Evaluation of my feelings and thoughts

After excactly four months and four days here in Latvia I try to calm down a bit and realize what actually happened to me and reflect the chaos inside me.

In the beginning everything was new. Starting with the new country, environment, the crazy people around me, that don’t speak my language, going on with the climate, the food and all the different traditions. It took me a long time to overcome about everything, because actually there was no time at all to think about it! Just do and enjoy! That’s what I did. And it was good, exactly in that way! I was overwhelmed by everything and felt like being in a bubble of magic. After some weeks, I realized that I will live here in Tukums for a couple of months and that I will be part of the society. It took some time to get in daily routine, because everyday something very special and new happened and still happens. But I found my position and adapted myself in my environment to be part of the puzzle.

Everything was full of positive energy and euphoria. But in the end, every nice thing has an end. And the end is very near…

So now, after four months and four days here in this magic country, I realize that I need to go back in about 11 weeks. Time is running so fast, that we are not able to catch it. I am responsible to apply to my german university until the end of July and everything is so close right now that I get goose bumps, when I think about it in a deep way. I am not afraid or scared, but I never thought that these 7 months will pass so fast. Before I started my EVS it sounded so much. But now, it’s nearly over. I am not sad or disappointed, because I enjoyed and appreciated every moment I had. And I still have a lot of plans to fulfill in this short time! I want to travel to Sweden, to Estonia, to Lithuania and to Finland! Yes, I WILL DO IT! I am so thankful for this amazing experience and I will enjoy every second which is left of this unique adventure! 🙂

 

 

We have a task on this earth. Maybe even more. But I am sure that one of them is to be happy all the time. I give my best to fulfill this task and to be a responsible human being. 🙂 For enjoying every moment we need to experience and feel it, touch it with our hands. We don’t need to think through it or worry about anything, because in the end the emotions are the ones, that judge a moment and consider if it was good or bad. Even if we are just one of a million, if we have the courage to live in the way we want to, we win! There can be a hundred of people telling you that it’s not the right direction, but the only person who can decide about it is YOU!

So, put your brain on standby for a second and live! 

And after all this, the only thing I need to do is to find my way back home! 😉

It’s not the end, it’s just a new beginning! 🙂 🙂 🙂

 

SEE YOU VERY SOON!

magic moments :)

Hello everybody! 🙂

Hope you all spent a nice weekend and enjoyed the sun like me! 😉

I spent my last days in Liepaja, in the western part of Latvia. It was a real adventure including super cool people, fire at the beach, lots of nice music, hitchhiking and a lot of more beautiful things! I came back full of energy and positive feelings. I am glad to know so nice people here in Latvia. It feels so connected and home!

I wrote a poem about my feelings on my way back to Tukums and I would like to share it with all of you. 🙂

 

Enjoy the magic in your life.

Realize every single moment.

Forget all of the strifes.

And sometimes just feel the silence.

Swim in the sea.

Feel the sand in your feet.

That’s how it should be.

And dance to that beat.

Lay in the sun.

Feel the heat.

If you want, just run.

In the middle of the street.

Laugh as much as you can.

Feel free in everything you do.

Live life without any plan.

Until the sky turns again blue.

Listen to the sound of nature.

How does it feel?

Every day you get more mature.

It’s not a big deal.

Learn how to be happy every time.

Appreciate all the small things,

Being okay is not a crime.

Get ready, and open your wings.

And if you are ready,

Just fly away.

Now matter how heavy.

You will find your way!

On Saturday there was the Europe Day in Liepaja. You could find lots of special things in the centre of the city. It was very intercultural and I watched some international dances and singings from Ukraine, Russia or even German Folksongs. It was interesting to see all of them performing at the same place, there was a very strong connection between the different cultures and I could really feel it.

I am so happy to experience every day a bit more of Latvia. Every time it’s so special to travel to another city and put my footprint there. I realized that it’s just about the people who are with you. You can feel home everywhere, as long as you have a good connection to  the others. More and more I get on contact with the beautiful nature of this country. Summer is coming very fast, everything is turning green and starts to bloom. I feel like a child climbing the trees and laying in the grass or at the beach. But I am satisfied and happy afterwards.

Aaaaand today I went with Leo to the lake Melnezers to grap some fresh water from a natural source next to the lake. It’s so good! And during the time in the forest I was inspired by the beauty of the nature, so I decided to take some things home and make my own little forest. Here is the result and some other photos:

So now lean back and listen to this great music, which is following me for years now!

Just appreciate the nature and everything which is given for free in this beautiful world! 🙂

what is going on in my mind…

Hello everybody!

I am back with some nice stories.

First I want to talk about our Mid-Term-Training, which was from the 24th to 26th of May in Villa Dole. It was very helpful and we got lots of information about everything which is useful to know. For me it was very interesting to learn about other projects and of course to meet again new volunteers from everywhere. It’s so special how connected everything can be and I am very thankful for this! We also evaluated our feelings during our time in Latvia and how we solved some problems, if there were some, which was so helpful and nice. We got to know each other even better with the help of this activity.

After this meeting I am so confused, because there are just two months and some days left. It’s nearly over! Crazy that time is running so fast! I want to enjoy every second, explore as much as possible and be thankful for every moment I had and will have in this beautiful country!

 

 

And now I want to present a beautiful poem to you, which perfectly expresses my feeling right now. The weather changed so fast and I really can’t believe how it happened. The sun is up, the sky is blue and we can wear summer clothes and take care of our skin, that we will not burn. 😉 I was waiting for this so long and finally it’s there. So, whatever you want to have or reach, believe in it and it will come to you. No matter what! You just need to be patient.

Wind On The Hill

No one can tell me,
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn’t keep up with it,
Not if I ran.But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
For a day and a night.And then when I found it,
Wherever it blew,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes…
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.

I hope everybody of you is fine and enjoys the summer, which is coming very fast now! My mind is open to reach my aims. So, if you are interested in good music, just click the link below and enjoy the beautiful sound of Damien Marley and Nas, which makes me feel so good and confident.

 

 

Soooooo, I wish all of you a happy summer time with lovely moments full of joy!

Tonight, after work, I will go to the lake called Melnezers with Leo for swimming. Unbelievable – But true! 😉 I am so happy and thankful for everything. 🙂

See you very soon! 🙂
