Limbo Land

Time seems to be passing by quite quickly these days. Probably just as well, as I'm finding myself in the exact same awful frame of mind as before I departed for Chicago three years ago. A very unsettled feeling that can only be attributed to the fact that I'm simply in limbo right now, itching to leave. Partly because I'm looking forward to my travels, but more because Newcastle has absolutely nothing to offer me any more. As a result, I do feel like a lost soul right now. I'm not complaining because obviously I'm making all the choices here - it's simply just an observation. It's just that everyone around me is very settled (or at least settled in the sense that they have a full-time job, house/apartment that they own or rent, steady disposable income to spend at their will etc. etc.) and I, in comparison, couldn't be any more unsettled. I'm looking forward to that comfortable stage in my life very much and hope that after this trip I will be a lot closer and in a much better position to achieve it.
