You need to treat your soul well!

It is said that love is a huge word to use, and it takes years before you can actually be sure that you really love someone. And here is the thing that I strongly disagree with. Does love need ten thousands proves to be called love? Can't love be something sudden? Something that just gets into your life, hits you and make you realize things? Something that simply makes your existence better? I very well believe that you can feel love after 1 hour conversation with someone. It just need to be THE right person in THE right time of your life...
Love is not about time period. Love is about experience, about the new positive vibe in your life.

Some time ago I started to have this doubts if I can still perceive things really deeply. Not many experiences were able to bring up this sparkle of emotions any more. You know? Like you feel that once you get older the sparkle is not for you any more. Like you need to get more serious now, and put dreams aside and just do your job, pay your rent, meet friends, post something cool on facebook, buy yourself a pair of jeans... casual things. And all that with this thought that one day, when you make enough money and this and that, everything will change big time! But hey, wait a minute. How to stand the every day pressure of big expectations without falling down? Oh yea, they say that sport is good way out of stress. Right so you try some sport... swimming for instance, or wait... I know jogging sounds better... At least you can listen to music while running. Alright boy, so you did all that and do you feel better? Maybe you do, for one second, maybe two... not for long though. Something is missing, right? Your body feels better, but how about your soul? 

I have this great friend -  the sould-treater - the person that tells you things that you already know, but for some reason when she says them you feel like you have heard them for the first time in your life, they become meaningful. She told me that you can try your best, to make your life good. You can make money, do sports, read books etc. but you will not feel good asa you will not treat your soul good. Can you feel it? You know these moments when you are away on the trip, you have this schedule of things that you want to see, you walk down the street and there is this musician playing the guitar and singing. You actually love it, but for some reason you pass him, cause hey... you've got your schedule... STOP! Listen to him! Sit in front and listen. Listen.

I know I was going hard on fb from the very beginning, but I got to hit it again. Did you have this: you want to go for a coffee with someone. But who with...? Alright, lets find someone on facebook. Who did I chat with lately? (SEARCHING PROCESS IN PROGRESS). Okay, I have someone. Now lets ask: "Do you feel like to go for a coffee?". "Yes I do". "Aweoseome, see you soon". Then you are on a coffee and... you feel like this was not the best idea. Not much to talk about... Hmm getting awkward. But why, I have chosen this person from my friends' list. Exactly, on facebook you choose friends. In real life you feel your friends. Nothing happens without the reason. If the person comes to your mind it means that it actually is THE friend you wanna meet. My dear people: Do not choose. FEEL!

Now some little update of my life: It's been over a month without facebook now and it feels good. Last weeks have been a real gift. I experienced a lot with amazing people. I do not mean any sensations, just little things. They mean something again. They make me feel emotional. They make me cry again. I love to cry. And I love all the people that are able to bring these amazing moments that make me cry. I love you my good people! I mean it as much as you could not believe!

Me and my soul-treater :-)  Unfortunately she is not from here and she is going
home tomorrow, but a piece of her will stay in my heart forever!
Take care of your souls my dearest people!

Happy in-betweens!


All my dear people, after long two weeks here I am again with some new thoughts. Please go through them and give me your feedback. It means the world to me to know what you think! Alright so let's start...

There are these two movies that I truly adore. First of them is called "Lost in translation" and the second one is "Garden state". What do I love about them? They are about life as I see it. How to describe what LiT is about? I have heard some negative opinions: "A guy goes to Japan to make a commercial of some whiskey brand. He couldn't understand the people, the culture so some ridiculous stuff happened. Movie quite funny, but quite about nothing...". But I would rather say: "A guy goes to Japan to make a commerial of some whiskey brand... but this one is just the background, it doesn't matter really. He feels lost, but not because of lack of culture's understanding only, but also, or mainly because being far from home makes him realize as never before, that his life is without sense, that he goes through it without thinking about it much enough. And then he meets a girl. Much younger. The soulmate.  Everything turns around. Some new flame gets into his mind. He realizes, that he needs to change his life...". Sweet story. But can you feel it? LiT is not about being an actor, not about visiting Japan, not about partying hard, even though all these play their big parts in the movie. LiT is about all the 'in between' sort of moments, and 'in betweens', as I believe, are actually our lifes, aren't they?

Timothy Ferris in his book "4-hours work week" says that he doesn't like when people try to define him by his job. There is always this thing when you meet someone new, that he/she asks you about your work activities, like it was going to make you be this or that. And I feel like job and money was only a way to do what you actually want to do, in other words - to be the person you actually are. DO NOT LET PEOPLE DEFINE YOU BY THE WORK YOU DO! As long as this work is not something you really love.

Alright now, so what do I want my life to be about? One of the young polish fashion designers when asked about what has inspired her to create art replied: "I just enjoy doing stuff, doing things!". And that is what truely appeals to me. I want to do stuff! I wanna learn how to play the guitar, have singing lesson, learn french, eat good, travel, meet people (meet you guys, wherever you are in the world!), and experience, experience, experience. And last but as you can guess not least... I want to LOVE and BE LOVED!

I do not want anything special. I just want to be independent enough:
1) moneywise - so I can pay for what I want to have;
2) timewise - so I can rest whenever I feel like to rest.

And the most imprtant: I want to feel safe during every 'in between'. Nothing else, just safe.

Alright my dear people. In the end of this one I just wanna say that I constantly think about you! Oh and I wish you all happy 'in betweens'!

Ps. The guy in the picture is called Chris Rene. Really inspiring person. I recommend you to youtube him;)

Love.
