So I’m in limbo again, a week to go before I head back to Colombo. On one hand I have an urge to get back, get a meaningful job and start getting a paycheck again, there’s only so much time you can live off your credit card doing pretty much nothing before you go a bit stir crazy. The down side to that is that I have to leave home, family, some of my best friends as well as the laid back atmosphere that comes from living ur life within 5 square kilometers. My only regret about this holiday was that I didn’t go out of Colombo, would have loved to backpack, but the allure of actually having a proper social life after so long was too much.
This is the third time I’ve been in limbo for the last three years, the first two times were when I’d spent too much time at a pointless job. The first was only a few months and then went onto grad school, which was more than worth the wait. The second time was just before I came to SL, and I guess the December season made up for it, and now in the space of 6 months I’m in bloody limbo again! Hopefully this will be last time I will be this purposeless, well at least until I retire at 35. I guess I’m lucky, I look around and see some people who’ve been purposeless for years and don’t look like they will ever find a purpose to do anything except breathe.
