Just booked my ticket to Budapest! I kept postponing it for weeks... I dont know WHY it took me so long to decide to go to this workshop! Its for media people, thats why. Im not a media person and my application was accidental! Im not sure how I got accepted, maybe they confused me with someone else? It doesnt matter though, I love Budapest and Im so happy to get out of Cyprus, no matter what it is, I ll make the most of it.

My partner will be a Pakistani journalist who works for Deutche Welle in Hamburg. Im excited! My partner in Kenya was a journalist too and he had all these exciting journalism stories that I loved to hear, every night, by the sea, a glass of wine at hand. Is it accidental that life keeps throwing journalists my way? Did I make a mistake when I started studying for a PhD and rejected the place I got in the MA programme in Journalism and Communications? I never, ever, looked back on that one, but Im beggining to wonder... m.

No, my thoughts are just scattered everywhere and Im about to start considering if it was a mistake not becoming a ballarina. Its just that daydreaming and what-could-have-beens help me get through reality. I like dreaming of a different life, even if its something that its too late for it to happen.

Whatever, Im going to Budapest and there's life-changing potential there too...
