My arms are home, to the warmth of his life, may he feel so. I always want him to be happy. He is a kitten I adopted a month ago when he was only two months old.
He is a male kitten which I name AL. There are a lot of things that changed in my life and my family after the presence of AL in our house. I will share the positive changes we felt after I had AL.
This is indeed the first time I have taken a cat seriously. Before, I only fed the ownerless cats that came to my yard.
A month ago the AL still looked so shy. But he quickly got along with me, the first time I picked him up at the Pet Shop.
Now AL is growing well and healthily. I'm happy to see AL's furs grow beautifully, and AL has a nice tail.
With AL, I realized that every moment is precious. The things that have passed can never be repeated. The cute things about AL that used to be about to pass away are carried away by time into the past. Many things will then happen ahead. Maybe AL will grow up to be an adult male cat who is not as cute as before.
But with my love for AL, at least that will maintain the perception that AL will remain the cute cat in my heart.
Before AL, we often spent very little conversation with our fellow family members. It was like we had our own busy lives that couldn't be bothered.
After AL, we often gather together to watch AL's funny behavior. We also talked about AL habits.
So we mostly gather in the living room, or just take the time to ask each other about our situation.
This is a positive change because AL brings a warm atmosphere to our family. It is like the sunshine that comes after the rain. Warms back the closeness between our families. AL is indeed the ablest to unite many hearts.
I'm still struggling to get better mental health. I often get caught up in a lot of negative thoughts when I'm not busy.
Adopting the AL this year was the most correct decision for me. I was really ready, and AL helped me have positive energy in my life.
When I feel down with things around me or some things that I fail to do, I immediately walk out of the house with AL.
Before AL, my mental condition was getting worse because I didn't want to leave the house. With AL, I have reasons to leave the house more often.
The good news is that I am getting closer to my neighbors. They always invited me to chat with enthusiasm when they brought AL. It really pleases me like I have a lot of people I know better because I have AL.
I am indeed a workaholic person. I enjoy spending time in front of my laptop, writing or spending time in the kitchen experimenting with new recipes.
Having the AL's presence in my life, taught me to take a moment. To pay attention to AL, to pay attention to other things around me.
I just realized that pausing for a moment is good for me. It refreshes my mind and helps me get rid of my stubbornness.
AL carries out his role well as my friend who can always get rid of my stress.
I am very grateful to have AL and I feel this is the best decision to change my life in my year.
How about you? What positive changes have there been in your life when you had pets?
