Something inside me guided me to move here. It was a voice telling me where to go, and for the first time in my life, I listened. I put aside plans and what-ifs and left. It’s the closest thing to throwing a dart at a map, something I’ve always wanted to do. And I did it with courage instead of fear, when fear so often has ruled my heart.
I inhale the cool morning air and lean on the railing. I look down from my small balcony at the quiet morning in this town. Chirping sounds from a nearby tree in the garden housing my apartment building. Staring at the shapes the clouds make, my mind wanders to Matthias.
What if he was just flirting for the fun of it? Or untrustworthy?
I don’t know many people here and with my excitement of meeting him, it’s easy to mix up true feelings with illusion.
