365 days

I just realized that today is the day I’ve been abroad for one year. It’s been a long year but it’s gone past quickly. hmmm… what other cliches could I come up with… The truth is that this isn’t anymore a trip or vacation or a journey with an ending. I don’t think it ever was. That if something sounds like a one big cliche but it’s the truth.

I thought that by traveling the world it would become a smaller place, a place that I could make some sense of. That didn’t happen in one year and I don’t think it’s not going to happen in 10 years either. Still, I love the challenge and I can’t come up with anything better to do so let the wondering continue.

Taking photos and occasional writings to this blog are probably the things that give me perfect excuse to keep going. In the future I’d like to concentrate more on photography. At the moment I feel that I’m not really moving on on that field. There’s no progress. The photos have started repeating themselves (content, look, form, etc.). I’m repeating myself. The problem is that I’m not feeling the photos at the moment.

All this might sound a bit pessimistic but that is not the case. An awful lot of things have happened during the last year. It’s only when I start looking back at all those things that I feel a bit bored sitting in front of my computer and trying to figure out what to do next. A change is coming, I can feel it.

Life is like a hard drive full of photos. At some point you have to start narrowing that stuff down or the whole things just gets out of hand.
Now I should know all this, but still letting go of meaningless stuff seems to be hard. I think I need more practice.

What was that? Homesick? Sure! Planning on going home? Hell no! It’s freezing back there!
