Pi-chan got a haircut lately. 
As always, some people will think it’s not appropriate for Shih Tzu dogs to wear such a short hair, but this makes her easy to walk in the sun during spring and summer season. Well, today’s post is not just that. I’m feeling so sad because I’m leaving for Australia tomorrow. I’m spending the next 40 days in Australia half for work, half for fun…but being separated from Pi-chan makes me so sad.

Everyday, I was thinking I’ve got X days more to be able to stay with Pi-chan. I’ve tried to spend as much time as possible with her to remember how she looks, how she smells, how she acts, and etc. Now I’ve got less than 24 hours from right at this moment when I’m writing this… To be honest, I feel like crying.

I guess I’ve never been away from her so long and I’m too much attached to her in everyday’s life. I’ve told her over and over again that I will come back about a month later and I am always thinking about her even if we are apart. I believe she understands that.
I’ve been wondering how I could say good bye just for now to Pi-chan when I leave home tomorrow. But I know I should not cry in front of her. It’s so tough to hold sadness and tears. The sadness sets off the excitement and I feel numb or neutral. I’m asking myself, “Didn’t I like travelling more than anything?” “Wasn’t it my dream to become a world traveller and that’s why I’ve been struggling to work from internet so far?”

I’m getting confused. What’s the real happiness to me now? I used to like shopping kawaii clothing, furniture, zakka, cups, bags, shoes and etc. so much but lately I’d rather feel like spending that time with Pi-chan napping together. I’m still confused with this change. It’s not the first time to be separated from her due to my travel. But now I wonder which is happy to me: to travel around the world or to stay at one good place with Pi-chan?

Writing makes me calm down. I feel better now. That’s why I love writing. Whenever I’m confused with sadness, madness, disappointment, anger, frustration, anxiety, depression or any negative feelings, I simply write them down and feel better. I know this will be a fruitful trip and I’ll for sure update TKE from Australia so please remain tuned!
*Wish me good luck~~*
