THIS

It is strange how day by day nothing seems to change, but at the end everything is different already - the well known quote by an unknown author perfectly describes the reality I live in now. Only as little as a month ago I was laying my pale body on Barcelona`s beaches, getting Milky Way high and dancing until the Spanish sunrise gave me a reality check and reminded me to go home. 
It took ages to get ready mentally and make a step away from the only place I have called mine in many years, but here I am - alienated in Copenhagen. Palm trees has turned into bicycles, rooftop terraces into local pubs filled with smoke and partying until the morning into snuggling up right before midnight.
If anyone asked me, what stepping out of a comfort zone is, my answer would be - THIS. I`m studying, for God`s sake. Waking up at 6am to be at school at 8am to finish it at 3pm and start work at 16:30 and arriving home around midnight to sleep around 5 hours and go back to the circle of madness and no me-time at all. Everybody keeps telling me that it is only the beginning, that`s hard, I do agree with that, but so far Copenhagen does not make me feel at home. By feeling at home I mean being MYSELF. 
Distress and discomfort are definitely the most powerful indicators of growth, but hell, they can squeeze the life out of me. I have lost the count of in how many perspectives live has showed me myself and now I must face another new one. 
A deep breath and chill, sun is shining and hey, it`s actually not that bad - I am making a step towards something bigger while being surrounded  by friends I had missed a lot. Patience is the key word. And I`ll need tonnes of it. 
Funny, how much of a culture shock I can receive in a place that is actually so close and similar to the place I originally come from. I had already forgotten that the coldness of North is not matching with my Mediterranean blood type. I`ll just keep repeating the mantra of a "higher purpose" until I reach that point of uniting my head, body and heart in this place at this time. Challenge accepted? It is indeed.
