Well hello, stranger!

[benitle]

I realized the last time I (really) updated this blog was shortly before I moved to New York in April. I'm currently on my last day of Christmas vacation, headed back to NYC tomorrow, so I figured I might as well use the occasion to stop by and say helloHello

This all sounds amazing. I envy you a lot for having the guts to make your dream come true :-) *sends hugs*

*hugs* Thank you so much! It all seems to be worth it now. Looking back, I quite can't believe the kind of year I've had.

How have you been?

I sometimes tell random friends about you. "I know this girl who moved to NY!". Everybody's really impressed (as they should be) :o)

Me? Ah. In many ways 2011 was a big disappointment as I'm no further careeer-wise than I was in January, but at least since I decided to work less hours in that stupid job I hate so much I've been overall more content. So that's something, I guess.

Awww, thank you! :o) Believe me, I've had more than one moment where I questioned my own sanity and asked myself why I ever thought moving that far away from my family and friends was ever a good idea. But then I remember how awesome NY is, despite it's flaws.

Sorry your career hasn't gone yet where you want to be. But at least you managed to do less of what makes you unhappy, so that is something. I hope 2012 will be your year!

I think you're completely amazing for going through with it! I mean, I keep saying that one day I'll move to London or Berlin but I know I never will. For one because I don't have a career (or could make one) that might take me there but also because I'm too chicken shit. So really, I think you're amazing. You're my hero.

Thank you! :)

*blush* Thank you! Quite honestly, I always saw myself traveling, but I never saw myself doing this. So you never know. Maybe you're just not ready yet. Maybe it will happen eventually.
