A Journal of a Journey to the Past

Yes, my visit was short but I think I did everything that I wanted to do. It was enough. It was sufficient. Some things changed and some other things remained. But what I learned from my short trip to Bucharest is that there will be a time when you were the one who have to make the changes, but in other opportunities you are destined to watch and learn from what you see.

Frankfurt

Those were my experienced traveling some part of Europe, outside Germany. Now to keep the story inside Germany, I had a lovely time in Frankfurt. I only had three days left. And by three days, I meant three days before I left Germany for good. Regardless, it was well spent because I stayed with a warm family, my parent's friend, who has three wonderful children named Nadira, Egi and the youngest, Andien. They didn't just let me stay in their house but they gave me a tour around Frankfurt and showed me interesting spots like seeing Frankfurt city from the 56-story of Commerzbank Tower.

Jakarta

Now that I'm finally back, there are many things that have to be done. And the first thing that I must do before starting the other is to accept. Yes, acceptance; accept that I am back where I used to be and to catch up some missing moments of the six months. It was actually a hit on the head for me to realize everything that has changed. It's not just few things but there were plenty and the best thing that I could possibly do is to accept it and move on, keeping up with the running time. Because once you accept the way things are then you won't have to worry of wasting more energy to regret it.

Funny how time passed so fast and made me realize that a year had passed. I'm in these days where I reflect back into the occasion that happened exactly a year ago; "This day, a year ago, I was departing from Jakarta to Dusseldorf!", "Last year, on this exact same day, we arrive in Germany!" and so on.

You see we've done so many things, but for the undone things, there are way more. Maybe sometimes I'm regretting the things that I didn't do but since regretting won't take anyone anywhere, the wisest words that I would say to my friends and also myself to remind is "Enjoy while it lasts". :)

And now the train has stopped. This is probably my final destination. Probably not. Maybe it's time to hop on another train. This time I'll sit facing forward.
