First weekend working at the bar fully. I am proudly announcing that I have made more in tips then ever before. This could be good, you know. I am having to pay out a few things but considering I have not had much money to spend, I am now a rich woman.
Not really.
Friday had a little surprise in store for me. I got home at 5PM. Really late, considering it was a Friday. My mother had sent me a message, saying “I miss you.” No appologies, nothing. How does she expect me to forget everything she said. I did not reply. Call me a horrible person, I dont care. You dont know the names she called me.
Anyway. Spent yesterday afternoon watching Rise of the Lycans, Spanglish and Vicky, Christina, Barcelona (In English this time!) with the Engländer. Lovely.
I have had a lot of time to rant and to think about things going on in my life. Not that I have come any closer to a solution, but I have finally found a way that could possibly do.
I am reading this book at the moment “The Five Secrets You Must Discover Before You Die”, Dr. John Izzo. I havent gotten that far, but in the first few pages, it tells you about an elderly lady that used to make decision on the basis of what her older self, looking back on her life would say. Fantastic way to get big decisions out the way! I had a think about this in bed last night and thought of the following.
If I am this 80 year old lady, how would I like to look back on my life, how do I see myself as a person and will I have respect of the person I am with 27. I mean its one thing to laugh about that 27 year old countrygirl, but I would hate to plainly not respect the person I was then.
First, how do I see myself:
I see myself as a little bit weak. I never make decisions on my own, so supconciously I can then, if it does not work out, blame it on other people. (See move to Hintertupfing!
) The Engländer is usually that person, I am so very sorry for that!! Then, I see myself as a very drama loving person. I simply love that fact that most things in my life are not going very well. I have a reason to wallow in self pitty until the cows come home. I also see myself as a decent human being though. I love my neighbor (well, maybe not literally.) I respect my elders (most of them – age does not give you superiority on anything sometimes!) and I am always working for my money. I fall out with my mother on a regular basis and I only just recently started making my own decisions again, not based on her limited opinion.
Now, how I would like to see myself:
This is not as easy. I hardly know what I want in the best of times. However, I am trying to write a few things, at least. I would like to be a person that laughs properly at least twice a week. One that you come to if you need cheering up. A person that can cook and give you that warm feeling of home in your heart, wherever you may be just then. I also want to be able to look back onto my life an be able to say that I have experienced many, many emotions. I want to look back and say to myself that it was all half as bad as I though it was at the time.
I want to be sitting on that porch somewhere warm, the Engländer next to me. I want this man on my side for all of my life. I love him so much and he makes me so happy.
Now, all I need to know if what my next move will be. I am itching again.
Oh dear! Most of you will know what that means. The Gypsy Princess, thats what they call me.
Love,
Me x
P.S.: Happy Birthday to my nan and my BFF. Love you tons.
