it was a good week

I took a 1-week blog break because apparently I really needed it. I didn't do it on purpose, it just happened that way. And it was an absolutely wonderful and relaxing week, full of family hugs, sisterly bonding, delicious food, exercising outside, good friends, and at least 6 different visits to Target. 

I thought I didn't want to come home but boy was I wrong. Home = awesome. Being here has put things in perspective and has opened my eyes to a world that I had been avoiding for quite some time. I guess I just didn't want to come home to what didn't feel normal to me anymore. 

But, to tell you the truth, I've been really happy the last few days. It feels safe and peaceful and relaxing and comforting. I do miss Taiwan a lot, and Manuel and my kittens even more. But the one thing that I need perhaps the most right now in my life is security. And unfortunately, that is the ONE thing that Taiwan can not provide me at the moment. So, should I stay and feel safe and secure (and perhaps eventually bored)? Or should I go back and continue my adventure but at the risk of never finding security? The answer will come to me eventually. But for now, I'm just enjoying the time I have here and working my ass off to find a job that can sustain me in the near future.
