Exhausted but happy is how I end this day. After a refreshing morning of sweating at the gym and studying for my entrance exam, I spent the evening meeting my dear old friend and a lot of new wonderful people! I knew it was going to be fun, but I had such a nice time that I was really sad to leave.
Meeting new people can sometimes be really awkward and uncomfortable (especially if they are Finnish) but this time (probably also due to the fact they weren't) it was like I'd known them for a long time even though I don't really know anything about any of them and only remember one or two names. However, it wasn't weird at all to play games and dance and jump around with these people after being in the same room for only five or ten minutes.
That's what I love about the orthodox circles, we are all so similar no matter where we come from. It is almost like our brains are adapted to the same wavelength so that it is effortless to spend time with each other from the first minutes on. And these guys... damn, they can sing! I could have kept listening to them for so much longer, but I guess it was better this way since even now it was already dark when I got home (real home? previous home? parents' house? what am I supposed to call it now that I live in a different city?).
I didn't even know that tonight was exactly what I needed. I have been hanging out with friends a lot, yeah, but this camp-like social cohesion and the funny four-language translations of the game rules made me forget all the stress and hurry I've felt lately. I needed a hug more than I thought, and luckily, I got plenty of them tonight.
So, in case any of you ever read this, thanks a lot again for a wonderful evening, I hope to meet you again some day!
