l o n e l y


Today... I can't help but feel a tad lonely.

So different from my uni days. Those were the days where I'd take every opportunity I can get to slip off quietly early in the morning. I'd take a bus to the city by myself, walk up and down George St, take photos, shop, have a latte at some streetside cafe, just watching the hustle and bustle of Sydney. It was an escape. Not that I didn't enjoy the company of others, but there are just some days where you feel like being alone.

Now, I'm constantly walking, having lattes, shopping by myself. That's not by choice.

Just the other day I was telling MrAlex, it's important to enjoy your own company. To not feel lost when there's no one around. I've just learnt to enjoy my own company. In which he said I'm mad anyway.

Some people say I'm too independent and too strong for my own good. Well, I disagree. For example, say if I wanted coffee badly and there was no one to have one with me, I'd go out and get myself one. If I feel odd sitting there alone, I'd grab a mag with me. If I still feel odd sitting there alone, I'd take away and come home to drink in the comfort of my own living room!

And so... I shall be patient. And lonely. And drive myself everywhere. And grab my own lattes. And go shopping on my own. And bring my own scarves to keep warm. And watch movies with Ai-Li. And sit my butt here, and wait...
