A D&M with my partner brought me to write about this. 2 different worlds. The world that I know and the world he knows. As I contemplate upon these things I realize that there are not 2 worlds, but 2 different perceptions of the world.
Having travelled and seen the things I have seen, I hunger for more, The world i know. I was independent, free, no worries, no care, just me and the big world. No matter what country I was in, I made the most of it. I saw most good days than bad days. I was genuinely happy. Happy with life, happy with my surrounding and mainly happy with myself. It was as though I had no limit to what I could do. It was as if everyday I lived, it was a dream.
Now, I find myself limited. As I replay the scenario of it in my head, I find myself with the same conclusion, this country I'm in now, is still under developed. Hence why I am limited to do the things I aspire to do. It is not only that, but also, my father. Being where I am and it's circumstances my father still treats me like the child I was. However, I find that he is not all to take the blame, I'm childish myself.
But nothing made me realize the 2 worlds until I spoke with my partner. Our conversation really did determine that he is my opposite in every way. He spoke of his life here, his dreams, his aspirations, his goals and what I had noticed is that he had no dream, aspirations, goals of wanting to see the world as I have. He is happy to remain where he is. This is the life he knows and loves. I thought deeper, and questioned. With my hunger for travels reaching it's peak, I found myself with a man who is totally opposite. I wondered if its because this is the only life he's comfortable with, or that he doesn't wanna take risks, or he's afraid of what's out there coz it may not be what he expected. It puzzles me. But no matter what, I still have desires to see more of the world.
Now it makes me think, can our 'different' worlds mix???
