Life in London is going well. I am settling into a flat well and starting to personalise my room. I'm still enjoying my job and have had a permanent contract approved, just waiting for the contract to arrive through the post. So no more worrying if I am going to earn enough money to pay the rent, YAY! I'm relatively happy.
I am filling my spare time with sight seeing and making new friends. But why then do I feel like I have hit a bit of a brick wall?
I am feeling incredibly home sick, but it feels like more than just home sickness. I know I should just be getting on with things, trying new things and meeting new people, which I am actually doing. Tonight I'm off to watch some carols and drink mulled wine with a few people and tomorrow I'm going to try rock climbing. But for some reason, this just isn't helping me shift this "brick wall" feeling.
I have only been here 6 weeks(ish) and it does take time to really settle down. Perhaps I haven't given myself enough time yet. A few have said I'm putting too much pressure and expectations onto myself.
What ever it is, I'm sure it will pass. I'm going to keep myself busy and remember that I'm going home in 22 days :)
Do you realise the second picture has a door in it with a keyhole? Just imagine that while you are going through your day, meeting new people & getting to know your surroundings, you are more likely to find the key to open that door. It will let you through to the next stage of your wonderful life
