You know how sometimes we make up our minds or make decisions based on our expectations? Sometimes we're so caught up in our dreams that we make no room for reality. I, for one, have a habit of getting my mind wrapped around a dream and not carefully thinking through the what ifs.
Once upon a time, I was positive that Rome was the place for me. Well, for Niels and I. It was just a dream of mine. Then suddenly, I had big dreams for NYC. The big city! There are so many opportunities here. As the cab driver helps me unload my bags, I gaze at the large building in front of me. Haven... We meet again... I just don't know anymore. I drag all my things inside, say hi to the security, and go right to my room. Here, when I stare out the window, I can't see the stars. Though there's another beautiful view, I miss the greenery. The open skies. The fresh air. The feeling of being free. Memories of the past week tumble through my mind, and I can't help but smile. Hmm... such delicious memories. But now I have to let go of that and focus again. I love it here. I truly do. But is where I want to spend most of my time? Should I give up the opportunity I have here to embrace another opportunity I had this past week? So many decisions...
