Starting Anew. Once Again.

October of 2007, I left San Diego, leaving all I had come to know behind and starting over back in Hong Kong. Exactly two years later, September of 2009, I’m back in the states, not to familiar faces or places I recognized, but a new place where I’m once again starting anew.
So after a couple extended business trips and a worrisome incident, which turned out for the better, my work has decided to get me a work visa. I have now officially moved to the Bay Area. I’m extremely grateful for the opportunities that have presented to me, and to everything that has happened leading up to this point in my life. Until this day, I still don’t know how I managed to go through the past 9 years since the day I first left Hong Kong. Obviously there were bumps on the way, but I guess there wasn’t much I would choose to do differently if the choices were to present themselves again. Looking back, things had always worked out for me in the end, and now I’ve learned to worry less and have more faith in life.
For the past couple months, I have been hectic with all the business of moving and settling down — finding a place, getting a car, etc. Now that I’m once again settled (let’s see how long it’ll last this time), I’m starting to reach out and find my social circle again. It’s always intimidating starting over, but I’m also excited about starting this new chapter in my life.
