Adios Enero! What a month. It began with working and packing, swimming and yoga, creative dates and love fit into schedules. I moved out of my house, quit my jobs, sold all of my possessions that couldn’t fit into a hiker’s backpack, said goodbye and took a flight.
More than anything or anyone directly or specifically, I am missing feelings. I am missing being held. I am missing holding. I am missing shared histories and making new stories together. I am missing the indescribable experience of a giggle attack with a 12 year old.
And now I am feeling strong. My knees are holding together incredibly well with at least three hours of walking a day. I think the warm weather and fatty food help a lot. I’m often very tired here, but that’s what happens when you start eating
carne for the first time in eight years. Even when I am tired, I have a glow, and it’s noticeable. I drink at least 2 litres of water a day and take my vitamins and probiotics like I couldn’t walk, breathe or sleep without them. I’m laughing often. Usually at myself, and then with others, at myself.
I am
feeling inspired. I am surrounded by creative, motivating individuals. A switch has turned on in my mind and I am willing to jump in so many directions.
I am placing trust in the world around me.
And my phrasebook.
