Unpacking finished, time to unwrap my heart

How do I summarise the last 3 months? I changed countries one more time, I found a house and I finally unpacked the stuff I put away almost a year ago.

I was where I wanted to be, I had a job I liked and very quickly, to my surprise, I met a few people that made me feel a bit less alone. For once in a very long time I wasn’t sure what my next goal was and that somehow made me feel happy (very happy) and at the same time lost, with no sense of direction.

During that time, of course, a lot of food happened: A great birthday party with Grünkohl, a good amount of homemade pizzas, my first couscous in 3 years, and a barbecue at -3° C… It’s just a shame I have no pictures (I need to start putting remedy to that), because they were all memorable.

But then, just a few days ago, I read my dearest friend’s post about the book A brave new world, and somehow I felt a shiver down my spine. I was too busy laughing to remember that my heart is still tightly wrapped and protected by a thick layer of steel. So now the goal is to start opening it up, try not to be afraid of what people might think and risk a little bit more, even if the risk I take is getting hurt.

Wish me luck!
