Changes

When I opened a new window to write this post it was Sunday, and I thought to myself 'Sunday is such a perfect day for blogging'. Sleeping till noon, having a long breakfast and just being lazy all day. However, as I type this it's Monday evening. My plan to write a post yesterday somehow ended down in the trash box. And I am sitting here wondering what did I do with my day yesterday. Anyhow, I am typing this after a long day in town (I am back in Frankfurt yay!) and I have to be honest, crutches are so extremely tiring. I am halfway through (I hope), I still have several weeks to go till I can stand on my very own two feet and that's what's keeping me strong and positive. On the last night at my mom's place I got this sudden urge to clean - and I don't mean to wash the dishes or attempt to hoover the house whilst supporting myself on crutches (would be a funny sight to see though). I was really in the mood to go through my old belongings, which were burried in gigantic boxes in the basement. I found some of the clothes and little nothings back from high school days and I think it was the first time when I had zero nostalgia. I just looked at it all and threw most of it away. Just like that. Basically all of it. Why? I don't know and I am not planning to question that. I am just ready for new changes.
'Here was a whole world yet to be discovered, and I had only just cracked its surface. The thought filled me with regret - but also a shameful kind of relief. I would see my home again, after all, and my parents. And maybe it was childish, this old urge to explore for exploring's sake. There was romance in the unknown, but once a place had been discovered and cataloged and mapped, it was diminished, just another dusty fact in a book, sapped of mystery. So maybe it was better to leave a few spots on the map blank. To let the world keep a little of its magic, rather than forcing it to divulge every last seceret.'
Today I'm listening to: Mikky Ekko - Burning Doves

This was a very inspiring and timely read for me! I'm spending a few days at a conference for work, and I always feel inspired to make changes and improvements to how I do my job when I get back from these types of professional development events. I have so many ideas that I now have the overwhelming task of figuring out how to implement! But I'm grateful for the opportunities to continuously improve myself, personally and professionally.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun! What I like about those type of events is that you are around like-minded people and that is really inspiring. It always recharges your mind with ideas and new plans, doesn't it? I hope you had a great time at your conference, would love to hear more about it! x
