Reading a lot and working out at a nearby gym every morning. Mom sends me and picks me up like when I was at school. During the day, I work and write at a coffee shop bookstore right next to the gym. I got back a little bit of routine life from the turbulence of traveling, trying to process all the emotions and things that happened during the trip. I felt a mission completed since I did stay out, travel, and work for a whole two months. So proud of myself, of course.

During the trip, there were so many times when I asked myself: Why did I do it all alone and for so long? I wanted to go back to my place and live my everyday routine, most importantly sleeping in my own bed. I missed my tiny little space where I’m the only one in charge, where all the items are normal but unique to me. Travelers can miss home badly, and people need belongings. We need to feel that we belong to somewhere, something, or someone.

After a week of rest and routine life, I got back some peace in life but was still checking social media too much. Every time I feel distracted, I go back to the 3 Trinities for my New Year’s resolution. Luckily, I got lost but found the way back.

Trinity I. Books

For “Books” , I read every day, and I started retraining myself to read in all kinds of environments, like the bench along the road, the subway, and whenever I scoot my screen, I pull out the book to try to focus.

Trinity II. Miles

For “Miles” , I work out every day with no problem at all. I think this trinity of my life is getting deeper and much firmer. Since whenever I feel down, running miles or heading to the gym can always solve my problem. You should try it. This habit is an awesome cure for depression.

Trinity II. Matters of the Heart

For “Matters of the Heart,” I wrote letters to family and friends, and also entered the nonsense emotions into my diary. Oh, I got a new diary book since I didn’t bring my Shepherd for the trip (I should have brought him, but anyway, now I’m back to writing something almost every day). The other day when I was writing at a restaurant with my AirPods to block the noise, I could picture myself in a writer’s frame.

Thank you! I need to work on my book. Though all I care about is love and romance, sometimes I hate myself for being too romantic. But most of the time, I know being able to love and get hurt is the most valuable quality one can be born with. It’s been long since I practiced singing or something for the heart. I will start today!

Thank you for living your best life with some hurting emotions and living struggles. You did your part in bettering the world just by being part of it. I started sharing lots of stories on my Instagram. I used to feel it was impossible to create content each day, but now I see beauty as well and feel so blessed.
