Honestly, what right do I have to be so dispassionate?

None. I have everything: food, shelter, freedom, a warm bed, education, friends and family who love me. The world can be a really shitty place, but that’s all the more reason to appreciate how really, really lucky I am.

I have to do something. I’m really not enjoying much in my life these days. Sometimes I get depressed about the state of things – it’s hard not to – but it’s more than that. There are plenty of things to be glad for, like the fact that starting in september I have 5 months to travel wherever I want in Europe.

Spain! Italy! Greece! It’s a dream. And yet, you’d think I was talking about spinach for all my passion. What’s wrong with me?

I have to find some inspiration. What I’ve done so far is order books. They have this great website in denmark, where you can order books from any library in the country. So, I’ve managed to find travel guides for the places I want to go most, and when they come I’m going to sit in the sun, sip ice, and get really inspired about all the places I’m going to see. voila!
