Reflections

This morning on my way to the office, I was rushing because I saw the dark clouds and it was about to rain. When I was already on the jeep, I started with my morning prayers until my mind drifted to other things. I was recalling the past, it has been already three years since I left MMLDC and have to face another chapter of my life.
It was not easy for me, how I missed my friends at MMLDC. Some have already resigned have gone abroad. I remember my last day in MMLDC when I don't want to have despedida but still good friends prepared one great despedida for me. I shed so much tears on that day, tears of joy because of what I have heard from my officemates when they grilled me with I should say loving and kind words, and tears of sadness because I will leave them behind and facing another step of my life. My first few months in my new office was so lonely, even if I have already friends there. I got sick, but still I have to force myself to go to work because I don't have a reliever. I ate lunch alone and I can't even swallow the food I'm eating, I tried to hold back my tears and have to be strong. My boss always checked me if I'm okay. And now three years has already passed and a lot of things had already happened. It was a blessing in disguise because I'm closer to the place which I can't live without because it's the place I was born in San Juan.
It's like being back home where my friends are.
