I've been spending a lot of time lately looking through old photos and planning imaginary trips. I get in moods every once in a while where I really miss Berlin and the slightest thing can make me homesick (if that's the correct word) and close to tears (dramarama!). A while ago it was a particularly fragrant shrub that took me back immediately. Sometimes it's the smell of certain brands of cigarettes or beer.
If only I didn't have such limited vacation time. I feel like I'm not really cut out for the working world. Or maybe being an adult in general. Definitely not my strong suit.

Sorry to hear about your homesickness. Good luck with work...

Thanks. x.
ReplyDeleteSometimes it helps to have a bit of a moan. :)
Oh, I know that feeling, though luckily I am home most of the time. I wonder how I'll survive once I move abroad.
ReplyDeleteIt's sort of Proustian, what you describe. How a smell or taste can transport us to another place or time.
Can't you just move to Berlin?
It is indeed rather Proustian! (Now I'm in the mood for a Madeleine!)
ReplyDeleteI have been on the lookout for jobs so I can move back. And then I always start wavering and thinking about how I'll miss it here if/when I leave! I tend to overthink things. :)
One day you'll have to tell me your story because I'm confused.
