Sex on the Beach . . .
Webster defines culture shock as “a sense of confusion and uncertainty sometimes with feelings of anxiety that may affect people exposed to an alien culture or environment without adequate preparation.” Often we attribute culture shock to moving to a strange place or visiting a foreign land. And after being raised in the busy and bustling ‘burbs of Chicago to being thrust into the placid plains of rural Nebraska, I think I can honestly say that I’m no stranger to culture shock
Considering myself rather worldly after surviving life as a certified cornhusker I had no idea what laid in store for me next. . . . Seven years living in Europe to be precise.
You might say my life was charmed. You would be gravely mistaken. My life in Europe albeit fascinating, educational, and an experience like none other, was far from the nuptial merriment and bliss that I had dreamed of. As a result, I recently found myself returning stateside, single, and licking my wounds. Ready to begin life anew.
Needless to say, I was quite the veteran to culture shock before I moved to Jacksonville. However, nothing prepared me for the shock of the whole single and “dating” scene or trying to build friendships and bonds once more this time without the calming assurance of a stable partner at your side. Not having dated since high school (I would cite the years, but that would allow one with mathematical prowess to calculate my age, and as I am about to celebrate my 29th birthday once again, I dare not let on to my true year of birth), I hadn’t a clue what was in store for me next.
My observations, ruminations, blunders, and the eventual triumphs as a once single and looking woman on the beach are about to be reveled. Watch this space.
