Day off
Took today off, just for fun, and because I'm really tired of working at the moment. I seriously need some time away (at least year or something within that time frame). I'm playing more and more with the thought of accepting another challenge, like my au-pair year in New York a couple of years back. Maybe this time to the other end of the world? Australia? New Zealand? It sounds interessting and I always wanted to go there.
On the other hand I'm not twenty anymore and my parents no longer provide for me. Food, clothes, an apartment ... it doesn't pay for itself. And it's not like I don't like to go to work, or be independent. It's nice to be able to do what you want, because you earned the money for it yourself.
And it would be really hard to say goodbye to everybody again. It wasn't easy the first time around, and it certainly won't get easier the second time around. I miss my family enough now that I "only" live 4 hours away, instead on the other end of the world.
So, nevermind my musings ... every other month this thought of "running wild" crosses my mind, just to be abandoned the next day for the simple truth: In the end I really enjoy being home! :)
