Spring is here and dreams come alive!


For a while I've been thinking I should be more effective when it comes to this Blog. But sometimes life has other plans, and lately I've been "busy" doing more "important" stuff... Or so I thought. Almost 2 months have passed and nothing has really changed. I'm back where I started earlier in february and finally starting to understand, that the plans I thought were important, were instead just a disillusion. So back to square 1 and feeling good that I am...

Finally spring has arrived to my city and all the worries of the winter are bygones... Summer is just around the corner, or so it feels and I'm already dreaming of the warm summer breeze and bright nights. When summer arrives in Sweden, it usually rains most of the time... But even though we have a wonderful wheather when it's good, many of us choose to travel abroad anyway, to the sun and the good and carefree life that awaits...

It is indeed wonderful to be able to travel and see the world. Some of us are fortunated and can travel to a new place every year or even to several places in one year... Some of us travel every second year or less... and some never or seldom get the chance to get away at all...
And if they do, it is because you been saving all you can for a longer period of time...

Meanwhile your saving, it can be a good idea to try to enjoy and use what you already got at home... And yes it can be a real pain when all you want is to make that special trip but instead you're stuck at home... In that town and in those streets you already seen so many times and gotten sick and tired of so so many times... But those who wait... always get rewarded in the end.

Why I'm saying this, is because this is exactly where I am at the moment... Stuck and sick and tired of it. All I want is to jump on the plane (any plane really) and fly somewhere where it's warm and life has a much slover pace... But that's not how it's gonna be for a while, so now all there is, is to enjoy what I've got instead of wanting what I can't get.

So again, spring is here and it doesn't have to be so bad after all... There are so many great things in life to take part in, if you only open your eyes and mind. And even for someone like me... with zero patience there is hope... I've decided to make the most of it until I've saved enough and carefully made a good plan that will last, and not leave me broke somewhere far far away from home. When you get older, you also get wiser. And you learn from old mistakes... Hopefully!
Once a Vagabond, always a Vagabond... I will most certainly never stop traveling or dreaming of it, and until my next adventure there's not much to do than accept things as they are.

So who ever sees this and feels the way I do, don't give up your dream! We will get there one day... It might feel like it's never gonna happen, but it will! So enjoy springtime and keep on dreaming!

Good you're not giving up on your dream, and I'm not giving up mine, despite right now, it really feels like a lost hope.
