Expect nothing, live frugally on surprise.

The past few months have been the most exciting, well, zealous would the right word. There were few lessons learned. Expectations narrowed and horizons limited.

Let go of all the hopes that I have had so far. I realized that maybe I am just holding on to that chunk of sand and the tighter I hold onto it, the more faster it slips away. As much as I am reluctant, I would rather let go of the chase.

Life on the professional front has always been appealing for me. I still maintain that I am lucky enough to have a job for which I could have given an arm and a leg. Not exactly my dream job (a sports journalist) but I can for sure say that this job is close.
Ever since it was announced by our CEO that the company is on sale, we were no longer en masse. Feeling of loss of security crept in on many, including myself.
Now that we are no longer on sale, decided to remain independent all we can do is look back and laugh at ourself seeing how miserable we were during those times. Drinks and dinners are more fun.
I realized never to delve deep into the intricacies of the future.

I will be going home after 18 months. A part of me is glad at the idea of a much needed vacation. A part of me is anxious about the trip. Will this be one of those jaunts, at the end of which you wished you never should have started?
