It is a bitter and sweet feeling when time flies quick.
The plans you have set for the future--far future--is right around the corner with a blink of an eye.
I have officially finished my "sophomore" year of college, and quit my job which i loved waking up to every day.
Now, i'm in the process of moving all my belongings back home to start my new chapter in life.
New school.
New house.
New housemates.
New job.
It is the process of moving that has made me realize how I am the worst in dealing with change.
A lot of emotions, sadness and frustration, have been ways of coping with the idea of adapting to a new environment.
I got comfortable with how my life was with work, school, and close relationships, that suddenly dismissing all these factors have left me lost.
A confusion of whether i'll be able to be comfortable with the new factors that will be in my life like how i was just recently.
It's a scary thought to be faced with new challenges, even though i thrive upon spontaneity & the "new new".
Somehow, the "new new" isn't attractive to me at the moment when it usually is.
Yet, the unattractiveness, has pushed me to reflect far more on my accomplishments that I have done this past year.
The journal I use every once in a while, which contains the crafty entries of collages and writing, has been abused with far more drawings and writings these past few weeks.
New entires which reflect the prominent emotions I mentioned earlier as a coping method for the recent changes in my life.
Today is also the last day I saw the best chicas which I admire dearly.
They headed back home early in the morning so I had the whole day to myself.
The sense of loneliness encouraged me to take local transportation and explore the city.
As always, i ended up going to a park and bumped into doggos of all sorts.
Giving me kisses and snugs as they past along with their owners.
Nature is amazing, the greenery and noises coming from the rattling leaves and creatures mind blows me all the time.
Nature isn't appreciated enough in my opinion. Most people tend to lean towards other extracurricular activities for their leisure time. Activities which are usually indoors or technology based.
Parks are my favorite, and getting the opportunity to visit them every once in a while gives me so much joy.
Even if it's just to read a book or sun bathe.
