Fish with feet!

My dear friend Elisa recited an incident from the time when she attended a talk that was about going back to the home country after living abroad for education. The speaker compared people to 'fish' and according to her theory..
"There are big fish and small fish, fat fish and thin fish in this sea called life. Life, post travelling, changes you. The fish grow feet." That sounds strange! Fish with feet!!
"When we go back to where we come from, we are still the same fish. Except, we now have feet! We can now hop skip and jump. And we will get frustrated when we meet other fish who think differently, and move differently because the feet are missing. And once in a while, we might come across a fish that has feet, one who has traveled, like us and maybe then we will feel better about ourselves because we won't be alone!"

in my mind



"but part of you is screaming don’t you understand how much I have changed? And I don’t mean hair, weight, dress or anything else that has to do with appearance. I mean what’s going on inside of your head. The way your dreams have changed, they way you perceive people differently, the habits you’re happy you lost, the new things that are important to you."

How someone can describe what goes on in my mind is beyond my understanding. I no longer want the same things I wanted before I started this journey. I guess travel does mess up your mind. :)
