Damn, time flies so fast !!!
-----------------------------------------------------------
Yesterday while I was sitting on the train to work, there were so many things overwhelming in my head. I just dont know if the next destination of my life is right for me yet. I am too excited, and kindof sad at the same time.
Leaving what I have and where I live is not new for me. Coz I have done that several times in the past less than ten years. From East Coast to West Coast or South East to Mid West. I've done it all. But I dont know why this time, I have to admit it's such a hard time for me
-----------------------------------------------------------
In New York, my daily routine is so settled and simple. Wake up at 10.30, I turn on the TV to see what is going on with Ellen on channel 4, while trying to stop the clock by running into a quick shower. Grab a cup of regular coffee and New York Post at the daily around the corner, then hop into the subway by half an hour before my work starting at 11.30am. I'm sure that you all know that I barely make it on time.
And voila, me at work until 8.30pm.
Me and Sandwich Planet, or Sandwich Planet et moi, we are the same person. Worked here for 2 years and a half, customers know me, and I know most of them. I know what they like or what they dont like, or even how their family are.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Then things are overwhelming in my head again.
"How could I leave the city??"
Everything is so convenient here, food, places, people, transportation.
And New York is the place of everything because everything is in New York.
So I told one of my freinds that maybe I am getting sick of the city. And she said "When you are getting sick, you are going to hospital. Not California."
I laughed.
And said, "Honey, I am not sick, sick. Not like that kindof sick."
Added I, "I need a life. I need fresh air. I need space in my apartment, not a thin paper wall that you could hear the whole conversation of your roomate over his cellphone. I have to move. I need a life."
She argued, "No fucking way. Life is here. All the fun things is here. You will go and die of the loneliness in the California vineyard. And people are so slow there. They dont live in reality like us here. There is NO crazy people, NO fun people. Nothing like us here. They re all boring."
TRUE, SO TRUE
Then I have a second thought to stay input. To stay where I love, and where I belong to.
Someone said New York is a big melting pot, almost ten millions people living in this mixed cultured city. Once you moved in, you have to melt into it. Until you turned into one of them, you will survive like one of them. So it's hard to pull yourself out of it coz you re stuck into it.
BUT my final thought; I will go on my way, California.
I already bought ticket to Seattle for a week, where Daniel and I will spend a ski trip together before heading out seperating. Then will fly to Oackland, CA and start new life in Petaluma, CA.
Is there anything left behind??
Nothing. But a great memory of myself and the city.
