Being busy

February was a busy month. It's filled with a mix of project work-related and initiative-related activities. People say that if you don't want to miss someone (or loved ones) you have to make yourself busy. You must do something that will divert your attention. Based from the busy month I had, I can confirm that it's not always true. Like almost everything in the universe, it depends on a lot of factors. For one, the things you're doing will only worsen your homesickness if it reminds you of the people you miss. Your endeavors may immerse your mind into something else but when it's done, you have nothing more to think about but those people you want to be with.

Nevertheless, what matters is that you've become busy for a while to think of something else, to make yourself happy if it's just a few hours or minutes. Those precious brief moments are essential to keep the mind and heart uplifted instead of thinking too much of the things you desired, which will have to wait.
