It has been more than 3 years!

How are you, my dear read friends?

I was daydreaming, or shall I say, recalling the past and I just realized, there were a lot of things that I have missed. You know, pre-pandemic and stuff. Ever since I live with my partner, to be honest, some parts of me have been locked away. When you live with other people, the freedom is no longer the same, I had to adjust and consider my actions. Not that I want to impress them, I just want to show I respect their rules in the household.

Have you ever wished you could pull back the hands of time and do things all over again? That is what I am feeling right now.

I am feeling nostalgic right now, my friends. Things have changed and I do miss doing the normal activities where I had the money, time, and freedom to do all of those. In God's time, I will do them again, we will do those things that we long for, again. I trust, and I hope, I have faith.

I wish you have a wonderful weekend with yourself and/or your family.
