My pursuit of happiness

Rollercoaster



I am now in the middle of an emotional rollercoaster, and I don't even know why. This has been a weird day.

As my last day in Norway for a while, I have made a list of everything I need to do and fix before I leave tomorrow morning, and I still have only crossed out two of the things. Pretty sad. Inspiration, where art thou?

Trying to get enough inspiration to write the article for the local newspaper, I haev stupidly been wasting my time on the internet. I found this song I listened to when I was in Italy, and suddenly I turned into an emotional wreck. I just wanted to cry and be there under the yellow sun and the olive trees. I really miss that country now, I found out.

Then I had a happy boost, because I realised how many amazing people I know. It's insane. The coolest people all over the world. I have more and better friends than I possibly can deserve. That thought made me want to cry again - from happiness. My life is pretty good. Far above average.

The question now is: Will I get my stuff fixed for my trip tomorrow?
I have fixed the most important thing now, at least; food. haha. Spent ages preparing some very interesting bread-with-different-things-inside. It has a pretty scary appearance, but I know it will be good.

I hate packing. I don't know what to pack in, how much to bring, what to bring. I don't want to take too much. Buit then again it is better to be prepared. And it's still winter, so I should need some warm clothes too, and that takes more space. Dilemma. That's why I keep postponing it, and just waste these precious hours doing nothing. Hah, I've always been smart.

I had decided to finish that darn article today. Then I found out that I might as well do it tomorrow in the airport, because I have to wait three hours in Karmøy before my plane to Oslo and then Billund, Denmark.
How it will be nice to see the flat, green Danish landscape again, and meet the people I haven't seen for so long. I haven't been to Denmark for more than two years. Terrifying thought. I used to go twice a year earlier.

Well, while I long for Italy and my amore bello, I should get up and do something. Yes, I'll go check out possible bags/suitcases now.
Denmark tomorrow.
Germany in March.
Holland after that.

Okay, I won't complain:)
Ladidee ladidah!





E da qui - Nek

Gli amici di sempre
Gli abbracci più lunghi
la musica, i libri, aprire i regali
i viaggi lontani che fanno sognare
i film che ti restano impressi nel cuore
gli sguardi e quell’attimo prima di un bacio
le stelle cadenti il profumo del vento
la vita rimane la cosa più bella che ho..

Una stretta di mano
tuo figlio che ride
la pioggia d’agosto
e il rumore del mare
un bicchiere di vino insieme a tuo padre
aiutare qualcuno a sentirsi migliore
e poi fare l’amore sotto la luna
guardarsi e rifarlo piu forte di prima
la vita rimane la cosa piu bella che ho

E’ DA QUI

non c’è niente di piu naturale che
fermarsi un momento a pensare
che le piccole cose son quelle più vere
e restano dentro di te
e ti fanno sentire il calore
ed è quella la sola ragione
per guardare in avanti e capire
che in fondo ti dicono quel che sei

è bello sognare di vivere meglio
è giusto tentare di farlo sul serio
per non consumare nemmeno un secondo
e sentire che anche io sono parte del mondo
e con questa canzone dico quello che da sempre so
che la vita rimane la cosa più bella che ho

E’ DA QUI

non c’è niente di più naturale che fermarsi
un momento a pensare che le piccole cose
son quelle piu vere le vivi le senti e tu
ogni giorno ti renderai conto che sei vivo
a dispetto del tempo
quelle cose che hai dentro le avrai al tuo fianco
e non le abbandoni più
e non le abbandoni più
dicono chi sei tu
