it took a year of frugality for me to realize that E and I actually need very little to survive. hard it may be at times, it was a valuable lesson. the constant moving taught us that we are freer when we have less stuff, giving is liberating, needing little implies we are focussing on what we have. returning to my home country, returning to work, shedding the armour of "solitary student-life", i find myself fighting the waves of consumerism.
on another subject, i'm grateful that i'm beginning to have more time to myself for good thoughts and ideas. i'm slowly adjusting to the pace of life here and i'm exhibiting my usual introvert behavior - i need to learn how to manage the external forces to keep my inner ashram noise-free. Am currently loving Ms Daria's loveliness. (sometimes when i'm missing C, this image would float to my mind...)

inspira - don't crack your brain open thinking where to go, i'm sure we'll have a good time wherever! xoxo, exp.
