Home Again!


What happens when you’ve lived up your dream but you realise that’s not for you anymore?

I’ve always wanted to make my way back since I left Stirling four years ago, it has become some sort of obsession which I could not understand why at times. I have successfully created a scenario in Glasgow that was fairly similar to Stirling. The penthouse and the part time course have contributed a lot for me to make this work. The landscape is still amazing but people, including myself from four years ago are not there anymore. I can see the new generation coming here, studying hard for their degrees, waiting for their careers to take off. It’s almost funny how I always wanted to give myself another year to re-live that experience. The truth is you can create the scenario, but not the same people or feelings anymore.

It seems to be so much work to realize something rather obvious. I am glad I have done so though, I simply need to see and feel the difference then I can finally let go. Without doing so, I might keep neglecting the best happenings in the present but think the past could be re-invented.

People I have met here in Glasgow are also amazing but I don’t have a reason to stay here longer. I am terrible at saying a formal goodbye, on the other hand, who needs that? When someone gets in your heart, it stays for good! Scotland will always be there on the map and my heart as well.

Hello, Taiwan, I am home again!
