Prelude

Here we go. Two years I've been working fulltime and got paid less only to have one year off. Off of work, of living in the same place, of having a daily routine, of beeing mentally stuck. Living in the same place and having a daily routine of getting up, go to work, come home (pretty early) was kind of leading into beeing stuck, because I caught myself living from holiday to holiday, going out as much as I could trying to get a hold on the good old days. But 4 years in Dresden ran through like a weekend. Didn't really make close long lasting friends, got frustrated with the little things at work and watched way too many movies trying to fill spare time. So basically stuck. Additionally I felt like having moved backwards with coming back to Dresden which I wanted to leave dearly when I was twenty. And I never got a hold on the people there. At least it felt like that. 

 

At the same time I wasn't sure whether I really want to travel by myself for a year, because despite the fact that I can surf a lot and see a lot of amazing places I will do that alone. Every time. And not having a close and steady social group back home but craving for that and now putting myself in the very positon on a daily basis does not seem to be a very good idea. But would this hiatus be better off on home soil? I highly doubt this will be the case so I might as well use the time been given.
