Dear You,
I know this whole English experiment started as a self-imposed exile but truth be told, I never actually expected things to work this way. Don't get me wrong, I'm not complaining or anything, it's just that I still can't believe it. I remember how I was the first week I came here and I see how I am now and it feels so good because I really am happy! Now I can listen to all the sad, depressing songs I like without thinking they're talking about me! You can't tell me that's not amazing!
I'm still working on how I'm gonna tell my parents I'm not returning to Greece. I think mama suspects that already and that's the reason she's been trying to get me to go to Agrinio for the summer (not gonna happen!!). I don't get it, I mean I'm getting my inheritance so what's the point in arguing where I'm gonna stay and spend it? The way I see it is fairly simple: this place makes me happy. I want to be happy. So, I'll stay here and be happy! Ta da! Oh, and maybe find a job too. And finish and publish my book as well. Okay, there are a few things I want to do but I'm sure it will work out. If I stay I will be able to help Lina when she comes for her master's.
Of course I'm gonna have a hard time explaining why I want to stay. I can't tell them the truth, it's complicated and I would have to account for the lies of two years which does not sound very appealing. I fucking hate lies but I doubt they would have let me go if they knew the truth. Plus, Lina would get in so much trouble! She's been covering for me, I can't just expose her like that. Nope, I'm gonna have to find another way. If you were talking to me we would have skyped but you're still mad so no news from that front. It's okay, that just makes my job easier. The fewer the ties with this country, the easier for me to leave. My parents will be able to come whenever they want. I will have a glorious summer destination (not to mention the summer house) and a brand new life here. Sounds perfect. Besides, they all know I never belonged there in the first place.
Speaking of new lives, I made a decision. I'm meeting with Sharon and Isa on Wednesday. We're gonna discuss our drafts and have some lunch. Anyway, I've thought things over and I'm going to discuss what I've thought with Sharon because she resembles mama and mama always gave me the best advice on boy trouble. She certainly told me how to handle you when you thought you were in love with me and we worked things out, remember? Sharon is pretty nice, you would have liked her. I'm sure she'll help. I just know that unless I do something someone will get hurt and I really don't want that! I'm doing so well, I'm so happy, I absolutely love everything here! I need to sort this out. I'm gonna sign off now and go make some porridge. I'll fake-talk to you again soon.
