Drops of nothing by GingerZ

When I left home ... it wasn't to another country but to another city within my country I called home ... I flew back almost every month and I truly missed home ..I acclimatized.... so when I got the position to teach in Brunei .. I did not google I did not research ... all I knew that I had F and M here and that everything would be OK...  nothing prepared me.

It was in this nothingness I made a home I put down my roots ... I found me

Being an expat in all honesty is hard work...you are surrounded by a melting pot of different ppl cultures race ppl who look like you but have a different outlook on life or same same but different.... it broadens ur mind ... it opens your eyes to a whole new world u did not know existed...  ppl come and leave ..that's the hardest for me ..forging bonds and saying goodbyes ... I am not good at farewells... but in all fairness it makes you realize that nothing stays constant .... things change...ppl move on...and u deal full stop comma comma dish dish ....

Brunei is a beautiful country...the heat is what I enjoy the most ... but it takes getting used to... there are days I feel I'm gonna melt into the ground and no amount of h20 will hydrate me and then there are days like today ...the overnight rain cools everything down ... which doesn't last too long but small mercies 

Endurance ... is a skill and once u master it ... it becomes part and parcel of ur being.  I have learnt so much yet know so little ...

In this journey of self sacrifice I have become whole and for now I bask in its glory...Brunei...
