My last days in Belgium
After a couple of more fights,
and a few threatening by me to the internet providers, we finally have internet
in the office, so now its gas down trying to catch up on all the time I lost.
The time has finally arrived for
me to leave - gosh 2years fly!!! It has finally hit me, while rushing
around Brussels trying to close bank accounts, collect deposits, return my
residence card and visit some of my favour shops and spots, I have finally
realised that after all, Brussels was home. I think I will miss Belgium
terribly, the chaos, the Grand Place, the weird pple in the streets, the laundry
places and all my funny memories there, as well as my friends, our frequent
visits to El Mettico, Mezzo, Minos or Sphinx. As well as my visits to the
waffle man down the street or the Leonidas chocolates. I never thought i
would actually feel my eyes watery as I walk in the Grand Place admiring its
grandeur and splendor. I cannot believe I'm actually getting teary right
now!!! So let stop getting soppy!!!!
My time to start a new Thea
adventure has come, I have spent the whole month trying to clear my room and
pack stuff, I have rehearsed jumping on my suitcase a couple of times already,
so when the final time to close my suitcase and say bye to Belgium comes
I'll be ready!!!!!
I also cannot help doubting
myself, doubting if I did the right thing, when people tell me that I cannot
wear sleeveless tops, or I cannot smoke in the streets, or the men will stare,
or I will have to start from scratch and build myself a home once again.
Do I really feel like this? do I feel like starting from scratch? Or would
I rather go home and start a life I can finish? I do not know, but i guess
these are doubts that will always come up, doubts i had when i left for Belgium,
and doubts I had when I decided to run for MCP and stay another year in Belgium.
The greatest consolation is that is it very different from Belgium, new travels,
new continent, new way of seeing people, and I will make sure that I will not
make the same mistakes I made in Belgium - I will go for what I really want to
do, and will not fall into everyday routine.
Ahh cannot wait!!!!!!
Hopefully next Blog will be in Egypt
Will keep you updated
