:)

Talking to an old friend made me thing about stuff! As always, when I talk to him! Made me think about who I am, what I want, what I have accomplished...if accomplished anything! It 5 o'clock in the morning, I cannot sleep, and they say that thinking during the night is the worst thing one could do!
Soon, my Erasmus semester will end! I am not sure whether I have changed during this period, although i would like to think that I did...in a good way of course! I have made myself important first! I've become more responsible, and yet I would like to think that there still is a child inside of me!
Independence felt good, but it's time to go back to my reality, to wake up from the dream that has become Italy! I will never forget these 4 months that I spent here. However, I miss the things that kept me happy at home!
A toast for Italy and me! For I have survived one of the biggest challenges in my life, so far!

"Missing title"

As I said in former posts, expectations bring along disappointments.
I have been waiting for this Easter holiday so much time, the way home was the longest road I had to go on...But as days passed, I realized that I had too many expectations from this holiday..and now, I am disappointed. I haven't done half the things I wanted to do while being at home, and on top of that, I am sick now! Great..
It's Wednesday already, and on Sunday I am heading towards Italy again..Great. I miss my roommate and my friends there, but I know I will miss my home...
Maybe I will finally learn that I shouldn't expect so much out of everything...

...

Life is exactly the way you want it to be, the way you want to live it and you are exactly who you want to be...even in front of yourself.


Good for you ;) :)


But who are you lying to in the end?

Taking or not taking risks?

People can be divided in too many categories: simple, complicated, rich, poor, adventurous, afraid and the list can continue. In this essay, I shall try to point out the differences between those who prefer to do what they are already good at and those people who prefer to try new things and take risks.

One of the bad things that is surrounding us nowadays is commodity. In my opinion, I think that this is one of the reasons why people prefer to do things that they are already good at. Another factor is fear. Fear…a human emotion or feeling that makes people retreat to their shell. Fear and commodity are the two biggest enemies of a human being, because, due to these conditions, a person can miss many unique occasions in their lifetime.

On the other hand, those who take risks can be both fortunate and unfortunate, depending on the situation. A person can take risks in order to achieve a higher position on the social scale, or climb a mountain, or do bungee jumping or many other adventurous things.

To be honest, I prefer taking risks although I do things I already know I am good at. I think that (almost) everything is worth to try it once. If one does not like it, one does not have to repeat it. However, we can never know if a thing is good or not if we do not try it.

In conclusion, I think that every person should try (almost) everything at least once, in order to know if that thing is good or bad for them, or if they enjoy it or not. Taking risks sometimes is good, can be constructive and may “open some doors”.

There's more to me than meets the eye!

Don't you hate when people look at you for the first time and think they have you all figured out? Because I do!
They think that if you talk in a certain way, or act in a certain way, you are like this or like that. They give you names, act by prejudice and think that they are better than you. Most of the times, they are worse. And if someone tells them that, they feel offended. Maybe they forgot to look themselves in the mirror once in a while, and if they really see who they are, or really know who they are, then they should speak about someone else. It's certain that no one really knows who they are! I don't know who I really am, yet I know myself. I wonder if the things you like, or the music you listen to, or the words you say define a person.
They say that "the eyes are the mirror of one's soul". I cannot agree with that. Why?! Because your eyes can express what ever you want them to express, what ever you want people to see in them. You choose how to look at the person in front of you, no matter of the topic of your discussion.
For example, if you are impressed, your eyes are big; if you lie, you look the other way. You don't come with an "user manual"...you can be impressed by something and yet, don't express anything.
So I guess, falsity surrounds us everywhere, unless we want to change that.
One can choose to be happy or not, show that is is happy or not, or just choose to be affected or not by the things that happen in general.
It's just the way it goes...it does not go by default, but by choice!

Life-changing experience...

So...uhmmm...Italy...Erasmus..Residence...

I miss my home, but I now consider this my home. It's only been a month, however, I got used to the city, to my room, to my roommate...
There are no appropriate words to describe what I am living here. Regardless of the money, I couldn't have gone to a better place! I am afraid, though, that I will not want to go home anymore! At this point, it doesn't seem normal..I should miss my home...is it bad that I don't?! I know it is a contradiction to what I said in the beginning, but now it seems real!
On Monday night, 28th March, I am going to Brussels at the European forum on Decentralized Cooperation...what more can I want? :)
