What if I told you that you could watch how someone's life can get much more interesting, and complicated even if they think they don't want it?
What if that someone is potentially you?
Would you choose someone even if you rejected them first?
What...
Sun that was usually hiding behind the clouds every day during the wintertime, this January morning was playfully trying to wake up "sleeping princess" in her bed, but that princess was not bothered by that act at all. How typical of her.
She enjoyed every minute of sun's warm and golden presence partially because she didn't know what to expect since she decided that she'll be moving her ass to UK. And let me tell you that no one knows if that's good idea, no one except her heart. Some things you just have to do. You don't ask what is the price or why. You just trust yourself.
And don't get me wrong. It's not that she doesn't enjoy rainier weather, she feels so in tune with herself and with the world around her when rain is falling, she just doesn't like that lack of energy that rainy weather brings. And in contrary of that, as a child of sun - she always called herself like that when no one was listening or watching- she always believed that her astrology sign had to do something with it because just the presence of sun always made her feel so special. As if it was talking to only her, like it was caressing her delicate face with every ray of sunshine.
Well, one thing was certain – it's time to get up. Even her alarm would agree with that for the fifth time this morning. Girl loved her bed more than anything, but she remembered that she had some things to actually do today. Unlike other days when she would just spent her time on social media doing nothing but also thinking about how she could do something actually productive instead of that. She never knew what to do, but at the same time she had so many ideas of what to do. It's always overwhelming. Nobody tells you that your 20's are overwhelming and impulsive AF.
Life in Eastern Europe was never easy for young adults. Especially for people who don't feel like they belong in a place they grew up in. They know somewhere else is their home. That feeling. And sometimes Karlotta stayed longer in her bed just because of that feeling. Trying to understand where her home is. Or maybe it's a person? Sarcastically she thought, she haven't been with anyone since she broke up with that rat-looking ex.
If you'd ask her, she would say that she found herself and she was happier than ever, at least that's what she has been feeding her delusion of 'everything's perfect in my life, including the love that I only receive from myself'.
But what you didn't know is that there is actually the real reason why is she so happy every time she would woke up.
She believed that her dreams always had a meaning. And those blue eyes with green within them made her feel like they were destined to find her. She believed that they would find each other. No matter how long it takes. She indeed was hopeless romantic. Will that break her heart more than it should? Probably, but sometimes you have to break something to make it ready for something bigger and better.
Karlotta knew that but she didn't want to confess that to herself. She also knew that when everything is right, everything will come to its place. Like a puzzle.
Well sometimes the universe is solving your life like a puzzle. Step by step. But not in Karlotta's case. When I tell you that she doesn't have idea of what "hurricane" is coming her way. She will be all over the place, and in some kind of weird way she can feel it. While she is packing her last things, she can feel that slight change coming, deep down in her heart.
"Everything packed?" mother asked her, probably for tenth time since she woke up. Her mother, Danielle, was always a smaller woman, with short but dark black hair that always made her seem more angrier and serious than she really was. She was very smart woman, showing only emotions that she wants you to see, just like in this moment she seemed happy for her daughter leaving her nest and going to another country, but reality was way sadder than it seemed. Her heart was in pure depression and she wasn't ready to confess that out loud.
Karlotta just nodded her head in a positive way while she was going through her check list. "I think everything is packed, and all the other stuff we already moved to Woking. So... everything is already done. Why can't you go with me this time also?" she said while hugging her mother. They were very close but this time Danielle knew that she needs to let her daughter experience the world in a way she never dared to. "You know I have to work this afternoon, and we had been there together the first time, this time you can go alone. I believe in you." those words only made Karlotta sadder, she wanted to cry on mothers shoulder like a little kid, but Danielle was right.
Karlotta grabbed her water bottle and her beige tote bag while looking around the apartment she was leaving behind with her mother and brother. Her brother Darian was driving her to the airport, he was sad that his big sister had to leave but also he was happy for her.
"Come on, you fool. Your plane will fly without you if you don't hurry." her brother was telling her, being dramatic as always. After an hour, all three of them were on airport hugging each other and just saying goodbyes.
"I miss you already, you know?" Danielle said to her with tears in her eyes, but trying to hold them from going further than they are. "I miss you too" she said "and you" she looked at her brother who just smiled while hugging his mother.
After hugging, Karlotta went to check in and she was going through terminal heading to her plane while waving to her family until she didn't see them anymore. She was scared so much of possibility that this could mean she is starting her life somewhere else. Somewhere unknown. It was scary thought, but she tried her best to calm herself just like her mother did when she was a kid. She held her own hand imagining it's her mothers and just a thought about that made her eyes all teared up, but she knew big girls don't cry.
"London.. here I come." she said quietly to herself while trying to be as mush comfortable she could in her seat.
