This place is a curse and a blessing all at once. It's been 10 months, to the day almost, since I last posted here. And I'm still not sure I should come back. I want to though. I want to come home. At the same time, this place can be like a vortex. It sucks you in and you're transported to another realm. An easier realm.
It's an escape. An addiction. Comfort food. And I did miss it. *smiles*
It's been a year almost, to the day, that I left Belgium and moved to Norway. I cannot believe it's been that long already. I do like my new life here and it doesn't really feel that different. Granted..it took some getting used to at first. Different food, steep prices, a house instead of an apartment, with a gorgeous garden for my cats. And in-laws living here during the summer and various moments during the year. They're really kind people though
I also like the fact that I get to see my sweetheart again every day, and he's in my bed again, every night. The year apart was not ideal, for sure. However, I sometimes miss my social life. My irl friends in Belgium, the games we played. Truth be told though...we were drifting apart as it was anyways. People moved away (like us), had children...life happened. And while I'm perfectly content in my little bubble, in our home, I do sometimes miss being amongst..friends, I guess.
I've been studying the language and am trying to pass the native speaker test here, so I can get into college. Hopefully then, I'll meet some new people though they will likely not be of my age group. My 9th language. It's still not an easy project and it still takes a humongous amount of energy to learn. Think I'll retire from the language department after this though. *grin*
Still...I guess, that's why I'm drawn back here. It's home. It's familiar, cozy and has a ton of friendly, familiar and unfamiliar faces/nicknames. I should know better by now. Moth to Flame. The light is so pretty though...mind if I just stay and gaze..just for a little while?
