I don’t know if it’s because I got up at 7am to go jogging today, or if it’s the old Chinese songs my dad is playing, or if it’s the currypuff I had for lunch, but I feel different. In a good way too.

Have you ever felt like you were looking through someone else’ eyes even when you were going about doing everything you always did? I do right now. It’s as though I was never me before and I’m discovering everything all over again.

I am rediscovering the joy Hazel brings to our family. I am rediscovering fresh air on a Saturday morning. I am rediscovering music. I am rediscovering the warm fuzzy feeling when you do a good deed. I am rediscovering the house I have been living in for the past 2 years. I am rediscovering the extra mile I would go for some things.

I have been so caught up with studying for exam that I’ve tuned out everything else. I put life on hold. I guess somewhere along the way, I lost myself in all the words and chemical equations that I have been cramming into my head. Sure, exam has been over for a week now. I went for a movie and shopping immediately after, slept a whole day away and went for a Stars Wars marathon. After that was the Return of Exam Papers. It was a full week of ups and downs that just about knocked me breathless.

I’ve only just begun breathing again. And it feels great.
