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.
