hahah like most things in my life, I'm typically all or nothing. Finding the balance is always the foreseen objective, however unobtainable it may seem....ideologically idealistically ideal! its very rare that we have time and resources to meet our ever evolving demands for more of this or less of that or to satisfy all the what ifs and 'shoulda', 'couldas'...My point is... I haven't written to you in over a year and today I am O.Deeing on blog entries. It feels good to do this and it also helps me to think. Therapy for my monkey mind.
I just wrote my dad a quick thank you email. My wonderful 68 year old parents came to my little studio apartment today to drop off and assemble a desk and wobbly chest of draws today. Mind you, the weather here in Sydney today is totally shitty and rainy but highly motivating bed weather.
After spending about 2 hours with my parents, I usually feel that this is enough and since living on my own again I can see that our hang out time is better quality than living under the same roof and driving each other mental. When they left, I was left with my old laptop that my mum brought back after using for a year or so to stream Filipino movies off the Internet as well as rock solid furniture that my Dad had glued, hammered and spanner-ed to industrial strength.
All I can think about after having them visit, as brief as it was. Is that I look at them, their lives and what they do for me and I am not sure I can understand how selfless life can become. Something I am sure only having a child can teach you. But today also helped me see, how no two people in the world could love me more than these two amazing souls. They will always be my rock solid furniture!
