I was thinking about which part of my life I enjoy most, and I realized I can’t say I have a constant I enjoy. It solely depends on whatever is happening in my life at a point in time. It could be A today and B tomorrow.
Days ago, I’m sure I wouldn’t have hesitated to say the part of my life I enjoy most is work, but now it’s different. I used to be very career-oriented, and I remember how I used to always wake up so happy that I was going to work, but now nothing about work excites me except that I’m traveling.
Sometimes, the needlework part of my life is what I enjoy the most. There’s just this joy in being able to make something from my crochet hook and yarn or, better still, sewing. There are times I just pick up my hook when I feel down, and I get so happy. There are also days I just look forward to getting home to touch my yarn and make a whole new creation.
Now in this very moment as I’m looking around me, I just realized the part of my life that excites me the most is my time with my family and friends. During that time, you’ll mostly find me smiling and laughing a lot, like I have been doing a lot today. It’s as if everything in my life has fallen into place and I have no issues.
Anytime I tell my mom I’m going through something, she normally laughs and says, “You’re not going through anything; you just need your people around you,” and I agree. Abenad on her own is a very different person from when I’m around friends and family.
The highlight of what makes me enjoy that part of my life, which involves spending time with friends and family, is definitely traveling. I love that part, which involves night rides and a lot of trips to different places just for the fun of it. And the fact that most of these trips are very spontaneous is what just makes it very thrilling for me.
As I’m typing right now, I’m very distracted over a funny issue my elder sister has been talking about for hours. And I should have finished this post long ago, but here I am laughing my ribs out. Moments like these, which make me forget the world, are something I enjoy so much, and I’m not ready to trade them for anything.
