I have been daydreaming ever since I left that place. People usually call me a daydreamer, but I refuse to agree with them. I guess they are right in saying that after all.I think there comes a moment in life when even you are surprised of the temporary mask you are wearing due to some circumstances that may be favorable or not. I can call myself lucky for a bunch of reasons, however, the most important aspect is that regardless of the circumstances, I will always find a way to rediscover myself, my true self I mean ; find my inner voice and my strength that kept me going for a long time. It is surprisingly funny how living in a place for one year has changed me so much. In the beginning, I was regarded more as a shy girl who dreads talking to people and who cannot adjust to a new environment. I proved myself the exact opposite and I couldn’t be more proud of myself.At the end of the day it is about creating the comfort from home when being far away from home, right? Moreover, I learned that being surrounded by positive and well-minded people can shape your life to such an extent that you feel they are your second family ; they are there to support you and to make your life more entertaining and meaningful I would say.I would never have imagined I am gonna love Amsterdam so much.Still, the beginning was quite challenging, like super challenging. It took time, effort and determination to discover the hidden treasures of this gorgeous place and also to get to know people better than a first impression. The beginning of a journey is always and inevitably challenging, but it is up to us to challenge ourselves in order to get rid of this anxiety following us when starting such a journey. We can do it, I trust that we all can! I trust that we have that grain of confidence and optimism that tells us to keep going and never look back. Just keep calm and live in the moment I would say. Oh and by the way, living in the moment is another thing that I definitely learned during my one-year experience in Amsterdam so far. The spontaneity of things going around in general thrilled me enormously and I must day I liked it. I was even told so many times to go with the flow and I listened. Over all, it was a bless and I can imagine that more is to come. Until then, Vienna is calling me! Auf wiedersehen xoxo
