I was thinking about something recently. Moving here has been such a shock and totally overwhelming. I felt really guilty about not diving into German and what not when I got here. I’ve felt really defensive about not starting yet.
I’ve been waiting until it felt right, till I got a rhythm, some sense of peace and normalcy. And that is it.
I didn’t dive into German, because I dived headfirst into Germany. It was a crazy process and it has taken me a lot of time to try to adapt. I’m not fully there, maybe I won’t ever be, but it’s given me a sense of alrightness. There’s only so much one can do. I try to focus on the future and more forward. But there’s only so much to adapt to at once. And it’s a process that you can’t really rush.
