Home Sweet Home

Yep, I've moved out of the nest a couple of weeks ago. Yep, it's something that's rather overdue and something that any independent and self-sufficient person would have wanted. The benefits are great.

Immediately after moving out, I found myself more energetic because I do not have to brave through hours of traffic congestion each day. It is such a relief to be able to reach office within 10 minutes, too! Besides time, I save a ton of money on petrol (darn the hike though!) and toll. And because I don't have to spend hours on the road commuting to and fro work, I have more time to socialize as well.

But still.

I find myself looking forward to going home at the end of the work week. For all the freedom and independence accorded to me by moving out, I still crave the comforts of the warm, loving home that I come from. Where my parents go all out to make sure I have everything I need and more. Where my brother, my one closest lifelong companion resides. Where I have all the space to dance a jig about and a big comfortable bed. Where I can unwind, recharge and recuperate from all of life's ills. Aaaaah... it's undeniable - I'm the happiest at home.

Moving out just makes me appreciate that fact all the more.
