Spring and beginnings. It has almost been a year since I left my hometown. There are constant worries poking through different corners on a regular basis, and I miss my family terribly, but I am still grateful for what I have. The secret of life is to enjoy the passage of time, and appreciate the good in the present moment.

But we overlay the present onto the past. We look back through the lens of what we know now, so we’re not seeing it as the people we were, we’re seeing it as the people we are, and that means the past has been radically altered.
