I guess I needed a little break from writing and as I have always thought, one should not write if one is not up for it. This doesn’t only apply to my blog, but I can also see this principle sometimes too well in action when it comes down to writing my thesis…
Anyways, I’ve done some soul-searching and put bits and pieces together. I’ve found a new interest in working out and I’ve payed close attention to my nutrition. Although I’ve heard a few voices of doubt from people as to why I’m doing this and as to why I shouldn’t do this and that, I’m sticking with my routine, because it makes me feel good about myself and I can see myself improving. It’s so awarding to see that you can run more each week, or that you can lift heavier weights or when you discover new tactics at badminton. And besides, I know my body and my mind, and as long as I’m enjoying myself, I do what I do. And no counter-arguments what-so-ever. There.
Otherwise life has been busy. I sometimes feel exhausted from all the things I’m doing, but on the other hand, it’s a good kind of exhaustion. Life feels vibrant, exciting, and good. I’ve got a few gigs coming up, one at a club and the other with a symphony orchestra, so I’ve got it going good. The spring is approaching and besides work, working on the thesis, and working out, I have family and friends, and someone to occasionally cuddle with. Not complaining at all.
Next week I fly to London for a few days with friends and in August I’m most likely off to Washington D.C. for an internship at the Finnish Embassy… life is exciting!
I feel like within the last few months, I’ve looked at life from many sides, from up and down and right and left. I feel like I’ve learned a lot, and gained even more. I feel like I’m actually starting to know life a bit. And that’s a good way to start the spring!
