It's been quite some time since I wrote anything here. The last weeks've been quite a jovial, nonchalant holiday life! Lots of travelling, meeting people, seeing very old friends, drinking, laughing, living, loving, experiencing; pick one if you will. Indeed, spending life this way was probably the best I could've done. There isn't much going on in the town I spend most of my days in. I needed to leave, and I was right .. it felt great to get away! Sitting on the train for hours has a vibe .. the "travel vibe"! That nice feeling of seeing people get in, get out; listening to some music or reading a book; drawing, writing; or even just watch the landscapes go by; but most of all, that feeling of "going somewhere". Not just sitting around, no immobility. Somewhere "on the train tracks", with people you'll probably never see again. I guess I spend too much time on trains in total in my life to wish them any harm. In fact, I can be in love with the travelling part itself sometimes. I attribute it as part of the entire experience. And, the longer you sit on them the more the surroundings and people change. It's .. interesting I suppose. My folks really want me to work, and I think they're very right about that, but there was huge part of me that needed the feeling of not being bound to time-space-reality. Floating, as I call it - between here and there, then and now. After all, exaggeration's not only art, it's also a means of survival. Breaking through all the chains that tie us in everyday life often appears far harder than it is. Most people are just too cauught up in all "they have to do" or think "they need", instead of recognizing that there's also power in knowing when to turn your back on it all and go surf through your own reality (for a while). Move, act, go! Don't just sit there and wait for things to become awesome, but get up and DO something to actually make that happen! Just like when life is slowly messing you up, learn to know when to stop being acted upon and instead act - mess things up yourself, mess with life, mess with freedom! Evade your own standardized thinking; allow for some fun and lightness to happen. Sometimes that is where the dark becomes light, by simply experiencing life light....
Therefore, today, I wish to show you another version of exaggeration. That of the positive side, that which shouts CLEARLY and LOUDLY that the possibilities and remedies to everything lie within ourselves. Sometimes, all it really takes is an immense push (by ourselves) that gets this special human energy we've got out of our systems and into the production of something positive!
Last but not least, ALWAYS remember that "if you change the way you look at things, the things you look at ... Change!"
