new year... new start

"Have you ever had that feeling? That you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?"
-  Haruki Murakami, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle



The moment I saw the photo above it hit me... "this is how an office should look like, this is how I should work" ...and I don't even have an office kind of job, I sew in my atelier, I teach fashion in a classroom, I do my television fashion spots transmitting from a tv set, I write my articles where ever I wish to lay my laptop on... but just the idea behind that photo, of a girl waking up with that view, of a girl working from there... such calmness, such peacefulness... that's what I've been looking for.

En el momento en que vi la foto de arriba me di cuenta de que ... "así es como una oficina debería ser, esta es la forma en que yo debería trabajar" ... y yo ni siquiera tengo un empleo de oficina; coso en mi taller, doy clases en un salón de clases, salgo en televisión transmitiendo desde un set, y escribo mis artículos de donde sea que quiera poner mi laptop ... pero tan sólo la idea detrás de esa foto, de una niña despertándose con esa vista, de una chica que trabaja así ... con tal calma, tal tranquilidad... eso es lo que he estado buscando.


 I'm moving... 
Right now, I'm probably on my way to the airport... I decided to dramatically change my life.. why? because I needed to... I've been unhappy for years here, I've been lost, I feel I don't fit in this society, I can't find what I'm looking for, I don't know which path to choose, what to do, where to begin... and I've been doing the same thing for so long without seeing any change... it's like Einstein said "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results"... well insane I became.
I had to leave and start a new life, be born again... 

I'll will still blog obviously... just give me a couple of weeks to settle down.. I need to look for a job, apartment and all that..but once it's all taken care of I'll be back to tell you all about it... oh.. and if you're wondering where I'm going... it's Playa del Carmen.



Me voy a mudar ...
En este momento, probablemente estoy en mi camino al aeropuerto ... Decidí cambiar drásticamente mi vida .. ¿Por qué? porque lo necesitaba ... He sido infeliz durante años aquí, he estado perdida, siento que no encajo en esta sociedad, no puedo encontrar lo que estoy buscando, no sé qué camino elegir, qué hacer, por dónde empezar ... y he estado haciendo lo mismo durante tanto tiempo sin ver ningún cambio ... es como Einstein dijo "locura es hacer la misma cosa una y otra vez esperando obtener resultados distintos" ... bien pues loca me volví.
Tuve que salir y empezar una nueva vida, nacer de nuevo ...

Todavía voy a bloggear obviamente ... sólo dénme un par de semanas para establecerme .. Tengo que buscar un trabajo, un apartamento y todo eso .. pero una vez que esté todo arreglado volveré para contarles todo sobre esto ... oh .. y si se preguntan a dónde voy ... es a Playa del Carmen.
