For the
last month or so I have been MIA from all social media and you know how they
say that it is something we all should? Well I disagree! Maybe it is good for a
couple of days, like a mini detox, but a couple of weeks? Not so sure…
I’ve missed
you guys! Of course I am well aware that I don’t know all of you personally but
your comments and messages and all that fun interaction was apparently
something I was really looking forward to, throughout my day.
First of
all thank you for your concern but fortunately nothing bad happened. The
Instagram stories and posts will start appearing again and from a whole new
place. You see, my dear followers I decided it was time to go out of my comfort
zone, so I packed my bags and moved almost as far as could but still be inside
my country. I took on a very demanding but interesting and fulfilling job
somewhere I’ve never been before, Santorini.
For many
travelers Santorini is a must-go destination or a lifelong dream trip. It
wasn’t for me, I am what we call a ‘city girl’, so I hadn’t visited this island,
nor did I ever had the wish for it. But when an opportunity for a really nice
job appeared, I took it. And here is where you should pay attention to my
choice of words. I didn’t ‘jump on it’ like any other person would, I just accepted
it…
I saw the
faces of the people who asked me where I was heading to, light up with
excitement, wishing me good luck and telling me how they’d like to come with
me. All the while I remained impassive, too shocked by my own decision to leave
everything I knew behind. And not without reason.
I’ve heard
somewhere ‘leap and a net shall appear’. Last year I saw a very near and dear person
leap and a net stubbornly refused to appear. I saw this person fall and
struggling not to crush. Now, that came my time to jump, I did it very
reluctantly and with a dose of fear. But I did it. I leapt. It wasn’t easy but
surrendering everything familiar to me was both terrifying and freeing.
Maybe it is
a little soon to tell but I think I can see the net. Maybe for me it appeared.
Maybe it will vanish just when I’m about to touch it. Only time will tell. Now,
I am just trying to enjoy the ‘fall’, like a first time bungee jumper, equally
thrilled and scared.
Will the
net appear? Will the rope hung on? I
know I am…
KISSES.
E!
