I spent some time tidying up the documents on my laptop and found a folder with some letters in it that I wrote to my mom, while I was living in London. It was so interesting reading them as so many of those little details are already forgotten. I must say that it felt strange though, looking at my life like that – at how it was and how I was. I didn’t even recognise myself in those letters. Admittedly I was 21 at the time, so that is a long time ago, but still it felt really strange. It feels like it was all a different surreal world and it made me feel so old and as if so much of my life is already over! I wish I could start from 21 again – not to do things differently, but just to re-experience some of it. The other weird thing is that I seemed to have my life so well organized and all my ducks in a row. I seemed to really know what I was doing and was more independent than I currently feel as well as more financially secure. Strange. Could I have gone backwards? Or am I just in a different phase now that makes it seem that way? Anyway, something to ponder in those early hours while feeding.

Yay! I finally have the new one on my list – these things take me a while. Strangely enough, last week I was reading one of my old diaries and was also amazed at how things have changed! Yet, somehow as much as things change many still remain the same. You are still that young, organised, independen person.. it’s just the details in your life that have changed! (Or so I like to keep telling myself)!
