exciting, informative, snarky, and very likely fabricated tales of life as an american expat in london

my heart is reeling, this is that fresh feeling

what is it about big changes that makes everything seem different? it’s like suddenly seeing the world through a different set of eyes. everything shiny and bright around the edges with newness.

i forgot how much i enjoy change. i thrive on change. change is one of the few constants of my life.

and yet somehow i’d forgotten that. this job was the longest job i’ve ever had. london is the second longest place i’ve ever lived.

how could i forget how exhillarating change is?

i hate leaving people behind – i have left good friends behind with lumpy throat and wet eyes more times than i care to remember.

and yes, it’s a bit nervewracking. more than a bit sometimes. but i never regret it.

and somehow i ended up in this rut, where it seemed all i could see were the high, nondescript walls of the groove i had fallen into… and i forgot what it is like to have a view of all options spread about before me like a lush landscape thick with new greenery.

a clean break, fresh start. heart thudding, nerves awake, eyes wide.

i’ve missed this.

eels – fresh feeling
