It's coming to an end...

This morning I woke up feeling a little down… out of nowhere.

It just hit me that the holidays are coming to an end. A few months ago, the “overseas legends” were all flooding the airport, coming back for the break. And now, just like that, they’re heading back again.

I remember telling myself back then that I’d allow myself to loosen up a little. To actually hang out and be present, since before that it was just work, work, work. No social life at all. So in my head, I marked the end of the holidays by when everyone starts leaving.

And now… it’s happening.

Okay, I’m much better now. I had to pull myself out of that mood. But it’s still that feeling of everything winding down. The hangouts are ending. Everyone not being around for the next nine months, or even longer for some.

Departures are always the hardest.

And this year feels a little heavier. Roe is leaving too.

The past few months have honestly been one of the most united seasons for us, especially for the older ones in CG. It makes me wonder when we’ll all sit down for dinner again, hang out, watch movies, yam cha, play cards, or even go to the beach together.

I know things won’t feel exactly the same the next time we meet.

Every season is different.

And that’s why I really treasure this one. The time we had, the memories we created for each other. I hold them very close to my heart.
