LoveJY

Songbirds and Cherry Blossoms

I miss the long drive from LA to San Diego.

I miss having to run across the beach because the sand’s so hot.

But

I love that I just came back from Nanjing.

I love that I’ve already been to Shanghai, Beijing, Kunming, and Changzhou too.

I love that I’m planning to buy tickets tomorrow to see my parents in Chengdu.

I love that I can buy fruit extra cheap off the streets at midnight.

I love that it’s cold enough to use an electric blanket to warm up my bed before I climb in.

I love that my sense of family has changed for the better.

I love that I really do feel more Chinese, not just by association, but by learning through experience.

I love that even though I get frustrated with crowdedness and pushiness, there are acts of kindness to be seen everywhere.
