For me, the endless urge to write is found in isolation and the endless inspiration is my home. Being away from certain people and places brings out the most genuine feelings of love.<\/p>\n

Feelings are unbelievably easy to retrieve: a message from \u202fparents informing their trips back to our hometown, the \u202fdrizzling rain, the humidity amid the freezing winter month, the rainbow\u202fbed sheets and the living room’s burnt caramel wooden floor are the pictures my mother sent me. These insignificant remarks turn out to be the most staple catalyst to trigger the journey down memory lane; \u202fand the most poignant yet wonderful thing about recollection is that \u202fthe details of faces, \u202ftimeline and venues \u202fappear\u202fall so blurry but yet so vivid with colorful patches of feelings.<\/p>\n

I still can feel the rain splashing and the hoarse winds jabbing my face as memories take me back to the wanderings with my brother on his old rusty blue scooter. I can hear the people \u202fbreathing, eating, talking and laughing as I walk alone under the golden lamp posts in the veil of fog. I can smell the aroma of fresh air after the intermittent rain as I watch the sunrise at 5 a.m. Everything remains \u202fso much alive, and yet, so much different.<\/p>\n

The same rain falls \u202fhere. The same humid and spontaneous rain \u202fbut it’s not the same dull gray sky. The people look different, sound different and definitely feel different. It’s like staring out of a window into a \u202fview of the city skyline, with hundreds of years of history and civilization. But it’s not my history, \u202fand the people living besides\u202fit, I know nothing of.<\/p>\n

As Christmas and New Year are quickly approaching, we all reminisce in the past and the memories filled with unconditional love. And to me, home is the only place that can grant us those invaluable treasures.<\/p>\n

So I plan to spend this Christmas with those I love the most. What about you?<\/p>\n
