Prologue (you can skip this): So, I'm adding this new category under my personal posts entitled "The Weekly Sentimental". What I'm talking about here are random things that mean something to me. Posts may include some of my old stuff, and some new stuff. But the real point is about me talking about stuff that remind me of something, somewhere and even someone. Hoping this could help introduce or express myself to you guys even more. Moving on...
A knit sweater. It's thick, it's warm, and cozy. Every time I go shopping for new clothes, I always tend to check out the outerwear over the basics. These work as statement pieces to me. I could wear any shirt inside and just wear it over it and it tends to give a different vibe instantly. It reminds me of the cold, the winter. Ever since I was little, I always tend to enjoy the rainy days more than the sunny days. These are the days I feel self-retreat and safety. These are the usual times when everyone else stay at home instead and have a better time together as a family.
Back to the first time I went to Perth, it was the first time I realised how distance is such a big deal in life. Distance creates distance. It creates a cut in ropes connecting relationships. It was in the winter when I got the saddest and frustrated of how distance sucks. I'm away from my friends, my lifestyle, I feel as if I'm a totally different person. But it was also in winter, when I learned to accept and appreciate the optimistic. The cold, it's freezing, and too much can bring pain to your skin. Winter is a sign of new beginnings. The leaves may fall off but it's the meaning in life to fall and grow again beautifully, nurturing and relishing the different colours of life.
