domesticated
Seems like the preparations at home did not prepare me completely for the real thing after all. They helped, of course, at least I'm far from being clueless and helpless when it comes to the domestic affairs now, but doing it for myself from scratch is kind of different. The minor flusters today (like an unsteady beginner on the road) did not make me regret moving out. No, I do not miss the comfort that living in an inflexibly-catered hall brings. Rather, these hands-on sessions made me realise how glad I am to have chosen the more independent and flexible accommodation path after all..for I've got to learn these some day, and it might as well be now, when I have little choice else but to learn to do them well. Swim or sink I suppose. That's how we learn.
I was quite surprised when I found these thoughts running through my head as I was vacuuming the floor after dinner just now. I was still worried initially that I might end up pining for hall life if the daily chores proved too time-consuming or energy-sapping, but when I realise how much learning this bgp experience will bring, and how the flat is really more than a house, but a household with these friends around, then I know that I will settle down alright here, eventually.
I hope to be on that autopilot mode soon though, when things just become de2 xin1 yin4 shou3. How far more to attaining that I can't say for sure, but I'm working towards that! Whoever says life was easy anyway? But nobody says that we can't take on life's challenges too, and for our efforts, emerge a stronger and better person.
Life is like riding a bicycle...to keep your balance, you have to keep moving.
Hee..so Life's quite a sports coach huh..in the metaphorical sense...swimming, cycling...
