being thankful once again

Its been one of those. dramas have such an impact on people's hearts i think. sometimes i get my source of motivation from watching these dramas. they make you wana work hard, wana fall in love, wana have a certain way of proposing, setting up your living room... etc.

I, on the other hand, has had this feeling of being thankful for the small little things in my life. like having someone I could come home to. whether is it human or birds. haha. my 2 small little parakeets are really making me love them and hate them at the same time. but at the end of the day, i'm just thankful of them being just here. sometimes i sit down and observe them for a bit, sometimes i let them out. as i am typing this, they are both resting on my shoulders, of which i have no idea when is the next moment they would poop on me. something which I have already grown used to.

sometimes i skype my friends with them on me, sometimes i brush my teeth with them on me. sometimes i even eat with them on me.

i used to think they're really great to get off that loneliness in tokyo especially when you're living alone in a foreign land. but they've grown to be a part of who i am here and i really dont feel that sense of commodifying them nor the sense of burden or responsibility to have to come home to feed them or something. they're just a part of me now..

as i romanticize my recent thoughts with lots of romance dramas and books, i still cant imagine how it can all work out...
