I was having second thoughts of considering this a happy thought. It really depends on the circumstances. In mine, it's always been a sucky feeling to leave Cebu or any sanctuary you call home for that matter. For so many times I've traveled back and forth, this feeling of going back to Manila never changes. It's like your happiness is slowly being sucked by an unknown black hole of responsibilities, stress, work and traffic. But I've to accept that Manila shapes my life, my career, my love, my family, my responsibilities and my pack. I think the thought of going back home to resume what I've left is a generally happy thought in itself. Cebu may be my heaven, but Manila is my life.
Sad to leave Cebu, I know I'm not getting the end of the bargain. With all the blessings that I've received and the hardships I may face, I still cling on to that grain of thought that I'm a very lucky girl. I get to enjoy both worlds at the palm of my hand. Staying too comfortable and too happy makes life boring. I will always love Cebu and for sure I will be back. It's only a weekend and a plane ride away. But for now, I'm just happy to be heading home.
One thing I try to do is to see the brighter side of things. Going home easily means reuniting with my pack, my books, my room, my siblings, my car and my love. And for that, I'm truly thankful and happy.
