straightjacket and stardust

Monday, June 14, 2010

i think that sometimes, even when things are all a-jumble and you just really feel like going home, the littlest things will surprise you.

even when sometimes you think you've had a lot of the people around you (yourself included) all displaying their strong personalities, the very reason being the shared dna that you all have, and you think you've nearly had enough and want to just skipper away and be alone with your laptop and boyfriend, you find yourself totally wanting to sit down and have a wonderful conversation and share great taste for things you like and distaste for things you don't.

that's the funny thing about family. the similarities you have drive you nuts but the things you share drive you closer together.

i was happy to have had such a peachy day with mak, ayah and amir. the day went off to a rocky start with me nearly losing it over unsettling things like banks and cable tv disconnection. then it was a lovely outing to tok zu's in neasden where there was a nice, albeit brief, session for catching up. and then a lovely dinner with the elliotts, which somehow made my day.

somehow when you're 14 days into travelling around europe with your family, a nice, quiet dinner with some lovely people in a gorgeous restaurant is exactly what you need to feel normal again. and to prepare yourself for the week-long journey that's left :)

its so easy to lose touch with reality. and with so many things going on its impossible not to lose it a little bit. im still very glad that the family's still happy, i escaped mostly unscathed, and the boyfriend is mostly within reach every day in this trip so far.

here's hoping the final third of this trip would not be terribly difficult, and that we'd be able to meet many interesting people along the way xx
