    The Simple Life

    Recently, I've been spending more time with myself. Like with myself and only myself. No family, no boyfriend, no friends. I really cherish whatever time I have privately, be it just a simple spending window shopping at the mall, or gulping sipping on coffee at Coffee Bean/Starbucks.

    I remember that last year, probably around the same period as now, I started pulling myself out of my social circle and decided to spend some time with myself, re-energising and to rethink my goals in life. It was fruitful and as soon as I was over it, I felt so much better, so much more confident and focused in my direction. Needless to say, I was single so I had more time to myself.

    I thought I'd never get that same kind of lifestyle ever since I got attached (not that it's a bad thing), but well I yearned to enjoy such a time with myself.

    We're all self-obsessed creatures, whether you like it or not.

    So anyway I realised the kind of singlehood when you're single single, and the kind of "singlehood" when you're not single attached, comes in a different level. Spending quality time with myself not only allows me to disconnect from my social circle and revisit my thoughts, but has made me appreciate my loved ones better. I'm so glad I have a boyfriend who loves me and spends time with me. I'm fortunate to have a complete family full of warmth. I'm even more grateful to God who has blessed me with such a wonderful life.

    Life's pleasures come from the simplest of things.
