Ups and Downs

OK so since my last post I had a meltdown when faced with the prospect of changing places to live into a YHA. I had heard all horror stories about YHA's and I just wasn't into getting out of my comfort zone again. Two things I have realised since - you have to get your head into the right here and now when you get homesick. I think the sadness you feel when you are homesick is a result of not being really present to your immediate surroundings. So when I shifted my focus into where I was and what I have around me, that had those feelings shift as well.
And the second thing, when you travel and you haven't seen or done much before, best that you don't listen too much to what others say. It can taint your own experiences or have you almost afraid of ghosts - things that just don't exist. Just because it is true for someone else doesn't mean that it will be true for you.
And just when I felt really down on Mon/Tues, now I am back up again. That is nice!
