yep, they kicked me out of NL - as an aussie i'm allowed 90 days out of 6 months in schengen area countries in the EU...the company i was working for kept extending my contract, which was initially 3 months...saying that i'd be ok to stay past the 90 days...right up until the 90 days was about to expire, then their position changed so i had to get out quickly - within 3 days of meeting with their HR department. not great news when you've started seeing someone - that kind of knocked the wind out of those sails...so i jumped on the Eurostar train from Brussels Zuid station, through a bit of France, under the English Channel tunnel and got off at the first stop in the UK - Ebbsfleet, to be picked up by Benny and Poppy - Lou was out on a Hen's night for Nicole...
a couple of nights near Strood, then a bus with Benny up to London, tube out to Heathrow, Singapore Airlines business class out to Singapore...and here i've been for the past 5.5 weeks
Don't Fight It - the name of a song from The Panics latest album, which i'm finding a bit of comfort in at the moment - and which may end up being a Dirty Scooter Crew cover in the next couple of years - basically the way i take the lyrics is - there's invisible things in your life that you end up fighting against with your emotion and energy, but that can be exhausting...and i've been fighting for the past 5.5 weeks and i'm exhausted - letting it go and realising it feels kind of energising
...and another line which i'm quite liking - "with God as my witness" - not going to make any pronouncements about converting to this or that...but it also kind of helps when i think of my actions under the notice of someone who knows everything but won't judge me - bringing my actions/ thoughts/ emotions into the light helps too
where does that all leave me...in Singapore for another 6 days then heading North to the UK and then Venezuela til mid December...then ?????????????????????
Don't fight it :)
