  • Life stages

    When you think of your stages in life, do you use the people you are with, or the country, or job, or status in life etc.? Me, I use the cities/houses I was staying in. I guess it just splits my life stages into digestible chunks.

    Looking at the Ottawa house, it seems like ages ago. Two HK houses (12) - childhood, the Vancouver house (11) - student life and youth, the few Ottawa houses (5) signifies independence and peace, Hk tiny house is freedom and still youth, HK house looking out to the greens right now, I feel so old, matured and settled. Am I still seeking independence? I don't crave it anymore. Sometimes I want to have that constant in life, which I used to be scared of.

    I am sure that one day in another house, I will think that the HK house looking out to the greens, lived a woman who was naive and young, seeking what she is seeking... but right now I feel that I don't really have that thing to seek because everything can be gotten at home.
