Bed for One

Today marks the 50th day since I’ve been away.

Today, I finally spoke up about why I left home; why I left my life in Singapore; why I’ve… ran away.

Today, I opened myself up to reminders of the past that scarred me. I revisted painful memories which are now buried at the back of my mind; memories which though bring a sad smile to my face, will slowly become non-existent.

Memories which have made me grow, become stronger, more independent, more guarded, but yet more open.

I’ve been to:

• Chiang Mai
• Chiang Rai
• Chiang Mai
• Pai
• Luang Prabang
• Vang Vieng
• Vientiane
• Bangkok
• Suan Phueng

50th day.

I wonder how long more I’ll keep going.
