i think you are loving something

Paloma is Hema's four year old niece.

"We were swimming in a pool late at night and meowing at each other. Paloma whispered to me 'Hema, I'm a soft fish.' I thought she meant hard-soft and I said, 'Yes, I am a hard fish'. So she kept repeating it until she finally added with a sigh 'You are a noisy fish. I am a soft fish'. And then she stared at me for a long time and I kissed her."

If this girl wrote a book, I wouldn't eat or sleep before I finished reading it cover to cover. I cannot put into words how beautifully constructed I find this.

Hey blog.

I'm sitting in front of the TV watching The Biggest Loser Asia after having eaten McD's for dinner. For some reason, I always manage to catch The Biggest Loser while or after having eaten something undeniably unhealthy.

Maybe it's a coincidence.

Maybe I just eat unhealthy things all the time.

Hah.

My day's been okay. Woke up at nine which is very very early for me, especially if I have nothing planned. But I felt well rested, so it was all okay.
(Note: My sleep tracker graph is ridiculously erratic looking.)

A calm afternoon. I feel at peace. I've had two cups of coffee today, yet I still feel like I could drift off right now. I tried napping from five to six, but because of the coffee, I ended up lying on my bed with my eyes open for an hour.
That's okay, though. It was good thinking time. I think I needed it, considering the past few days' events.

To what was, and will never be again:


Although this is life and life means moving on, I will not deny that there was a slight sense of loss that came to me while I scribbled this all out.
I know I haven't lost you, that's for sure. But there is something about you not being five minutes away anymore that makes me sad.

It's not a bad sad.

Just a small one.

I'm happy you like the new place more.
It'll probably be better for you.
And that makes me smile inside.

Hope you're all well.
