Taking A Chance.

Bödele, 2015

A few months back when Brigitte had asked me if I would like to stay with Monika and all till my apartment was ready, I was filled with doubt. So much so that I almost backed out.
I was so scared as to what if it again does not work out. I did not want to endanger my relationship with Brigitte. Past experiences had made me vary.
Honestly, right now, after reading their christmas card again, I am so glad that I took that chance and stayed with them.
In the past year and a half I have met my fair share of people that I would have rather not met, but this family accepted me as one of their own.
In them, I found friends and a family away from my family. For the first time in a while the place where I stayed felt like a home rather than an enclosed space where I came to eat and sleep.
All the things that went wrong earlier, did not work out for a reason.

I guess, my point is that although we might be scared of taking a chance on something that previously did not work out for us, it is important that we take a chance on ourselves because sometimes, maybe, just maybe, you might find some people worth finding.
