Thoughts from: L.A. coming from Taiwan
I just got back to LA from my one week spring break in Taiwan. I miss my family so much already. One week just wasn't enough - but it's so much better than nothing. It's crazy how the presence of the people you love can change how you feel; how doing the simplest things could become so special, like watching TV with your family in the living room or going out to eat in Ikea. Being back here, I sort of feel empty again. Suddenly I'm scared that I'll have nothing to do and no one to see and that my emptiness will consume me and make me unhappy once more. I really don't want that to happen, and I hope it doesn't...I really hope it doesn't. Maybe I'm just being overwhelmed with emotions right now because I miss my family and I miss how homey Taiwan was. I miss speaking Mandarin to people and I miss buying tea from tea stores and I miss the night market. I miss everything. Except for the scooters. The scooters were annoying as hell. But I guess I gotta get busy living, so I hope my days will be filled with events and love.
Thanks to my family and to Taiwan for a perfect spring break! I wish I could've stayed longer.
