Coffee and Chocolate

|

Coffee and Chocolate. Two of my favourite things, two things that could really win my affection. I couldn't resist and had to redesign the theme of this blog. I am in need of these two things, I want them to surround me constantly on a daily basis, because they make me feel happier which is a good thing and most of all something I desperately need at the moment.

I'm okay but I had two really bad weeks where I couldn't get anything done because of personal reasons that I wrote about somewhere in February or March this year. It's not nice having to walk on eggshells all the time or else you're attacked for no particular reason, since anything you say or do will be a trigger. What I find hard to understand is why it's not dealt with, but instead taken out on me. Well, it's dealt with but only when I point out the type of behaviour. I reckon that's the way it is and has been for quite some time now. That's when I start to wonder what happened to me.

I trusted the other person not to crush that part of me that was longing to be loved, be vulnerable and open, isn't that a normal thing to expect from a relationship? Mistake. And I guess I didn't want to see the signs and therefore have to pay for it these days by having that part of me severely crushed from time to time... So when I have a good day I try to pick up the pieces and try to find myself, the 'me' that is known to my friends, to those around me who respect me and accept me for who I am: the vulnerable and strong person, the surviver and fighter...

But I have trouble finding her when I'm crushed again, hurt and in need of comfort and support. Comfort and support doesn't seem to be within reach ever since I moved country. So if I have a bad day I increase the Seratonin and Phenylethylamine levels by having some chocolate, just a bit, I know my limits. Well... at least when it comes to chocolate.

I wish things were normal again...

A Zestful Quest...

Expat Life: I moved from Amsterdam to London, Aug. 2006. Things didn't quite work out as planned and I found myself on my own in a foreign country.

Reflection: 2007 Has been a difficult year but I've managed to accomplish a lot more than I thought I ever could. I've set up my own business, survived a serious health issue, met some amazing people and found my future...

Personality: At times stuck in a time warp of ideas and thoughts, Mixed Blood [Eurasian seems to be the fancy word for it: Indonesian and Dutch], typical Capricornish Goat, Sensitive, Crazy about Apple Macs and anything related, Gadget Girl, Intelligent, Psychological profiling of all kind, Sucker for all sorts of stuff that makes my OS run like: Coffee and Chocolate, Deep Thinker, Perfectionist, Foolish, Silly, Stubborn [WHAT?... ME? I don't think so... tsk, pffft....]

Indulgence: English full breakfast once in a while when not counting calories, Indonesian fried rice and a Sateh [Nasi Goreng] like my great grandma used to make, Thai Tom Ka Kai or Thai Green Curry Noodle soup original traditional recipes, definitely a peaty Islay Scotch preferably shared with my best friends in Scotland [Inge and Frank] and a Dutch coffee when I'm in Amsterdam with a piece of Dark Chocolate!
