I'm still not sure all the dust has settled and I know for sure my emotions haven't. My wise friends tell me it takes at least half the time that you were away travelling to readjust once home. I need to remember this more often.
At first I felt like I was on a rollercoaster - England, family, friends, cold, Christmas, being single - all merging with the sights, experiences, feelings and lessons that I have learnt while away and which I'm still learning from.
I'm now experiencing a yo-yo effect of trying to balance being back and wanting to go back, my life here and all the amazing people and places I met while away.
It's all too easy to be swept back up in the western rush of life, pressures to defines oneself by our careers and preconceived notions of self.
I do keep hitting on a recurrent theme in my musings and that is; time.
Time to process, time to think, time to absorb and time to be just me.
It's tricky... but hopefully it will get easier and I will find that balance and possibly even a plane ticket....
