We all know it's hard moving to new place, especially moving from
a big bustling city to a developing town. I did. It's been a year and it hasn't
been easy. I have been exposed as being shy and a little socially challenged.
Making new friends is kind of hard especially if you are also working on not
losing the ones back home. Finding things to do in a town that is less exciting
than one you are used to is... well... challenging. In this developing town I
live and work in, it’s so monotonous. It's all about gardens and night clubs. I
am a literary person, I like wild nights spaced with quiet poetry recitals.
The transition to a slower pace can and
did expose new sides of me; I have been the couch potato, the procrastinator
and the burgeoning hermit. I then decided to get off my butt and do stuff. But
not only my bad side came out; I became more entrepreneurial, independent,
curious, more put together with thoughts and plans for the future. It has been
a ride.
For you out there in this same situation
don't lose hope, you just have a new opportunity to do something different.
Take the chance
