Feeling exceptionally thankful tonight. I survived project meetings and lab and did most of my assignment tomorrow before my dinner with ode and Shiu Heng. Ode and I were sitting at ramen play and I was asking her about her day and she was telling me about it and watching her tell me about her day and having someone share how they felt at the end of the day is just very.... Right. Like home. Like a comfort that doesn't slip from your hands and walk out of your life. Then it was me telling Shiu Heng about some silly stories and him listening and Odelia filling in at times. I realize how with some people things unfold very easily. Like how the poem strings all the words effortlessly and create feelings and meaning and everything just fits. I like how life fits despite the horrible school work and how sometimes I listen to people talk about themselves and what they say and what they meant and I know what is important to them and knowing that makes me certain of who they are and what I can offer to them, what friend I can be. You can't give coins to a broken hearted man.
Everyday I go home with some dishes left for me in case I get hungry, my bed made and the curtains drawn and my clothes freshly ironed and having my parents and mama and Amanda ask me how my day went and my schedule for tomorrow. I feel overwhelmed with warmth and a knowledge that I can look forward with people I love behind my back.
Thank you.
