Family time
This night, sometime while sitting on the carpet in the Hindu temple and listening to the new moon prayers in my elaborate Indian outfit, I realized that there is an essential part of me missing. As much as I enjoy taking a break, as much as I don’t mind being a good girl, and as much as I am comfortable smiling politely, hugging and kissing on the cheeks inexhaustible streams of vaguely familiar aunties and grannies, I need a little insanity time. I miss misbehaving and being silly with my friends. I just need to find a balance between a monkey and a good girl in me.

I have always felt that one of the great joys of life is embracing, at once, a multitude of seemingly contradictory frames of mind. It is a complex matter -and one worthy of an e-mail to explain- but in short, I've always felt a kindred sense of duality (for lack of a better word!) in you... this desire to embrace both the incredibly sweet, charming and angelic sides of your personality and the wilder, edgier and just a tad devious side. It's one of the many things I like so much about you.
So, as a friend, my advice is to go make some insanity time as soon as possible. We can only ever strike a balance by going too far in one direction and then turning back to the other. Nobody walks a straight line between the two, my dear. ;)
Besides, if you find yourself drifting too far off to one side, that's what friends are for -- to pull you back to the middle. Have fun out there, drop a note should you need someone to listen, and rest assured I'll keep you in my thoughts! And, as always, my best wishes to you, Vishen and your family... :)

I couldn't agree with you more. Although I find it mostly hard to let go of things and people, I think that change is the essence of life. The states of mind exist so that you can take advantage and enjoy all of them, no matter how contradictory they may seem:) Enjoy your present situation, and then enjoy your next one, we all are complex people (while simple at heart). These days I really find it difficult to find my balance, and I think I have pressed the 'pause' button of my life and enjoyment but I guess I am just enjoying the I-am-bored-and-not-really-sure-about-anything part of my self:) I REALLY NEED SOME INSANITY TIME TOO! While my ancestors used to say that everything is good when you apply constraints, I would say too that equal balnce can be achieved by balancing out your extremes:) Well done Kris!
Kisses to u and vishen as always, see u next month!
Wow guys, thanks for the comments, they are really appreciated. I feel much better knowing that somebody actually cares!
Brian, I still think you are too kind to me. I don't think there's anything similar to angelic in me :) But your email is more than welcome... and get yourself Skype!
Marios, I miss you guys very much, and I'm so glad we'll meet soon again. Looking forward to the graduation..
You? Misbehave? NO way!
hehehe Kristina, your postings always manage to amuse me :. My take, instead of trying find a part monkey part good girl, how about doing lots of wicked monkey business when its required and being a good girl when required? hmm...
Devrim, Pilli - how can I let you down? Of course, I'm always ready for that wicked monkey business!
