today

today is the last day i will sit out here on my balcony.

after today, packing and moving to the new place begins slowly.

and next week, i move offices, and then homes.

(yes, i know, im crazy. heh)

this sitting on the balcony is my last time im gonna do it

nearly six years in total, i have been here.
these have been the happiest and saddest times of my life

this home, when shared and when not.

this home, when open and when shut.

this home, where i started to become the personĀ  i wanted to be.

this home, where i became a mom.

this home, where i became me.

this home, where my friends come home and feel okay.

this home, where my heart is safe, even when the world spits it out.

this home, where my daughter awakes and says “mom. look, the sun says hello through our window”

a new beginning beckons.
