I'VE RETURNED

A longing for my country is a pain in my heart. It’s the tear I can't hold back, the love for my homeland...

I apologize, my dear reader, for the months we’ve been apart!

The ups and downs of life, the unexpectedness of what happens while we make plans...Sometimes, life is just like this.What you think, desire, or wish for doesn’t happen.And it happens in the most undesired way.Then, you look and find yourself flowing in the river of life, and there’s always a stop it brings you to.Those stops are always there to remind you to surrender.

But human beings are flawed, they err.They forget and live again.The more they resist, the more they suffocate; the more they suffocate, the more they thrive.They remember the surrender they had when they let go into the water.

I remembered.It was He who led me here, I remembered. Every arrival was out of love, and every departure was filled with love, I remembered.I ended my exile with the hope of easing the longing for home, which came with the yearning for Him. I returned.I thank life with love, which sent me flowing into the northern waters and raised me in its whirlpools, and I return to my homeland, my heart's home, and love, with a completed version of myself.

I returned.I’ve calmed my silence, just as I calmed my exile, and returned to you, my dear reader, with my home.Forgive me for our time apart.I had to grow a little before returning.May our longing be over.

With LOVE,
