being Edinburgh...




how do you make big decisions in your life? Decisions that will influence the next couple of years... staying or leaving a town, going back to your roots, job security or none, leaving new friends behind or building new relationships abroad...

It turns out that almost all the people i have met here in Edinburgh are in the same situation... not really knowing what to do with your life... everybody is on the verge of a big change in their lives... but nobody is really undertaking action... Some will go to live on the carribean, others want to go on ski-season, others want to go and live and work in Germany, others starting up a company in Italy...

we jokingly named this feeling "being Edinburgh" - being in Edinburgh and loving it but planning to leave but not knowing when, where to and how... and most of the conversations end in "aah well, we'll see..."

'should I stay or should I go?'

Hmmm, looks like the final decision has yet to be taken! Just remember we keep on loving you, whether you sit right next to us or on the other side of the world...

note: maybe you should change the clock on your blog somehow? it says I posted my previous message at 6:21 AM - however it is 3:23 PM over here (2:23 PM at your end)...

Well, I can certainly relate to this one! however, for me, staying is not an option, although I keep postponing my return to Holland for no apparent reason. Indecisive is a great way to be, it leaves all the options open. Hope you are well, and proud of me that I finally worked out how my phone works so I could find your address!
