The Wind Will Carry Us

 

Not every journey will be smooth-sailing. But obstacles, detractors and cynics often make any trip even more worthwhile. Almost 6,600km away from my base, will I be able to get what I want?

I love quotes.

Because they remind you of things you often forget, even though you might be thinking of them all the time.

Write some quotes on your most prominent wall to constantly remind yourself of stuff that are important to you. Note: it doesn’t just have to be goals or dreams.

On the other hand, it’s been ages since I’ve done something really meaningful. When a small part of you has died (after the firefighting days), it’s extremely difficult to find something else to fill your life with. Some resign to dope, drinking and casual sex to attempt to get back on their feet again. Others try many other ways to make themselves useful again, including helping others, or pick up a new skill. But in the free world where nobody will appreciate you, thank you, or understand you anymore, you either crash and fade into oblivion or emerge stronger from every blow you receive.

All in all, still, I miss those days so much.
