A year has gone…

Today I commemorate the beginning of my expat days… in that very day last year I started a journey I don’t know when it will end or even if it will ever end at all.

I started this journey with hopes, ambitions, dreams and a vision of a definite tomorrow. Little did I know that this journey will be the premature start of a new life in which I will lose a dream or…… two, have no sight of my vision and look down on my – used to be – ambitions.

Looking back at the person I used to be is like looking at a 10 years old photo of yourself… you don’t really realize how much you changed until you open the photo album.

I have come a long way and there is no looking back now… I have locked up all my memories in the locker of time hoping that oblivion will be so kind to make me forget the combination. I guess I am not there yet.
"Experience is not what happens to a man; it is what a man does with what happens to him."

Aldous Huxley (1894 - 1963)
