I Walk

I’ve been called brave, ambious, and gung ho by friends, family and overly curious strangers at the supermarket. I feel as though I’m none of these things. I’m on the brink of 30, with a dwindling bank account, and fewer and fewer jobs prospects living in a foreign country in the middle of a pandemic. Maybe that’s bravery? That precarious line between being stubborn enough to go through with plans no matter the hurdles while being stupid enough to close your eyes and plug your ears when common sense screams “This is a mistake!”.
