July was a LOT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mainly lots of gratitude and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gratitude for this beautiful city I call my hometown. Gratitude for my amazing friends and supporting family. Gratitude for open hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt my roots strengthening, even though I got emotional with all these goodbyes. I felt reassured that these roots will keep me grounded, wherever I go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to Covid, my flight got postponed and I had the honor to attend my friend\u2019s wedding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A magical celebration of love, life, friendship and joy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of having a farewell party, I connected with my friends individually. And it felt amazing to really take the time and talk – in person, with eye contact (I meeeeeean!). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We shared hopes, fears, tears and laughter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My eyes were still watery when I walked through the security check at Hamburg Airport – but it still felt so right and I felt the support of my loved ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, after postponing and planning I got to take the next step. I even felt gratitude on the plane, while journaling and despite the knowledge that my arrival will look different. I won\u2019t get to experience the city I chose for now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I won\u2019t get to walk around and explore – yet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2020 showed us, that our collective can change from one second to the other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I felt it when I arrived at beautiful Changi Airport. When I walked down the aisle to my gate, I saw about 8 people waiting there. Despite the sounds of my carry on suitcase, there was nothing. Silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the people smiled under their masks. I couldn\u2019t tell. They were wearing full body plastic overalls and it felt like  I\u2019m (as Sting would say) \u201a a legal Alien\u2018.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got 2 Minutes of \u201afresh\u2018 air on my way to the bus that escorted me to my quarantine hotel and my new home for the next 14 1\/2 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m currently still sitting here in solitude. I got lucky with a bright, sunny room and a huge comfortable bed. Being actually able to see and feel the bright side of this shows me how far I\u2019ve come. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Knowing, that I have the tools to use this time, and discover and appreciate the treasures within. There are obviously times when I feel stuck (cause I am), but I know it\u2019s ok to feel what I\u2019m feeling and that I\u2019m ok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I said, July was a lot. And so am I<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
