2 hours

A short chapter indeed this is. Just less than 3 months ago, i was anticipating the start of something new...And in 3 days time i would be back in THE familiar land once again. How short it is.
3 months ago i was probably in the eye of a storm. A complete mess. I knew i had to breakaway, and this whole internship paved the way to the perfect scenario: a strange island with strange people speaking strange language (by strange i mean alien, not weird), and i myself being a legal and authorized alien venturing new streets.
I am not indicating that i am a better man now than i was back then. But nevertheless this journey had brought me new insights, ones i would never be able to depict in words. As cliche as it is sounds, perhaps. The ever-changing environment; new surprises at every turn of a corner, the occasional showers of kindness and generosity, the decisions i am not proud of, the diverse personalities i've came across. All had played their roles well in an enlightening manner. HE must have spent at least a fraction of a second extra to set all that up. THANK YOU.
I am afraid that THE familiar land i am returning to has unfamiliarize itself with me. But then again, even all the aftershocks that frequent this land i grew up on could not estrange me. After all, i guess my return is by no means a significant event to anyone but myself (exceptionals of a handful of people).
Knowing me, i have an ocean-deep hunger for changes. That nature of mine logically creates anticipation to return. But the most unexpected feelings found its way into my heart in these last few days. Though very little, but it's there; i am going to miss this place and everything it holds. Frankly, i am surprised too.
So here i am once again. After having treaded all the peaks and troughs of this chapter, i guess i am ready for the closing. I only hope i am as ready for the unfolding of a new one.
