No place like home

Back from Italy. Now pack-loaded with essays due in 4 days time. Came back refreshed and in a better position to do battle, not that there will be dragon-slaying to do.

This feels surreally comfortable, slouching back on an unmade bed that isn't mine and blogging with just my laptop unplugged from the power cables. Background sounds of furious typing and laptops whirring. The creaking sound from the rooms upstairs and the thump of footsteps on the stairs are familiar to me now.

I could get so used to this. Content and peace is something I haven't experienced for quite a while.

To me, what tops being on vacation is being welcomed home after a cold and tiring journey with love and warmth. And without realising it, a smile slips out at the sweet little gestures that shows you that you were missed.

Its good to be home.
