The water is crystal clear after 2 days of heavy downpour. Never seen so much rain in the month of June. This morning's thunderstorm was so heavy it sounded like i was standing at the edge of a waterfall and hearing its roar.
I realise that i haven't enjoyed this sort of peacefulness for a long time. I'm thoroughly sick of the crowds, the congestion, pollution, and noise in a so-called "developed city". And i'm questioning how much longer i can stay there without compromising certain things that are important in my life. i miss spending time with my family, friends, and the healthier lifestyle i can have here, running, swimming, etc.
Yet i know that if i live here i'll be stir-crazy sooner or later and crave escape too. not sure exactly what i want, or where i can find it. Ugh. guess people are never satisfied with what they have.
I feel increasingly like a tourist each time i'm back. gawking at the new malls that have sprouted up, old places that have disappeared, my favourite haunts that are now sadly, very disappointing and not worth going to anymore. some things are still amazing though, like the incredible 50m pool right in front of my bedroom ;-)
should i stay or should i go? Or more appropriately, should i come back or should i stay there?
