Having been in Singapore for almost 8 years, it feels like it is time to move on and make a change. Time to explore new and scary places and situations. The feeling that was just in the back of my head is now one that occupies my thoughts in a constant manner.
This is the land where I transitioned from a little 16 year old kid to whatever it is I am today. The majority of memories of my life are based on landmarks and places in this small country which has given me so much. I have made friends, broken hearts, loved like a fool, been loved by an angel, failed like an idiot, been betrayed, succeeded in unlikely places and have met so many wonderful people who through unlikely circumstances have become a big part of my life.
But this life that have given me so much is feeling like a burden day by day. I feel disconnected with the real world and the strife associated with living pretty much anywhere else in the world but Singapore. Is this a preemptive strike against the misfortune that is about to befall me, an attempt to run away from the comfortable or is it a much needed voyage of self discovery? I am teetering now between being brave and being practical.
Left to be seen what this year will bring, radical changes or slow transitions…..
