As time passes, I find myself getting more and more used to the idea that this is it, this is my life now. My entire way of living has been shifted - I realise more than ever what a privileged life I led before, never having to worry about shelter over my head, having my desire to learn always met, having enough money to do pretty much whatever I wanted.
It was a curious sensation, that of having one's entire worldview thrown to the wayside and thrust into a completely new, completely different way of living, of thinking, of being.
I enjoy exploring, fortunately. I also enjoy learning. And when thrust into a new plane of existence, I do what I can to learn, and right now, this involves exploring.
But exploring doesn't necessarily mean moving - I wandered around the Citadel for the better half of the afternoon, learning my way around, earning food and board at a local boarding house by completely menial manual labour tasks. The season, as far as I could tell, was the Earth equivalent of Autumn, with the days glorious celebrations of sunlight, and nights getting colder as they extend for longer and longer.
I sit back on a bench, rugged up beneath my leopard seal cloak with its many pockets, and watch as the Citadel makes its transition into night - the lanterns coming on, fireplaces roaring within households, and the people becoming fewer in number. This is my choice of exploring for this evening - to sit back and watch the world for a bit.
