It is nice to be back on a familiar ground. It is a luxury to have an apartment in NY. Coming home feels natural and comfortable.
Almost 6 months have passed since I left for Shanghai. It is fascinating how much we can go through, learn and grow in 180 days. Coming back to old environment makes me realize how much I have grown (old). I am no longer taking crap from people. It is interesting how 13 years of NYC didn't teach me that, but 6 months of Shanghai trained me up.
Maybe it was the milestone birthday reminded me that life is short and I need to look after myself.
It is my life after all. When no one is asking for your opinion, why say anything. If communication is about expressing your opinion only, it has no purpose at all. Just because you are older, it doesn't make you see things with more clarity.
Moving to a new place is a great blessing. You can start your life fresh. You can meet new friends. You can have a new adventure. All the old habits, old baggages and old issues can be looked at with a different lens. They are not going away. They can just be dealt with differently.
