The first day of the rest of my life..
I wonder what I'm meant to be feeling at this juncture? I mean, In so many ways I'm one of the most privileged people I know. How many people can truly leave behind all their previous responsibilities and ties and throw themselves into a future free from outside influence. It's the freedom so many people yearn for.
But of course it comes at a price. And it's interesting how much at the moment I'm looking around me at the people who are secured in their place by family or work or the payments on the house renovations and think: "How marvelously simple your life is". So many decisions are made for you in that concrete life, and you can derive a sense of yourself from the things you do and the people who rely on you.
Still, I am feeling very fortunate. I miss my old life and its familiarity, but I can only look forward.. and I'm looking to create a positive future to look into... want to be part of it?
