I live in The Hague, which is great since it's the legal capital of the world. The small buildings and cute streets make it a very quaint and comfortable place to live. I just haven't found myself yet, or rather, found my comfort zone.
I know who I am, I discovered myself last year, however this knowledge about yourself can limit the amount of friends you make afterwards. Therefore I scrutinize every single person I meet in the hopes of finding someone who is similar to me. I haven't found anyone yet.
I've always been very independent and sometimes I do enjoy solitude, nevertheless it has been two months and I hate to admit that i just feel completely alone.
It isn't because i'm marginalized by others, or that i know absolutely no-one, or that i'm never invited anywhere, because I am and I do know people, and oddly those people consider me a really good friend of theirs. But I just don't feel comfortable or completely myself with them, and in the end I feel lonely because I have no-one with whom to share my love for the blues, or my midnight deep conversations.
I keep comparing what my life would have been like if I had actually left to the states, but I think all in all i just have to give it a try and think positively. A transaction like the one I made, of moving to another country, with a different language and mentality is never easy, and I had such high expectations it's almost obvious that I was going to be disappointed about one thing or the other.
Luckily I know that in the long run I will find my way, and for now i'm just going to do my thing, not settle for anything or anyone, and live my life as happily as I can.
