I never knew I would cherish this kind of time, being alone in a coffee shop, just me and my thoughts.. I was always planning to spend this quiet time without scrolling my phone but.. I often forgot to bring my hardcopy book, and to get back into the office just to take the book is really not a very smart option. 😅😅

I found this me-time to be really joyful and relaxing, but please note that I like my friends in the office. Some of them are really nice, some of them ..well let’s just say they have this character building personality 😁😁. I like to be alone like this, it reminds me of my pre-teen and teen era, I was often alone, partly because I’m an only child, partly because I rather spend my spare time with books than with people.

I like to watch people, strangers, doing whatever they are doing at the moment. I wonder, do they struggle with massive problems or is it mild problems? Are they happy with their lot of life or do they despise it and want to be someone else? I used to be the latter kind of person, I want to be someone else. I am jealous of others’lot of life. I don’t like mine. Thankfully, I grow, I know now that even the most perfect life I see someone else had, it was full of sruggle. And it was also applied to other who see my life. Perhaps they want to have my life without knowing all the mess I have to endure day by day.

This is  how I learned to appreciate everything I have, because this lot of mine is really enough for me, even slightly more. I know I have a tough problems, a puzzle of lesson I need to learn. And despite all of it, I still have this solid sense of humor. I still have the determination  to be a runner – not a sub 3 hours marathon kind of a runner, but a consistent, happy and healthy runner.

Ow, it’s time to get back to work, thank you, see you later,
