For most summer is a time of not working, relaxing, chilling, reading, lying on the beach (sorry for those who are currently not, but for sure you have in the past and will in the future if you have not). Heat is up, everything is slow and low… Lots of time to think, rethink, sum up, plan etc. But the path is all continuing.
I read the other day that one should not compare to others but rather to oneself. How were things for you, in you and around you and how are they now? Better or worse, one can think. But take a moment to check for experiences accumulated. What have you gone through? How much have you grown? How you act and react? The difference is there, whether you acknowledge it or not, whether you are aware or not.
Sometimes we think we are so stuck, and haven’t moved a bit, I think it is just the feeling of stuckness that stays, but for sure we are stuck in different concerns and issues.
Filling up the concrete part of the gap from the last blog:
I have been to the island of Brač, my birthplace, spent some time at “home” as well as at a community house in the middle of the forest, sleeping in the open air, staring at the stars between the trees. Also, Korčula, a beautiful place, so old and full of life and stories. I was working there at a stand, selling hand-made croatian products for a friend. Many adventures, many people and lotsa fun and games. Currently I am in Podgora, chilling with friends and working a bit. I have a month and ten days before moving to Zadar, so I guess I will keep moving around while I still have time for it. A bit of Zagreb, a wedding in Slavonija, job hunting in Split etc. Now more than a year I have been going around, having no real station and I am looking forward to having a place to stay, a kitchen to cook in, a permanent task to perform, a future to plan a bit more in detail, with open space to create whatever creation wishes for me.

Stay tuned for the next chapter and enjoy your summer, wherever it might be. Get the head out of the sand, smell the air, hug a tree and love the life breeze…
