This weirdly will take a lot of adapting to!
The mind says “hey this is nice truly it is” common sense says “its good and also healthy”. You know this new way of life is good for you mentally and physically.
For years your pushed into a box, a system of perpetual drudgery and conditioned this way. You may totally hate and despise this but its what you have grown used to this sad situation, therefore, the new surroundings and situation is almost alien-like at present and definitely will take a period of adjustment.
Years of people busily running around stressed in their daily lives.
Packed roads, traffic jams, people hooting and waving fists at you, when you don’t pull out of the junction quick enough for their liking. As you don’t wish to kill yourself and your son in the process, but hey their life and hurry are worth more than yours to them.
When you’re faced with parking issues on your street.
where neighbours park over your driveway. when only their situation matters to them.
when you walk to your parked car and receive ongoing dirty aggressive looks. Never a good morning or hellos in its rightful place.
Where your own soul’s energy is a sensitive sponge and is at breaking point. As it picks up the energy and vibration of other desperate, depressed and aggressive souls.
We close our door but still, we ourselves are affected and the impact of seeing this in others daily is too much and the spiral seems to be going downwards fast.
A country fully packed to the limit with 65 million with a large population overworked struggling and living for the next pay cheque, hand to mouth and if they miss just one pay cheque the reality today is homelessness.
It makes for a country and generation of aggressive individuals.
So an island with just 665 people, no streets, no neighbours, no traffic, no noise, and no aggressive looks and only polite hellos with the few people we do see will take the mind some time to adapt to!.
It’s good and hard at the same time.
Sometimes I feel like pinching myself to see if it is really me? Yes me who is walking down a long quiet road looking at the ever-changing weather misty rain, fog coming in over the hills or the ever-changing light changing the colours of the scenes before my eyes. As I walk to the house with the wind in my back blowing my hair to soon step into my houses to light an interesting turf fire to add some glow to the end of my day.
