A New Beginning

The first day at the hostel was so liberating. I felt like I actually moved to London! Smoking in the TV lounge, breakfast and coffee included, cooking allowed anytime, mingling among any combination of sexes is encouraged and no curfew!!! I'm allowed to eat and drink! and smoke! and talk to people after 11pm! Our sleeping spaces are not separated due to our genitals! Did I mention alcohol?! That is allowed too and very much encouraged!

I celebrated by having a coffee and a smoke, alone in the TV lounge on the couch. I finally felt like human. I smiled.
