Sunday hangout

hello dear, how are you?

After sleeping the whole day at home after being discharged on Saturday, I felt a lot better on Sunday. I went to church in the morning and I actually hung out with the guy I mentioned that I started chatting with recently (his name is Chung) in the afternoon.

It was the first time we hung out properly, and I tried to keep an open mind to let myself feel freely. It turned out I feel like it was a really good time. We went to have fishball noodles for lunch and then got coffee, then he drove me to some hidden spots in Stanley/Tai Tam next to the sea/reservoirs that he likes to go. After that he drove me to pick up my mom’s birthday present and cake at central before dropping me off at my home.

He is definitely not the type with attractive or charming appearance. In fact he has quite a unique story, he was an early born child without hearing until he was 3 years old receiving a surgery. These days he can hear properly, but maybe 20% less than normal people at our age do. But through our interactions and chats, I can feel that he is a really considerate, sensitive, caring, and patient person. More importantly, I feel safe around him and he makes me feel easy to open up and share more about myself slowly. So I tried to share a bit more about myself, my family background, my childhood experiences at church etc.

But at the same time even though I can feel that we both are very keen to know about each other more, I am quite aware to give us time and space to get to know each other slowly. I can kinda feel that he feels the same way.

After we parted, he told me that he enjoyed every bit of the time we spent together. I guess I feel the same too. But I am constantly telling myself to take it slowly, because I don’t know if I’m just having all these feelings because I haven’t had this level of mutual connection with another person for a long time. I also don’t know if he’d be okay if I start to open up on the even darker and heavier side of my story, or whether I’m even ready for that yet or not. But I do know so far, everything feels kinda right and I want to keep my heart and mind open to explore how far this can go.

That’s most of what I want to share tonight. But also wanted to say that I don’t think I’ve fully recovered yet from my hospital stay cause my stomache is back and I’ve been really dizzy the whole day :( I hope I feel better soon.

Sorry I don’t have outfit selfie today, but here is a photo of my mom’s birthday celebration, I looked cheeky haha 🙈
