In this world of unnecessary hurry
Slow down and breath. Enjoy the beautiful silence the night and darkness brings. You can do it although you are surrounded by people. You do have the control of blocking out everything.
For instance, all around me there are people talking and drinking beer like old and new friends are supposed to do. They are fooling around and screaming in different languages to one another, but still, here I am in a chair next to our Volkswagen, closing my eyes and listening to a meaningful song by Staind called “Tangled up in you”.
I’m dreaming of my wonderful friends, both old and new ones and others I do not yet know. How I wish to meet all of you and just laugh. You great people are from all around the world. Germany, USA, Canada, England, Estonia, Denmark, Sweden, France, Italy, Korea, China, Japan, Vietnam, New Zealand and of course Australia.
The biggest dream I’ve ever had is to meet all of you at the same time. To just see all of you from every different age group there is, interact and get to know one another. Wouldn’t that be bloody brilliant?
Following footprints
Time passes so quickly, in most cases too quickly. That’s what everyone says. Not only that, we hear it spoken aloud every day, we think about it every day and we remember it every single day. The years passes by and there’s no stopping to it. You could call it a never-ending battle, if you think of it as a battle.
What I find interesting though is tracing back ones past. Trying to remember what I’ve gone through since the age of six or think of an awesome barbecue we had a few weeks ago. Following ones own footprints is sometimes what can lead us on the right path into the future.
The above picture was taken a few days before New Years during a road trip up north past Perth, in a town called Cervantes. If I remember correctly. 
That road trip together with my love Jenny, our Australian friend Daisy and her two British friends Jess and Lindsey, were overwhelmingly hot. We spent the whole day sweating in the car but it was well worth it because we got to see the famous Pinnacles and we had lots of fun.
Now it is actually time for bed because we start work at five in the morning. Pictures from work will be coming up on the blog in a universe not too far away in a future we, as of now, can’t foresee. Good night and sleep tight!
The Wheel of Progress
On rare occasions I have dreams that I actually remember. Most often they involve my past, what I’ve been through and they try to teach me things. At some instances when I’ve had problems or questions I’ve been pondering, they have been resolved not by me directly. They have been resolved by dreams. Sometimes when dreaming it is just like I’m an actor, playing a roll I can’t really change and experience things all over again, sometimes for years until they make sense. Do you recognize that sort of dreams?
On a different subject. Every day I think of you, my family and friends, wishing you were here to experience all these exciting things alongside me. It is a unique type of life I have experienced these last two years. Sometimes I get amazed myself when thinking about how far I’ve come and in that sense not only in distance. Personal development. Something all of us crave for every once in a while, to feel that we are getting somewhere. Not wasting the years, so that in the end you cannot remember which year you did what since they were all the same.
What I wanted to say is that I think of my family and friends every single day. Among those I count persons I’ve only met once that I still keep close to my heart. I promise never to stop striving for a life more suitable for me and wish you to promise the same thing to yourself. And not only promise, you have to mean it as well. Lets develop and expand and experience ourselves in all the ways possible for as long as we live. Come on, I dare you to live a unique life.
Lost in the mist
We did survive our 4000 km long trip from Melbourne VIC to Manjimup WA, which has been truly a remarkable trip. There is too much to say concerning this, especially now that we only have very limited Internet time. All we’ve had enough for is to just check our e-mails but not write anything. Sorry ’bout that!
This is just one of all the pictures I’ve taken through our six-days-journey. When we left the desert, the Nullarbor Plain, I did have a few tears in my eyes because I did not want it to end. That journey. Did not want to leave the Nullarbor, this spectacular scenery nor the great people living in the middle of nowhere.
One town we visited for fuel is called Madura. In Madura there are only six inhabitants. Then you probably understand how far from everything and everyone it is.
Today I began one of my new jobs. This one only last until tomorrow. On Wednesday I start my new career as a pruner which feels quite amazing. Really looking forward to it.
Please take care of you and don’t forget to drop by, promise I’ll update although I may not be available to write everytime.
Love makes the world go round.
