I am really bad at farewells. Although I went through this for multiple times, yet I never learn how to detach. Knowing things are impermanent, I still cling onto things / people / moments that won't last. "The two hardest things to say in life is hello for the first time and goodbye for the last." - Moira Rogers. I remember the first day when you came into office, and back in my head I...
Yearly family vacation had us chose Eastern Europe this time. We couldn't afford the livelihood of free and easy trip for our elderly parents, hence going on a tour is a wise decision.
