I'm in Portland now. I miss Germany as much as ever but being in a city is a huge improvement! I also work at Lush full time now which is quite an adventure.
Hoping to find a place to live as I've been couch surfing for the last month.
More to come later! |

So this is my first entry to a journal that I created a very long time ago and am finally getting around to using. Maybe.
The last few months have been trying, to say the least. How could something that seemed like such a good idea at the time end up being so extremely difficult? Namely, moving to Moscow from Munich.
Maybe it would've been better if I'd just worked a while longer and gotten adjusted to America again. Or if I moved back into a city instead of a rural setting. The transition from Munich to Moscow was huge and take this to heart, people: reverse culture shock is a bitch.
As I sit here typing merrily away in my nice apartment in one of the most beautiful regions in the world in a town that has essentially everything a person needs to live not only sustainably but lavishly, I wonder at why I am so discontent.
There are so many things about Munich that are irreplaceable. From little things such as rittersport, Mueller, brez'n, and eis to big things like the Pinakotheken, public transport, Schwabing, and PennyMarkt to the important things like friends, my job, and a steady relationship, Munich had so much to offer.
I guess when stripped of all the niceties of Munich I'm left with myself and the decisions I made and am still trying to make. And that's definitely not as easy to manage as me, the babies and conversation with great people over coffee.
Munich was a welcome aberration and now I'll just continue adjusting to life back in 'da-ho and try not to explode or fall apart. (Like my car is threatening to do.) |
