You need to know yourself in order to love yourself. I don’t need people to understand me and tell me who I am because I know who I am. I wouldn’t bother trying to understand me, things would just get complicated.

it was a surprise when I left school, became a model, and started making money. I got married young and my husband, the polo pro, earned enough money for us to pay rent and pay our travel expenses (would you believe the polo patrons make their pros pay their travel expenses and rent!)

I’m happy to have re-joined the WordPress community. You may also be wondering why I started a new page instead of picking up Diary of a Daydreamer again. The truth is, I logged in there earlier today with the intention of doing just that. However, after the amount of time that’s gone by and all the changes I’ve experienced in my life the last 3 years, the idea to start fresh just felt right.

In part, this blogpost is some sort of catharsis; a justification to myself that it’s okay I didn’t move to Berlin in 2020, regardless of how many people I told about my plan or how much I wanted it. But moreso, it’s a championing of letting life do its thing. An oddly fitting side note to the Berlin saga is that I went to four broken photo booths in one day before finally finding one where I could get new passport pictures. The lord works in mysterious ways. When the tech company I was working for ran out of money and fired 300+ people at the start of April, I was on the cusp of a promotion (the latest juicy carrot I’d created for my donkeylike self to trod towards), so it was a pretty rubbish letdown. But, no pickaxes this time. I choose to be of the mindset that it wasn’t meant to be.

Invariably during my runs, especially on those long and tedious runs, I discover inspirations from my adrenaline pumped body, environment, or running partners. These inspirations are what I called my Buddha moments. I suppose I could have called them the Eureka moments. But since most of these inspirations are of a spiritual nature, the Buddha won.

I did need to keep a check on my training volume whilst the little one grew inside me – and following her arrival, my daily fitness dose has been much more “what’s possible” as opposed to “what’s optimal”. And that’s fine.

My made family did a Thanksgiving, which I have done many times for many other holidays, including Christmas, many times. I love those holidays. There is no watch what you say, moments of feeling worthless, having to fight to be considered a grown-up (even though I’ve taken care of myself all by myself for 20 years) I don’t cry on the holidays I spend with my made family. I feel wanted. Family why do we let them get by with so much more than we do other people? I can honestly say I have cut off some of my family members and it’s amazing, tricky because some of the family I still talk to and love, and they love me which is an important factor, and some of them want the traditional idea of family. Family is an interesting thing but it’s something we are all chasing.

I want to be able to blog, chill, eat what I want when I want, see friends and family. Not that I have many friends at the moment or entirely want any.

When putting my life onto a slide to gaze at under a microscope, I have faced so much hardship that helps my educational trajectory make sense. I have: been homeless, experienced insane financial burden, dealt with a long-term relationship break up, lost friends, and so much more. Sometimes it’s hard waking up in the morning and realizing that my student life could’ve been so different if I had it easy, but on the other hand I wouldn’t be the person I am today without each of those experiences guiding me along my new pathway into adulthood.
