Traveling Back to Manila

Aware that this time I may not return for a long time.
Who knows when I'll be able to come back again.
It's always hard to leave home.
Always hard to leave family.

But the last few weeks have been busy. Tiring.

My time home has been an incredible gift and such a blessing. I got to see all my family. I got to spend time with my new born niece. I got to see friends and family that I've really missed. I got to connect with colleagues.

But, so much crammed in to such a short amount of time.

So, in a way... I'm looking forward to being back in Manila.
To being back home.

How is it possible to feel such a strong pull in so many different directions?

Twelve hours and nine minutes to Nagoya.
