Monday.

We are still here in BKK, if only for a few more days. As much as I love living life as if it is a permanent vacation, it is not. Soon, I must return to reality. That reality is looking for a new job in Hong Kong.

The last time I left Bangkok, it was all very sudden and unexpected. Just when I had gotten comfortable and found my place, I was dragged back to Hong Kong and forced to start over yet again from scratch.

December was a dark month in particular. I was very lonely around the holidays. I was very sad about my family being gone and my cat back home dying. January was better once I got to know my way around, made some new friends, and adjusted to the pace of the city.

I don’t know why I decided to run away back to Bangkok just when I was getting used to Hong Kong life. I guess maybe I just wanted all of my unanswered questions about my time here in Bangkok resolved. That and I had nowhere to live in HK, lol.

I would definitely say my questions about Bangkok have been resolved. I followed up on all of my stories and received interesting results. I solved the mystery of the Hot Beef Stew, which now no longer plagues my brain. Most importantly, I resolved the conflict that had developed over my writing.

This time I would say… I am ready to go back to HK. It’s time to face reality. Can’t keep running away forever. Just gotta focus on manifesting a job and an apartment and everything will be okay. I’ve done it before, I can do it again.

I spent most of last night working out a new strategy to approach Hong Kong with. Hopefully said strategy will lead somewhere. And by somewhere I mean, to a job and an apartment that isn’t a tiny little box. All I care about in life right now…

The only way through is forward. Onward and forward we go…
