~:[CH5 - Day 334]:~ When It All Makes Sense

I hoped to wake up and leave earlier to make the most of my day, but I dragged around and ended up staying closer by before my flight. As I was leaving, I pieced together the meaning of a lot of things. The shadows of the legs standing for the ladies only floor in the hotel, the British guards recalling the British control of Hong Kong, as well as the naming of Victoria's Harbor and Victoria's Peak. As the day went on, the realizations came to me. Why does a game, lead you to one of the most beautiful scenic spots around? Why do you run across certain people or accidentally turn down the wrong street so you may discover something else? There are a lot of moments that you think just simply happen or things that are just are, but often, there is an explanation for a lot of them. Do they all make sense? No, but in the end, the light bulb will come on. I was so grateful to have this getaway. Sure the I spent a lot of time flying for a short trip and yes, I wish I could have had more time, but I am appreciative of the people I had time to spend with and meet, the sights I got to see, the experiences I had and the delicious food that is now in my belly. Aside from Farfetch'd, I left Hong Kong with a new sense of appreciation of the people, the culture, and the possibilities for adventure. There are still a number of things I want to do in Hong Kong, so I would say, my return is imminent, but with a thinner wallet and time constraints, we'll just see when that ends up being. Regardless, I rather not dwell on these things, as there are so many things to appreciate and in the end, it was worth every moment I spent there. I had a lot of time to think and to reflect and in the end I think I have grown even more as a person as I move forward. There is still a lot to learn and a lot more room to grow, but when you piece it all together, it's great when you can make sense of some of the things that have been perplexing you in life. I hope to cross paths with all my friends, both new and old, in Hong Kong again, but for now, I send my deepest gratitude to a place that I have a lot more appreciation for. I am glad to be home and have to chance to catch up with some friends, but I will be forever changed because of this land we know as Hong Kong.
