Moving again



Moving on Friday. Kind of stressful and awkward. I am moving near by my work. I am really excited. I thought we were supposed to move last week. The building wasn't ready. My plan was all screwed. But, it wasn't that bad. I can take Friday off so I actually got 4 days long weekend. I didn't plan to go anywhere. It's kind of waste. But, it's alright. 

I have counted how many times I have been moving since the day I came to US. 11 TIMES BIG NUMBER, RIGHT. It's actually a lot. I moved every 3 to 6 months in the first two years. It seemed like I would never be able to settle down. I moved less in past 5 years. But I think it's still more than average people would move. lol

It's not easy to move around. PACK and UNPACK. Lot of energies wasted.......

It's a new start. I am looking forward to it. I hope I will stay longer this time. And, then, by the near future. I will finally own my apartment. :)

You, I and We

When we were a single individual, we all spend a lot of time saying "I" - I want to do this, I need to go there. The one next to us whom we speak to is "YOU" - like "Do you want to come with me?" You and I actually are two very interesting terms in a relation. I mean relation in general. Two people always form a relation. It's always "YOU" and "I".

I am so used to be "I". New York could be lonely a lot of times. We all need to learn how to make ourselves happy. So "I" is always in the eyes we always use.

Then, one day. Life changed.

I started to learned how to re-phrase my sentence from "I" to "WE" as a two-people word instead of a one-person word. It's so interesting. "WE" becomes a more considerate term. We always need to think about someone else when we use "WE".

Words mean a lot of things when our life changes.
