I had Coffee with a friend today at one of my favorite cafes….the tango palace.
We were talking about our past, present and future.
I mentioned how much more comfortable I was in Japan…. About how everyone seemed more interested in me, my past, who I was and my work. When I came back to Canada I felt more alone among people I knew.
She said it was kinda natural, and to be expected. I have been in transistion, coming and going and gone for the last two years…. People change, move on, and become involved in other things and people.
I can not expect friends and family to just start where I left off. I have changed. So have they.
I guess I knew this but never had it put in such a distinct expression.
Hummmmm.
And then she stated that if I want to continue with my plans to head to warmth….to carry on a non-traditional life, I can expect to have to deal with the loneliness. It is one of the downsides of the choices I make….and it is not likely to be different.
This has created some more thinking and soul searching…..
Thanks Princess.This is what good friends are for.
