CANUSAMEX

No more job, no more excuses, just a partially planned trip and a bit of money saved.
How does she do that?, people are asking. Here's my ABC of leaving.

A) write packing and to-do lists, it helps keeping sane!
B) don't forget your passport!
C) say your goodbyes and leave!

Never before I felt like I really needed to leave a place so urgently, Dresden and esp. my appartment, I'm so done with you!
Also never before I felt I'm leaving so many great friends behind, just bringing their faces to my mind brings tears back to my eyes. I must be the luckiest person alive! It means so much and I'm not taking it for granted to have people in my life who care about me.
When I thought about writing a letter to my former flatmate and telling him what a dick he has been treating us disrespectfully, I realized I don't need that anger anymore. Somehow all these beautiful moments with friends, cooking dinner, going climbing, drinking coffee and going for walks (read: slacking off), it all paid for the worse parts of my days!

Here we go then, same old new me, who will:
Complain less, eat better and worry no more!
Just kidding, how could I not eat sweets?!

So my joyful, sad and excited self will fly to Montreal, CA, on Sunday and see the city for 3 days. Then I'll take the bus to Essex, VT (USA), and see Bhava for a week, which will be simply awesome! After that short detour, I'll continue to my actual destination: Mexico!
Arriba! :)

So goodbye Dresden, my heart is heavy leaving all my dear friends and not seeing Maik for a month! I'll think of you often and remember the stupid things we said!
No I gotta go, my bullshit-barometer has reached it's sentimental high, besides I object crying in trains.
Sniff.

Love,
Lia
