Day 10: Chester

hello dear, how are you? Miss you, I saw on news that there’s a typhoon in HK these few days, I hope you are staying safe 🤍

Today is Saturday and I went to this town called Chester in Wales with my parents. It’s an hour away from where we live. It was a bit rainy at first but the sun came out in the afternoon. I don’t know if you have been to, but it is indeed a really historic and classic place, even though it was quite crowded today.

My outfit today, I quite like it :)

A different style if I wear my jacket, haha

We also went to an outlet nearby to do some shopping. I went into Levi’s and I thought about you because I remember you had a Levi jeans you liked to wear and a shirt (I don’t even know why I remember things like that). And I decided to try this jeans ONLY for the sake of missing you 🤍

It’s already the 10th day for me to be here, so I thought it’d be good for me to do a short review of being here so far. Firstly, I really enjoy how relaxing it is over here. Whether it’s the atmosphere here, or our house, the setting is definitely a lot less stressful compared to being in HK. It feels like life here is simpler, because there isn’t a lot of things around. It also has been quite fun to explore new places nearby our house. I do enjoy doing that especially under this sunmer weather.

But I do feel like I am somehow getting the same lonely and socially isolated feeling as I did when in Kingston. I don’t really know why, but I notice that my friends and I tend to text even less often when I am here. It may be the time difference or people just think I am away having fun. But sometimes I do miss getting some messages occasionally from my friends even if it’s very random and unimportant, I also wish I get quicker replies from them too. And because I an also not meeting them in person, I find myself having the tendency to overthink that they “forgot” about me when they are living their own happy lives out there. I feel like even though I know a lot of these thoughts are only because of my own emotions, it still becomes one of the reasons of my social withdrawal.

I also definitely miss food and coffee in HK, and the convenience (of course). But I think these are manageable since I am only here for a month.

But among all things, I miss you the most. And today, I saw a chocolate called Andy in Chester 😊 I was so excited and it makes me really miss you dear 🤍 good night.

And there’s Hannah too :)
