This last week, I was at my new house in Amsterdam Watergraafsmeer again for a little bit. I got there Tuesday, but by Tuesday night I was a complete weepy, emotional wreck and my parents ended up picking me up the next day. Friday I paid a visit to the physiotherapist who had good tips, and in the afternoon I went to get my new glasses (see picture!!) – I was definitely in better spirits. Where does Maslow's hierachy fit in here? Have certain basic needs been fulfilled since Tuesday?
I have to admit, I’m still experiencing real physical pain. Extremely frustrating. I don't feel like a whole lot has changed recently in this area. But I'm realizing more and more that being happy involves a choice. This goes even if all my needs in Maslow's hierarchy haven't been met, even if I'm lacking in certain physical areas or if I'm not doing what I had envisioned myself to be doing at 27. Thankfully my reasons for happiness are abundant - such as the fact that I have parents who love me enough to come and pick me up :) Wow.
