Now its sinking in!!
Entry 3 of 195 | show all | print this entry |
Well, we left work approx an hour and a half ago....until today I think that everything that we have planned for absolutely ages was just that, a plan, a dream, something that we longed to be realised, but wasn't, and today seemed so far in the future, I guess it felt like today would never come. Everyone has dreams, very few realise their dreams, maybe deep down we felt like those people. But today, it started to sink in...BIG STYLE!!
All the talk, all the books, all the surfing the net, all the buying backpacks, all the searching out flights....all the planning and all the researching...nothing prepared either of us for today.
I was fine, sitting at my desk, answering the phone, surfing the internet, playing solitaire (cos its been sooo quiet!!), serving customers, clearing my desk,then I started looking around, Ive been in this job 4 years...my longest job in fact since I left college, I had customers coming in saying goodbye, I looked at little things like my stapler...which has my name tipexed across the top of it, my kinder egg monkeys on my desk, the coffee machine...things that have been a part of my life everyday for the past 4 years...and I just thought...hey....I am going waaaaaay out of my comfort and familiar zone here...these things wont be mine anymore....it was then that I shed some tears...and realised...I am going to live my dream.
Iv e never spent the whole day with a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes, and just sighing all the time, everything around me today seemed so quiet, even the streets seemed empty?!
Dont get me wrong, not once have I had second thoughts, or regretted anything about giving up my comfortable life here in the UK and travelling the world...but today it all became real.
As I hugged Steve goodbye at work I knew that I REALLY was going to miss him tons, his jokes, the way he annoys me sometimes, I guess working from 8am - 5pm everyday with someone for 4 years...you will miss them...you get to know them...they become part of you in a way.
So, now I sit in our flat, jobless!!! And in 9 days I shall be homeless too!!
But I am going to do what Ive wanted to do my whole life, everything that I have ever dreamt of, with a person who is so very special to me, someone I love to bits, who makes me scream with laughter, someone who holds me when I am sad and laughs with me when im happy....the right person...we all get to that place one day...and I can happily say that I am there....Im gonna live my dream and enjoy it...because not everyone gets the chance.
