“I do not seek. I find.”
Finding myself, so to speak. I have been trying to figure out where to go to vacation this year, I still have all my vacation time. So, I think I may head to Dominica (OMG haven’t been there since I was 11). Also, with peace of mind being able to focus on my work and life has been amazing. I’m learning French thoroughly, I finally found a French tutor and French friends. I was indecisive when it came to learning either French or Spanish. Certainly Spanish may be more logical (logique) and valuable (valable) to learn at the moment and in this country but I wanted to try this language because of it’s roots. You see, the island that I grew up in drew it’s culture from African, English and French history – the natives speak Patois which is a mixture of French and English words. I wanted to learn French because it always sounded pleasant to me. So, essentially, I have been studying on the train and on my breaks.
As for my personal life, I couldn’t be better. I’m so amazed about all the compliments from my peers. They love our place and they think I am glowing. I am so happy lately. Somehow I felt like the last two years had been a blur. Like I am reborn into this new lady. I am emitting positivity because I realized that despite set backs this year, I am so blessed to be the person that I am.
My 1/2 sister (sister by father), Cindy, and I met yesterday after over a decade of seeing each other in person. We called our dad and spoke to him for awhile. I gave him the gist of how my move went he seemed surprised by what transpired before. He was happy that I am doing well however. I am quite content that my father seems to be accepting my rebellious nature (with comment). I’ve always been unlike any of my siblings and although each of us are apparently different, I do accept now he has his own way of displaying affection for each of us. 
This weekend I’m going to hang out with my sister since she extended her trip. I thought she was only going to be here until Thursday but since she has 2 more weeks, I can get some work done and we can hang out.
And of course some time in between there, I do not seek, I will find (Je ne cherche pas. Je trouve.) someone who fits my lifestyle and I am not in a rush 🙂 I have a little over 10 years to do so. I am still surprised that I am not even concerned about not having someone in my life 😀 I can get used to this worry free lifestyle.
Anyways, back to work.
