First, second and third generation _____________________ Last meal with my brother, grandmama and two of my aunties in Taipei before leaving tomorrow. Can’t believe two weeks have passed. .. Missing my mummers, other aunties and uncles, younger cousins and my beloved grandpapa. Love you always, may you rest in peace... . . . #qualitytime #lunch #family #support #care #tea #love #appreciate #memories #home #Taipei #Taiwan #thirdgeneration #springbreak #trip #food #Asians #blessed #adorable #Asian #Taiwanese #Taiwanesegirl #travel #mothersside #bonding #neverenough #roots #noplacelikehome #fam #familyphotography

外公 - Grandpapa _____________________ I walk down the road towards my grandmama and grandpapa’s home and I am reminded. There’s a photograph of grandpapa and me in the park before the bridge. I was around one and half years old. Grandpapa wore his glasses and had a cigarette in his right hand. He held my left arm with his left hand. This was the park we used to play in when I was still living in my country. ... I cross the bridge and I am reminded. Grandpapa used to walk the dog here before going to different food stalls for a quick nibble to eat. ... I turn right onto grandmama and grandpapa’s street, and I am reminded. Grandpapa always sat outside next to the house and played Chinese chess with the neighbors. Sometimes he would get upset because the neighbor was a sore loser or they simply touched a piece but moved a different one. A simple chess game became a discussion about character and ethics. ... I enter grandmama and grandpapa’s house, and I am reminded. Grandpapa used to sit in his chair and ask if I remember living here with them as a child before moving to America. He would regale me with stories of my childhood, which I could never recall because I left before turning two. .. Now his chair is empty... No more stories. No more chess games. No more discussions. No more walks. No new photographs. Now there are only memories of a time passed. . . . #reflections #thoughts #quotes #words #passion #writing #writerslife #writers #writer #writersnetwork #Taiwanese #writtenword #creativewriting #spilledthoughts #WritingCommunity #follow #poet #emotions #poems #self #human #readwriteunite #life #wanghsuehli #writinglife #Taiwanesegirl #poetry #connection #death @mirakeeapp @writersnetwork

Home _____________________ It’s a bittersweet feeling to be home. Much has changed, yet, in other ways, everything is as it ever was. It’s been five years since I last returned. Memories are all we have to hold onto. Maybe that’s where immortality lies. .. The will heart always yearn for a place called home. . . . #traveller #travel #travelgram #instatraveling #travelislife #globletrotter #TheTravelWomen #dametraveler #femmetravel #explore #womenwhoexplore #travellingthroughtheworld #travelawesome #wanderlust #treasure #travelphotography #travelogue #home #memories #Taipei #Taiwan #follow #family #art #life #memories #teacher #thirties #Taiwanese #Taiwanesegirl

Deaths of my heart _____________________ I’ve been on a rather lengthy hiatus lately given the various circumstances. Sometimes decompression is needed for sanity to prevail. Other times, it’s simply closure... Living and working abroad as a teacher comes with its perks, but it also comes with sacrifice. Deaths are never easy but it pains more when you’re unable to be with family. .. I’m not quite there yet, but I know with time, if I allow myself to feel what I’ve spent so long escaping, wounds will eventually heal. . . . #reflections #thoughts #quotes #words #passion #writing #writerslife #writers #writer #writersnetwork #Taiwanese #writtenword #creativewriting #spilledthoughts #WritingCommunity #follow #poet #emotions #poems #self #human #readwriteunite #life #wanghsuehli #writinglife #Taiwanesegirl #poetry #connection #pain @mirakeeapp @writersnetwork

Moussa Castle _____________________ I stumbled across this peculiar castle situated between Deir el Qamar and Beit Ed-Dine. It was built by Moussa Abdel Karim el Maamari who, at a young age, was inspired by the Middle Ages and wanted to build a castle. The castle includes very interesting displays of weapons, clothes, jewelry and various human sized figures. It’s definitely a sight! If you’re in Lebanon, check it out. . . . #traveller #travel #travelgram #instatraveling #travelislife #globletrotter #TheTravelWomen #dametraveler #femmetravel #explore #womenwhoexplore #travellingthroughtheworld #travelawesome #wanderlust #treasure #travelphotography #travelogue #architecture #history #Lebanon #castle #follow #weapons #architecture #clothes #jewelry #tb #thirties #Taiwanese #Taiwanesegirl

Addicted to the experience of being human. Sometimes I fear and wish I could be saved from my emotions, for they are far too grand for my liking. Yet, at times, they serve as the only element that grants me compassion. Oh, what a delicate balance between torment and pleasure. _____________________ . . . #reflections #thoughts #quotes #words #passion #writing #writerslife #writers #writer #writersnetwork #Taiwanese #writtenword #creativewriting #spilledthoughts #WritingCommunity #follow #poet #emotions #poems #self #human #readwriteunite #life #wanghsuehli #writinglife #Taiwanesegirl #poetry #connection #mirakee @mirakeeapp @writersnetwork101
