Hear Only Memories (of) Emotions

We sometimes go places we've never been before and we instantly feel happy, fulfilled, familiar...

It could be that at first this feeling of belonging is mixed with the unpleasant feeling of being scared, afraid of the unknown.

But there's always a good side to a negative situation: it could be a familiar language [although you've never spoken it before],

or meeting new friendly people. And then, slowly but surely you start to put down roots. That's how the feeling of belonging settles in.

Harder are the moments when you have to face your own fears of moving on [although you're looking forward to it].

Because that's what we do: we sometimes leave behind the leaves we gathered from our favourite park(s),

we sometimes (maybe) apply a fresh coat of paint where we spilled coffee in a late sunny (probably) spring morning...

and sometimes we try taking with us everything we have.

That's why is of the utmost importance to just give ourselves time and just enjoy even some uncomfortable moments like getting caught up in a storm while trying to find a café with a friend, or missing the train to work, or having to run errands in minus degrees...

Because it doesn't matter how aligned the stars are, we will never be 100% content with everything around us and it takes time to see progress and make place and implement innovative ideas.

I also think it's important to ask ourselves from time to time what type of person do we want to be.

Seldom it's easier just to copy smiles, paste positive actions and literally climb a mountain and then stop and touch some flowers while climbing it down.
