What a long strange trip it has been so far. With almost 1,5 years living in Beijing under my belt I already feel as though it has been at least 5! With the good times and the bad I've gained a lot from this experience and I will continue walking the path I've chosen for myself with even more confidence. Now I'm a few days away from returning to my home and I simply can't wait. I've missed my family, my friends and the cozy weather of Athens. I'm also looking forward to relaxing and regaining my focus. This is a good opportunity to reflect on what I've done so far and consider future possibilities for myself and my beloved Kimy.
What does this mean for the blog? Honestly, I don't know yet. I've been absent...a lot. Work has been taxing. Coming to terms with having less time to do other things that I enjoy is probably the biggest culprit. But now I have a much better grasp on managing my time and I want to focus on getting interesting and high quality content out there. Kimy and I have been toying with the idea of starting a language podcast. I have some more things that I would like to do as well. Regarding GMB (fancy acronyms in dramatic moments are cool) I've come to terms that it will probably never be anything more than just a diary of sorts. A way to sort of portray my life here in China. I'll continue writing here as much as I can but I feel that my inspiration will be a better fit for other areas. The only possible change I foresee is moving to Wordpress which I find to be a much more versatile platform.
Chinese New Year is almost upon us so I wish you all the best and hope to catch some of you in Athens after I arrive!
恭喜发财 (Congratulations and be prosperous)
