As you may know, I left the main city, finding it too dense for my taste. Now I live somewhere more in the countryside. My biggest issues living on this island had been: The heat, the crowds, the noise, and being continually asked to look more cheerful and less scary. But it turns out that all of those can be fixed by where exactly I choose to be, around whom, and what my lifestyle is like. (Also, thank GOODNESS for Air Conditioning.)
I might always miss ice skating, though - a profound yearning I always had for some reason. An art I remain, to this day, in awe of. But maybe in another life. In this one, I get to enjoy lushness and rain instead. (Still the most ‘Me’ picture of me in existence, though.)
