For the past few days I was filled with excitement as I read up everything I could about London. I booked six theatre shows and memorized the areas for walking trails. I booked a place near the heart of the city, ready to take it on and explore in depth into the London scene.
There is deep disappointment in my heart, however, as I seem not to know anyone from London. Alone in this stretch of my journey, I finally feel lost, isolated, and to the point I almost felt like crying when i misplaced my keys. I only misplace my keys when I feel very anxious and the last time I felt so much anxiety was the first day at university in a sprawling campus and I was lost in directions to rush for my lecture.
I ask myself what was my mistakes in trying to make London friends but I can’t seem to make or keep any. I had visited many countries and staying over on friends sofas. I ask myself why has my relationship with Londoners fail and I find myself sighing.
I never intended to come alone. It was a matter of circumstances that made this trip so lonely. A part of me now yearns to visit my relatives residing in the UK outside London. But then again, I hope there is a better tomorrow and I will learn to move on from this point.
