Finding Home Abroad: Navigating the Frustrations and Joys of New Journeys
Finding positives in meltdowns.
Yesterday I had a mini meltdown, so my day ended with me watching a couple of episodes of a completely insane show that I feel a bit disturbed about.
Eating chocolate cake and took out what I thought was a sushi bowl, and it ended up being salmon on top of raw veggies. It was disgusting; luckily, I had a bag of chips and cake to soothe my soul.
I am still thinking about how messed up the show is called Dead Ringers on Amazon. Is anyone watching or watching it? Of course, I will continue watching it later, as I need clarification about what is happening.
Today I feel a bit more hopeful; yesterday, my world was crumbling around me, as that is what happens when a meltdown occurs, right?
My entire world was black, and the only way out was, well, apparently, bad food and a distraction. I have been working on a few projects, and yesterday, I wondered what was the purpose of it all and why I am still here, in Colombia.
I rented an apartment for the week because I needed to be alone, and now I wonder if a week is too long. Luckily when I woke up, I felt less doom and gloom and more hopeful.
