I did this, too. I went across the ocean. Now I'm in Europe wishing I could be back home. I'm getting stuff done... a lot of stuff, actually.

I am one of those people who wishes and dreams and makes endless excuses. Sometimes I pretend/believe that I am one of those lucky people, and that my time just has not come yet, but I will get mine. Though the older I get, the more faith I am losing in that little delusion.

For a while, I believed that I was blessed and protected and I was the kind of person incredibly lucky things happened to.

For a while I believed I was a victim, that everything bad happened to.
