My first two months back in CA was just a total wash. I was living with friends and an adopted family trying to find a place. I was working hard to save money and I was in major major reverse culture shock. Had the hardest time adjusting back. I remember going with friends to a restaurant and soooo annoyed that the server kept coming by to see if we needed anything. Don’t they respect our privacy? They even dropped the check off without us asking – I felt they were rushing us. I did not tip them. Somehow I had become European… I understand why they are so frustrated when they come over here, as majority of Americans rush everything.
A couple of months into it I had found a place to live, picked up a lot of work to support my massive monthly apartment fee, and broken up with the guy that I have moved back early from Europe for. I thought we would be living in a fun flat together and starting a new season of my life with him, but that is not what fate had in store. Oh how I often dream of going back to Europe. Yet, running from life when it gets tough is not what works. So, I am here – 6 months later. Teaching yoga, trying to find my zen, and trusting that what is meant to happen will happen. I am not to question life – just peacefully accept what I've been handed and try to give as much love and light as I can along the way.
