This post was initially going to be about how Europe has opened my eyes and made me more chill, but after sitting on it I had a few revelations on that point. My trip taught me that the world will spin, for a very long time, this is where the new attitude comes from, but it also taught me other things as well, however lame they may be. It taught me that fashion goes hand in hand with self confidence. If I think I look good, then I get a few compliments and I know I look good, and then I feel good. It re-taught me that the world is bigger than my world, and that there are problems of all levels: global, international, national, provincial, municipal, and my own; and my own come at the bottom of that list. It taught me that people are people, I may not like them, they may not work for me, but there is nothing I can do about it. I need to do things with the prior knowledge that it is the best for me, and then have no regrets.
These are a few things I learnt, but the one most important thing I learnt is how easy it is to slip into the thirst for power. The same feeling from after summer break freedom going to school, except amplified. When I was in France I was free and responsible. Free of people limiting me too much and responsible for myself and my friends. The opportunity is immensely hard to describe, but not as hard as what followed. Upon my return I couldn't stand for people telling me to do things. For 10 days I lived where I was responsible for telling myself what to do, coming back and being ordered around stirred up unknown and unforeseen anger.
But now I have gotten used to it again, analysed this from it and fine tuned my relaxed feel.
To innovate life one must not fear mistakes, there is nothing to fear if you gain knowledge from it.
Keep innovating,
