When the moment arrives

The site is up for renewal and I have not much to say these days.

Sad, that it should end like this.

It’s been two months since I made my transition from a student to a “working woman”. OK, that’s a really ridiculous way to put it but yes, I am working for an NGO that works for the mentally ill and homeless.

The transition hasn’t been easy. I am still living in a hostel, although this one doesn’t have curfews but I have had to start things from scratch. Build my life around my ambitions. Make new friends. Start with a clean slate again.

There was a point when late in the evening I went knocking on the doors of random houses asking if the owners were renting out their place along with a colleague of mine. Someone even told us that this was not very appropriate for young ladies. Ha. The apartment hunt proved to be futile but never in my life have I so stepped out of my comfort zone and enjoyed it so much. These small inconsistent joys coming my way thrill me more than a grand plan of life in motion (which I don’t have in any case).

I think it would suffice to say that I am happy now with what I have but that doesn’t make me content. It’s like I have only started exploring my aptitude, my desires, my incompetencies and my dreams. I hope to travel a lot this year, complain a bit less and learn a lot from this job. I hope to find someone who stays special even after the first encounter. I hope to finally learn how to fly a kite. And maybe not to topple over someone after the third shot of rum.

It will happen. All in good time.
