Busking for a ticket to Santorini

Hey All, I’m back from my two week vacation and it was in one word: amazinglyfantasticalandsuchanawesomebreakthatididn’twanttoleave. (Psht, sue me.)

I’m completely beat still, so I wrote a short entry on my dA about the holiday which doesn’t say as much as I’d like it to but I’ll copy paste it for the sake of my fingers dwindling typing-power.

Hey all,

I returned on the 14th back to Dubai from Athens.

A basic outline of what happened, so you know what I’m talking about;
We arrived in Athens on the 1st and stayed in Rafina for a day and night. The next day we took a ferry to Santorini and we stayed at Santorini for a week. Then we took a ferry to Crete, found out we rented a farm house in the isolated hillside instead of a beach house, arrived at the house stayed for a couple of hours and left. Then we stayed in Heraklion for a night, the next day we drove to Malia and found out what a rowdy place it was so we stayed for 2 nights only. The next day we flew back to Athens and stayed till the 14th.

Greece was a whirlwind crash course on how to LIVE and LOVE and ENJOY life because there’s so much more to life then just sitting at home and watching TV and eating and playing PC games and whatnot.

It was truly an experience and my tears when I had to leave (Santorini and Greece in general) were not for nothing. I want to go back and I really mean it, Europe was amazing and I miss living there so much. I just wish I had appreciated it more when I lived in Germany but back then I was only about 4.

So much happened in Greece in such a short time and I feel I really changed when I was there, I felt like a whole new person - a person that was fun and lively and had so much to live for.

Going through all of this makes me want to get away from the computer and T.V. and all that kind of shit and just get out of the house and find new places and hang out with people and have a proper social life again.

After meeting so many new people and talking to them and having a drink with them and just relaxing - it makes me feel like all this time with me laboring over websites and PC games and Tv, it’s all just so pointless and it means nothing and it’s worth nothing.

I am finally awake.

And wow, I’d just like to say that now I just appreciate myself so much more, now that I know I’m not a mole on society. I realise that people do like my company. I feel loved. I feel appreciated. I think, for the first time in my life, (while in Greece), I’ve been loved by someone else in a non-platonic way.

It felt great.

To know that men do find me attractive.
To know that people genuinely like my company.

After 8 different guys I met, I lost count.

So.

I’m heartbroken. I’ve woken up crying 2 days in a row. It’s complicated. I hope I get over it.

I’ll pot the photos from Greece on my photoblog, at a later time.
