Reality

Hi,

Hi you guys. You may think I am having the time of a life time, but things are never what you think they will be. I have been feeling disconnected, lost and lonely quite a bit of the time here. The culture and language are completely different, and I miss my friends and the familiarity of home. Making new friends takes time. Also miss having a job to go to and distract me from the intensity of self.

However, that all said, somehow I know this is where I am supposed to be. I guess I'm learning, and that's not always fun, but will probably be rewarding. I've only been here a couple of weeks, and apparently it takes longer than that to feel at home somewhere as completely different as this. There is a big difference between going somewhere for a vacation, and putting your life in storage for an open-ended adventure. I know I can come home any time I want to, and that makes it possible for me to stay a bit longer and see what develops.

Life is insane no matter where you are and what you're doing. Ah, the human condition. Gotta love it.

Bye for now, Jacquie
