How it feels: Back to civilization.
I am now back from Saudi and loving it👍🏾. I am even back to work in Finland and how nice and easy it is to work here where all flows as it's supposed to, no hitches, no national prayer times, basically life is flowing forward.
Many of my colleagues and friends have been asking how it feels to be back. That's how i came up with a title for this blog! How inspirational is that! Don't worry, am not a writer, I tell tales best face to face. My facial expressions are well talented and the body is trying to join in too. I can only tell the same story enough times so here is the last version in writing. The next person who asks will be answered by my facial expressions and a link to bio command, once i know how to link that on insta.
It feels like being free, yea, figure that out.
It's not that I was in jail but I have known and confirmed in an year that jail is not behind prison doors and gates! Jail can be right in your home, your job or country. Not being able to be you or to fully express yourself( to some extent) is jail. You may wonder why phrase it as>to some extent. I mean if expressing yourself fully, means showing your butt crack while in jeans, that's not the freedom am talking about! You are allowed to show as much butt crack as you can to the authorized personnel..moving forward, i have been released to freedom..to Civilization..
When you get fat in Africa, they assume that things must be going really well, you are relaxed and at peace with yourself. I used to assume it's just simple and plain that someone is becoming fat. I disagreed with that aspect until I came back. I have only been back for 7 weeks and am struggling to button my jeans and might not wear a bikini this summer, but am running , back to the gym and checking my diet. Thankyou, i know you love me but you dont have to send those slimmimg pills, atleast not yet. I am just learning of living on food diary! Counting calories intake daily, will let you know how that goes in a later blog, if the blog never comes then you know what happened.. Hahaha....
I bet those kilos must have come from wine! I am not a drunk, i can see where your mind is shifting to, even if theres some bottles of Champagne and wine on my insta, it was under control, i just think wine has never tasted so good as it did this time round! And who can blame me, after an year of drinking home made wine and liqor! Without a clue who made it or how they made it..! I swear, the spirits of the universe do take care of its people. If a Bottle of wine is 500(bad) calories! I understand where i am.. Please help me god.. Less wine henceforth😜
I have now gone back to work, the winter has cleared off, i am scared of hay fever(spring is here)! I can think, i can decide, i can run, i can bike, and i def can show my knees to the world! I am living outside the bubble! I am Thankful and content with everything except the Kilos!😎 but we are working on that!
Stay safe: keep smiling
Ok, i had missed your last 3 posts. Had to go back to catch up. You are such an interesting writer Liz. Welcome back to Suomi...
ReplyDeleteLiz, I wonder if you have anything nice to say about Saudi, from all of your posts, you sounded really pessimistic about your experience. Also, I wonder why you refer to Finland as the civilised/free place and Saudi Arabia as the uncivilised/restricting place
ReplyDeleteHey shiee, if you Read the blog on pro/Cons you will find the few positive vibe.. On the other hand i am comparing my life outside and inside the Kingdom! Saudi is the most restrictive country in the world! Its a Man's world! I write my blogi accredited to how feel i value my rights to live, different people and diff circumstances will reflect completely diff views.. Some blogi i it itch to write but cant because of papers we signed before going there:-) catch me up for a Tea, ..
