One of my favorite things about the Dutch language is that luck and happiness can be expressed by the same word, 'gelukkig'. Right now that feels very apt as I have reach a point where I am feeling both extremely fortunate and joyous.
The reasons for this mental state are multiple. First of all, as nice as it's been to see our friends for longer than it takes to finish one beer has been, I'm glad that the weeks of sleeping on people's floors and couches are finally over.
M and I found a place to live in nowhere else but at the heart of the legendary Jordaan area. We will be having the whole top floor of a beautiful 18th century house shared by three other young professionals. Not only does this save us a lot of money, but we also get to live in one of the most charming streets of Amsterdam together with extremely fun people with whom we seem to share a lot of interests.
Secondly, spring is here, and people are acting accordingly. Folks are humming, singing, taking a few dancing steps, flirting, and most importantly, SMILING.
The third reason for my bliss can be found behind blue eyes. Goddammit if he doesn't make me feel like a giggly schoolgirl and howl with laughter like a retarded hyena.
