"Wake me up when the Bluebells are ringing&qu

Tue Sep 1, 2009, 10:16 AM

Mood: Miserable
Listening to: Patrick Wolf
Reading: Interview with the Vampire - A. Rice

Every summer when it comes to an end, a little personal tragedy of mine repeats itself over again. When I was five, we had to move from Bulgaria. I left more than three quarters of my family back there, and I left my home there. We come back every summer for two months, which is beautiful, utterly amazing, and something I'm very grateful for, because I know a lot of people who have lost their home that way don't have this opportunity. However every time I have to leave for the Czech republic, I feel like I'm being torn out of my home and from my loved ones all over again, because I have no choice in this, I have to come back. At this moment, I wish I could use Patrick Wolf's line and go to sleep, until it was time to go to Bulgaria again. I know the country's one of Europe's most rotten countries, but it's my home, and it's where most of the people I love are. I apologize for this incredible whine.

My father used to say when I was little: "Wake me up at Easter."
I guess it's something similar. Though it hardly can have anything to do with leaving your home.

Oh Niph

I don't know what to say, I'm always dreaming of going/living abroad. I guess I'm like frodo: always pretending to be off somewhere else, untill you actually go and notice that it's quite different from what you thought. I guess I'll know about that when I go study abroad.

Will you send me a note and we'll talk?

Suddenly my first week doesn't seem so bad...

I've never had to experience something like that, but to think of what you're going through, I know it has to be unbearably tough. Just don't stop asking for love from the family you have in Czech or your friends on here--everyone's here for you.

You know, it's different when you CHOOSE to live abroad. For myself, I also want to study and live abroad. I want to try in Finland, or some other scandinvian country, but what I definitely don't want is ever live in this blasted piece of land I have to live in now. But when you choose to live somewhee, it's your own wish, then it must be quite the opposite

I understand your father completely

Sleeping the winter through sounds really nice.

Finland is one of my dreams too, ever since I've been there last year. Magical country ^^ I love the forests especially.

You're probably right

Why did you have to move there, if I may ask?

You're right. My friends and family keep me adrift. Thank you so much

And Just because you're going through something else, it doesn't mean it's any easier on you

~Niphredill Sep 2, 2009, 9:12:52 AM

Yeah, it's magical for me too, even though I've only ever dreamed of it

We had to move because the economical situation in Bulgaria was horrible for raising a family with two small children. It was a few years after the political turn, when 'democracy' settled and made the country into a mess.
My father's half-czech, so he found a job here, and we moved.
