Mood for change

25 septembre 2013

This is the blog for change.And while there are changes there are imperfections, so that's why this post is short (or long depending on how you see it) and not really the manifesto I expected to write. 

I just hope I'll be able to put my life in writing, photos, and videos. For that, I do need the appeal of a readership, unable to will and do them (the words, the photographs) just for myself. You're my motivation, readers, whether I know you or not. 

My secondary motivation is the possibility to some day print out the blog, in a year's time maybe? and see what's been experienced, attempted and hopefully accomplished. 

Blogs have been an inspiration, but also big time wasters. I figure, if I'm the one writing, I'll inspire myself and nourish myself instead of this state of life-anorexia, where I look at others' adventures without going on my own as often as I could. 

And adventures I know. I faced some of the fears and highs of the first world adventurers. Indeed my dear, you guessed well : 
  • I lived abroad, without a plan! 
  • I left my university without getting a job and had to rely on the kindness of strangers (well, I knew him and we lived together, sooooo, he wasn't that much of a stranger after all).  
  • I then ended a relationship in my mid twenties although the hormones started kicking in and that I wanted to have a baby and a house and a marriage. 
  • Instead I ditched all that and went back to live to my parents. 
  • I pursued education while working. 
  • I finally reached the Holy Grail of a stable job (almost a dream job) when I got my teachers' qualification (if you know what it entails in France you look at me in awe). 
  • And now, now, there's the existential crisis pre-30th, well, 29th birthday (the worst innit?!). So my all body is under scrutiny, my relationship too, my spirituality is trying to take over my cartesian mind.
  • Moreover : I'm discovering I'm not that special, without any great skills mastered. Not even eating food with my feet. Which was on my "25 before 25" list, and has never been crossed. I don't even know how to use the fancy coffee maker in the kitchen ! 

So you see, it was time to take action. Starting a blog is one. Let's see the others.
