"When I was young I set out to change the world.
When I grew older I perceived that this was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my state.
This too, I realized as I grew older, was too ambitious,
so I set out to change my town.
When I realized that I could not do even this, I tried to change my family.
Now, as an old man I know that I should have started by changing myself.
If I had started with myself, maybe then I would have succeeded
in changing my family, the town, or even the state-
and who knows, maybe the world."

Feeling soul and body return home! Hah…

Before this, I have been longing to go oversea for years.. My body was at home, working hard but my mind was somewhere (just don't know where), because was dreaming to FLY! I did it, finally (Yea, recent backpack travel!), and now have no excessive feeling to go out yet but need to finish up serious stuffs (focus), while looking forward for a very decisive letter! My potential BAILOUT? haha.. An important letter that can bring me out to next stage (life-changing) from next year, and ends my ‘Renascence’ age.

This first 2 week of December in particular, unforeseeable news will be carried to me through the valuable letter. As the result, some doubts are in my mind, though I try not to think.. and I recall back the unexpected experiences, my Dark’ age. Every time, I go back to my OLD time (mentally), I observe the mistakes made, the lessons appreciated, the unlucky routes took, the details missed, the advises and nonsenses (can't believe) I listened, as well as some good memories I went through.. hopefully would have better way to prevent or cope with, if has to happen again.

Remember that, I escaped from the ‘Dark’ age, got into the ‘Renascence’ age. Then, I started to understand more about myself, to do what I have been dreamed, and to know what I need to do (finally).. A relatively shorter period of time to REST and LEARN! The time has come for me to leave the ‘Renascence’ age (which I will miss very much but can’t stay long), soon......
