Your Mileage May Vary
First Day Back.
I have to say, that when your expectations are realistic, you enjoy life so much more. Last year, I expected my return trip home to be the magical pill that would solve all my problems; my homesickness, my unhappiness, my loneliness, etc.
Fact is, change can only come from within. What was that famous Gandhi saying? Something like, "You must be the change you want to see in this world."
(OK, I know the context is different, but the intention is the same. Whatever change you hope to see must be accompanied by some degree of initiative and self-motivation.)
I went winter clothes shopping with Matilda today (HELLO YOU! was nice catching up :D
