Sigh, where to begin? I suppose I should keep this short, therefore I'll just summarize as best as possible. My work life seems to be in full swing. I really can't complain about it. Even though it's office work, I've realized that it's not very demanding of me at all and to make matters lighter, the 3 guys I work with are pretty low key. My work is basically 9-5, and on my time off I try to remain surrounded by the few good people I've met thus far. Two of them I met on my recent trip to Prague two weeks ago, but I'll get back to that a little later. All in all, I have come to the conclusion that I made the right choice for me, having moved here and all, and I have absolutely no regrets whatsoever. I LOVE MY LIFE!
This realization dawned upon me while walking through the streets of Prague. It was like a revelation, an epiphany...you name it. It was something I had not felt in a very long time, perhaps the last time I felt utterly HAPPY, and was conscious about it, like I did that weekend was during my last weeks of college in the spring of 2010. I don't know if it was the aesthetics of the city, the environment, the people, or the bohemian air, but what I do know is that I fell in love. I fell in love with the city, I fell in love with a girl (if only for a day), and most importantly I fell in love with my life.
Prague brought about so many good things. Originally I was supposed to stay nearby and visit Nürnberg, however, I was approached by some guys I work with about going to Prague instead. At that instance I remembered one of my goals I made for myself while making my way here, which was to keep an open mind. I did, and gladly accepted the offer to join them on the trip. Admittedly, I was a little skeptical about the situation the day we left since I was traveling with 3 strangers. It's hard enough sometimes getting to know people you know nothing about, but it's also even harder making plans to travel with them to a foreign country and assuring yourself that everything will work in your favor. To my surprise, it went more than fine, it was amazing.
On my second night in town, I approached a girl that somehow had an aura about her that just instantly gravitated me towards her. It was literally as if she was a HUGE fucking magnet, an absolutely gorgeous one at that, and I was just an object of her magnetism helplessly being drawn in. After attempting to communicate with her in 3 different languages, we quickly realized we didn't speak each other's tongues...she smiled and walked away. I was determined to not let this opportunity pass me by, and it didn't. After many hours of speechless communication, all the stars lined up and I suddenly found myself in the most romantic interaction that I have been in a very very VERY long time, if not ever. The crazy thing is that I will probably never hear from her again. For those of you that I keep in constant touch with, you already know the story, so I'll leave it at that. For those of you that don't.......well. :-)
I've spent the last week deliberating whether or not I would write a blog solely dedicated to my interaction of that night. However, I've come to a conclusion that perhaps this is a truly valuable story I'd rather just share with those that wish to know about it. These next few weeks should be somewhat uneventful. A good friend from college arrives in Munich tomorrow, I should be meeting up with him this coming weekend. The biggest plan I have coming up is still Barcelona. Ill gradually update and blog up to it.
I leave you all with this. After I shared my story with a very close friend of mine, she was so moved that she wrote something about my experience with the Hungarian girl in Prague...from her perspective. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did. Cheers!
Unspoken Love
They say that the eyes are the door to the souls...
One look at you and I can't keep myself from tampering your haven
A blink from you beckons me forward
A wink from you reckons my heart a goner
They say that love comes in all shapes and sizes
Does love come in the shape of almonds eyes?
My heart listens to your fluttery eyes
Souring when you beckoned me forward
Willing myself to believe in your warmth
They say love unspoken is love so true
Between you and I, no words need describe
Between you and I, only the souls intertwine
Between you and I, love is at its best
Happy to hear you are happy Jose.
