Parked in your car you said, 'I'm Overwhelmed'.

It was Christmas Eve and my brother got engaged. It was Christmas Eve and my brother bought a house. A house and a life and my brother was happiness. I wonder sometimes if my family know that a tea-towel, white-goods kind of girl I am not. Not a cook-a-roast-dinner-for-a-family-of-25, Freedom Furniture, pretty-matching-dinner-sets kind of person.

hmmmm if you go to Moscow can I join you? If I can afford it?
Maybe.
Maybe I will join you just before or after, so I can spend Christmas with my baby.

I am not a white goods kind of girl. I live in perpetual fear that I will spend a third or more of my life paying mortgage on a house I only half-love. And doing what in the meantime? I want to have adventures.

I would love to travel with you. I know not if I can afford it yet but at the moment I'm so fearful of not affording it that I think that I will. Fear drives me moreso than anything. Fear and naivety.
And when my family were smiling for my brother and his fiance and his fiance talked about crockery and cutlery and matching sets and Maxwell House kitchen-wear, I stared blankly down at my tea-towels and tossed the cook-book aside and swallowed hard.
I feared I would be paying off my credit card debt forever for a while there.
I want to have adventures like you and I want to have adventures with you.

Come here! It's not that far from Moscow! Or if you go to Moscow you can visit me on the way and I can follow you there!
