12 — A Bonrue
It’s funny but somehow, it seems I’m at the cusp of a big move every time I write here.
Last time I was moving from one city in the south-east to another city in the south-east. This time I’m moving from the south-east to the south-west. Last time, I was moving from one job to another job. This time, Its just me and my dreams. I’m literarily going back to class. I must say its an exciting journey so far. Exhilarating and scary at the same time. I have to learn to manage things like MY time. I woke up this morning hoping that today would be easier.
On my schedule today were meetings with a) a potential client b) an estate agent c) a blinds man from the great big tejuosho.
a) and c) went pretty well. b)?? Not so much. Seriously, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if estate agents would just try their darnedest to tell the truth once in a while, would it? I don’t understand how a person can, poker faced, tell you a house has this and that and then go through hell and high waters to convince you of the “genuineness” of his “intentions” towards you, only for you to get the said house and his next words are copiously peppered with “errmmm…ashually…you see…” After wasting my time and money.
Oh well, lying agents aren’t a problem. Surprisingly, moving isn’t a problem neither is the uncertainty that’s the future and the fact that I do not have any way to know how this “brave” move (like my nearest and dearest like to call it) will pan out. I’m not even worried about the fact that henceforth, I’m supposed to pay ME. No, that doesn’t bother me.
You know what scares me shitless?
I don’t know what I’m going to do after this.
I’m sitting in the dark, in the house I grew up in, wondering where I will run to when the wanderlust sets in. Where will I go when I feel like a new challenge? The only thing I know how to do best, apart from succeed, is “migrate”.
Where will I go?
These are the issues…
