After a long and hot (summer) break Passionsistas is back!!! Yayyy!!
As some of you already know, Summer 2015 was a very busy and exciting time of my life so far.
My moving to the USA from Germany was due and as you can imagine didn`t go without shedding some tears over here and over there. Saying goodbye to everyone in the family and your friends was tough and I would definitely not wish that anyone to do BUT sometimes there are bigger things ahead of you than those that you are already experiencing and so you have to take that step and break out of your comfort zone. Whether it's because you have found a new job, a new house, a new lifestyle that you want to embrace or... and that`s what caused me to make this gigantic( and yeah still kind of scary if you think about it) move...LOVE.. well .. what else huh?
Living in the USA and particularly Denver, the Mile High City, which btw. is famous for its liberal attitude, will definitely make a huge change in my life, that I already know. In fact I can already notice these changes, like the fact that I get legit six (plastic) bags for my groceries when back in Germany I was able to put all of my stuff in just one bag, considering it was`t really much what I bought. Well I guess that`s also part of the American Life..people here don`t usually think about that twice and why would they right? They all have a car, load their 600 bags up and drive home, or to the next Taco Bell chain to get their dinner. OK, that was maybe a little bit sarcastic. You see, me as German, who was raised to walk everywhere I needed to go and carry a linen bag ( good old German "Jutebeutel"as we call them) when my mother would send me out to get some chicken for her homemade chicken soup, well that`s the life I knew so far. But without changes no progress will happen , and a standstill is the end to our life, whether in Germany or in America right?!
What I will do? I will embrace all of the new customs and traditions here as well as I can, try to adapt as much as I can , improve my English as fast as I can, but I tell you what..I will not leave my good old "Jutebeutel" at home when going to the next grocery store! The most important thing I will continue here is to be ME..consciously aware of all the things that we can improve in our everyday life, trying to reduce my ecological footprint and making the world a little bit better. Call me a hopeless romantic, but that`s what I need to feel home away from home.
What about you guys? Do you feel the same? I would love to read your comments on it!
