CONTEXT:
Someone asked me
- “what was I going to do immediately after my parents left me”
at my campus room.
- “Alone?”.
So, then, I promised myself that
- “I'll write a blog.
To experience what I’m feeling and to better express myself through writing”.
You probably thought that I would write about how I feel about living here on my own from now on. Well, I have no idea. It’s too soon to have a formed opinion.
And, honestly, I don’t even know what to write about. I feel nothing. No sadness for the fact that my parents left and they’ll miss me terribly, no fear even though I’m alone here, just emptiness. Like I’m ready to be filled with the adventure of finding out new things, of discovering cool places. To have a clean slate, to start things from 0.
You don’t know the common language, although everyone speaks English, so that’s ok. Oh, wait! There’s no translation in English on food products?
Tip!
Be careful not to get sour milk, instead of the perfect, savory milk that you desire – like I did!
Ok, that may suck.
But you meet new people, to whom you can now introduce the best version of yourself that you have been accumulating throughout the years. You can reshape your persona – because people don’t know anything about you beforehand. So you can become anyone!
No, I’m kidding with that last part. But the part about the “best version” is for real. Anybody understand that? Cuz if you do, good for you!
Plus, you get to learn about the thing that you're most interested about. You get to do what you're most passionate about. Every. Day. You can evolve and develop yourself in all kinds of ways. You make connections and create ideas for the future. For YOUR future.
That's awesome.
I’m sorry, I’m rambling around. But that’s because I honestly don’t know what to write about and this is just me having a typical conversation.
Oh, just a little bit more context: I’ve just moved to the Netherlands and am starting my freshman year in 6 days. Yup, this is going to be one of those things… when I’ll write impressions from time to time about me, staying in a different country, on my own, being responsible and independent (on my parents' money). Like a diary…
Ok, not like a diary, but I’ll just make updates.
So, things are good for now, how about that for an opinion?
