Decisions –
especially life changing decisions never seem to turn out as planned.
Maybe
that’s the beauty of it – if you are prepared for the challenge!
Marriage,
changing country are just a couple of ‘life changers’ that support the above observation. Relationships for example –
with your family, life partner or friends are not as they are shown in movies J. They are like a heart beat – ups and
downs but never a flatline. So these ups and downs makes you feel alive. If you live with a pattern of a flatline = you have no colour in your life...
My first months
here were more of a down – not in a disaster way but can be described more as
an unlucky experience. I had to live in a hotel room with 5 days in Tbilisi and
2 days back in Ankara for about 3 months. I didn’t know those were my good days
back then... Finding a house in Tbilisi was more challenging than I expected.
For those who are planning to move to Georgia – I will post a topic on my
experience later – I moved twice in 6 months so I do feel I have a word or two
on this...
With having such
a hectic travel schedule in the beginning I still feel I couldn’t say a proper
good-bye to my family and friends. I guess this is one part that didn’t go as
planned – I was hoping to have more time to say good-bye to my loved one’s. I
did promise that I would travel quite a lot – at least do a weekend in Ankara
each month considering we are neighbour Countries and flight’s are easy to
catch. However this didn’t turn out as planned as well... I could not travel
back to my hometown for the last 3 months. So lesson one – do not promise
unless you are sure you can keep them...
While writing
this – I stopped a moment to think if there are any regrets on my decision to
move to Tbilisi. I have a feeling there are some – cannot really describe exactly
what they are but I have some that I hope I will discover through this blog as well... However there are so many other things this
city have offered me that covers these regrets and turn them into the salt and
pepper of this experience.
I know I will
never say ‘I wish I had moved’ – ‘I wish
I had tried’ instead I agree to the lyrics of ‘no regrets’
No regrets they
don’t work...
