Leaving behind

Places are the people and experiences connected to them. The studio was a very lonely place for the most part. There were no friends and a bunch of sad memories connected to it. Still, the tiny place was "my home" for more than 5 years, my little refuge. I carried a key to its door for 5.10 years. 

Today that place goes back into the rentals market. My story is now going into a new direction and I have a new home.

I'm leaving behind 5.10 years. Just that.

Qué semana

De todas las cosas que podían salir mal, muchas lo hicieron. De manera particular, el destino decidió jugar con mi tiempo, todo el tiempo. Retrasos, conexiones perdidas, sueño no repuesto, cambios, frustración, lluvia y frío. Fue una semana especialmente larga y difícil. 

On the irony, the changes and the overwhelming related feelings

I have been awake for many hours by now. Started my Wednesday at 4:40 after a not at all good sleep. The studio is humid and cold and empty. I'm exhausted. I'm upset and extremely emotional. A 40 minutes delay sounds to me like a schedule change... 40 minutes are an eternity when being this tired. And the taxi is always there, before the agreed time and I function badly because I haven't slept properly. And the cat is probably about to go on a strike because I'm sure the food wasn't enough. Fu** Belgian railways man! Terrible service. And the pretzel with cheese was nice and warm, and being at the Frankfurt book fair for the first time was cool too. Cleaning for the last time the studio brought back a lot of memories and made me feel super emotional. I remembered things that can still hurt me. Man... Life and its misteryous ways. Who would have known/said. I remember opening th door lock on 31/12/2008, while 01/01/2009 was starting. Now, 5.10 years later... I remembered the days when I would only talk to myself, the sugeries, baking, brewing tea, having Mexican breakfast over the weekend. Such a bittersweet flavor. By the way, the irony is having to pay for the ride today, the day of the worst delay so far!!
