Seven Stars - Preface

 Preface

Seven Stars
KL Trip 2011

The blog i wrote last year – Sister Kind, is so very different to the one I sit down to recount for preservation now.

All of the feelings leading up to the trip, the uncertainty, unsure of how I’d be coming back, challenged at the thought of how I’d be changed afterwards, it gave me reason to pause wondering about the person returned, myself, and what affect that would have over my general mood in the sweet thereafter.

It remained the question that sat firmly in my mind in those days leading up to the trip, driving me to the airport that Saturday afternoon Dad tried his best to help me shrug it off, people change all the time, holidays are good for that, they help give you perspective, Dad said, “just go have some fun”, he told me to forget about the life I’m leading here in reality, “forget about work” like I could throw a switch, but it’s not so easy.

But I went anyway and in the blog you’re about to read is filled with various answers, solutions of how I came to the question of how I’d become after being left changed from the experiences brought on from my holiday.

And before we begin there is one thing that’s important to note.
Since coming home there is this one thought that overshadows everything else, it’s the realization of knowing  whatever I am to become now and whoever I might have been before this trip, all I know is that I simply can’t go back to the way things were before in my life.
