Thoughts a week before / Mietteitä viikkoa ennen
So, this is mainly gonna be a journal for myself, I'm not going to watch my language or censor my thoughts, and in general my way of writing is very different from Raine's. Anyone who wants to read is very welcome to though!When I first came up with the idea of travelling for more than a normal vacation I was a student and my main concern was finances. Now, even with a semi-decent salary it has to be said that money not at all is the biggest issue. But the organising! Time off from work, apartment to let out, visas, tickets, plans etc, it's no breathe... Not for anyone who isn't really up for it. Luckily, that part is almost over, and it's time for nicer things.
Since my first time in Australia and maybe even before that I've been restless. So now I'm lucky, cos I'll get to travel until I probably just can't stand it any more =) Is there a limit? Afterwards maybe I'll get the feeling of wanting to settle down for real. Meanwhile, if I can figure out what I really wanna do with my life, that would be nice =) Or, I could just opt for relaxing, taking the day as it comes, meet people and enjoy myself. The more realistic option...
At the time I am however leaving with mixed feelings. As much as I wanna go, there are things that are hard to leave. Not the Helsinki weather =), but people I will miss. But I also know we'll be off for such a short time many wont even properly notice we're gone! Also, living with my still not perfect back and not beeing able to do everything I want to and am used to is hard to accept.
Oddly, one of the things I'm looking forward to is living on a budget. Back to basics, eating cheap Chinese food and skipping lunch should be a great way to stay slim =) (she says and comes back 10 kg heavier...) Taking away a lot of the extras that surround our normal life seems strangely appealing. I'll inform you when I get over this, I'll give myself two weeks!
Not knowing what tomorrow holds is an empowering feeling, and easily addicting. I wont write again until I actually have something to say, this was the compulsory start off. Till then, take care, have fun!
