The curse of wanting more
There are two type of people: the ones that stay in their country and the ones who "dare" to go abroad. The first group have job in their country, with family all around and friends to go out with, all familiar places and things. Things don't change much and that is nice. The second group goes somewhere for various reasons wanting who knows what. For them things change, and change, and change. A lot!
Doing a PhD in London means a lot of things for me: meeting new people, trying new food, learning new phrases and swear words of new languages :-), learning about new cultures, new customs, different combination of food in the same meal and so on (one day I have to start writing what i have learned while staying in London). But it also mean people coming and going all the time.
Well this is something I can not get used to. After living with someone they become your family. You share their problems, happy moments, dilemmas and fun. And they unfortunately share your bad moods apart from other things :-). As I am writing this, my "London family" is going to Australia and who knows when I am going to see them again. I am so sad. That can be understood only if you live with someone. I am going to miss them so.
I feel like losing one part of me.
