Day 13 Last sunset

hello my dear, how was your day?

Today is my last full day here in London before leaving - I am flying back to HK tomorrow evening at UK time. I didn’t take a day off for today so I had to do a bit of work, then I went to my cousin’s place at St Albans for dinner.

Since today is the last day, I decided to wear my “british” outfit for one more time (haha) because I don’t know when I’ll get to wear something like this again, HK is waaay too warm for this.

Earlier today, I was admiring this really beautiful sunset on my train ride to my cousin’s place. I was actually surprised that I get to see the sun out today, as you also know how rare it is to see the sun during winter in the UK. And once again, I just feel really really grateful about all the big and small, good and bad things that happened in this trip. I remember asking God why did he let me get sick on the last day of my work. But then when I looked back, I realised that perhaps it’s because of my sickness, I see God’s protection and company even more clearly throughout this journey.

During this 15 days 4 stops semi solo trip far away from home, I was never alone :’)

I have mixed feelings about coming back to HK, just as always whenever I make a move from one environment to another. Even though I am going back “home”/to the routine, I somehow still get this anxious feeling of going into the unknown - the uncertainty of not knowing how the next season will be like. I will also have to adjust myself again both physically and mentally. For example, I often get really bad jetlag when I travel to the east that I can’t sleep properly at noght for almost 3 weeks. I also know that at some point very soon, I will be frustrated and overwhelmed by having to manage my parents and brother, and the feeling of not fitting in to this city that is supposed to be my home.

But at the same time, I am not sure why, I feel like it is about time for me to go back. And even though I don’t know how the next season is going to be like, I do believe that there is a purpose for each season of our lives that God has prepared and is waiting to reveal to us as we open our hearts to seek and discover it. My faith has been what brings me a sense of security and clarity as I step into the unknown in life.

Lastly, before I go to sleep, I just also want to proudly say that I have achieved to write one post each day for the last 13 days of the trip! 😊 All because I want you to know I do really miss you as I travel. Love you, my dear 🤍 Good night.
