Transience

aku pulang merapatkan jarak fizikal namun terbentuknya jurang baharu di antara kita

ephemeral like the floating particles in the pouring sunlight through dusty curtains in a long-emptied room but filled with an air of loss and lingering sense of regret after your departure -KL, 3.07 am, Aug 26, 2015

Homecoming My love is the color of sunsets Though worn from travel and toil, "I'm home!"

I am definitely not the same person as I was when I left the country. Although there was little to no physical changes (I have not grown any taller nor gained any weight as my friends can testify), there is a big change in my outlook of the world. Being in contact with people of different cultures and different backgrounds abroad has widened my perspectives. It has given me an opportunity to be exposed to different sides of the same story. For example, having known people who have actually emigrated from war-torn countries or refugees in Canada. You get a first-hand account of the goings-on and...
