I am too busy, putting my face in my cats hair, getting all love i can get from them before i leave. Busy taking care of my boyfriend, trying to spend as much time as i can with him before friday. Busy trying to forget that i have to leave, busy trying to not forget anything, busy trying to stay calm but in fact i just cant stay calm, this is not me.<\/p>\n<p>4 days ago i still didn&#8217;t knew that i would leave, my head still have to get used to it. More than 2 weeks away from my daily life, away from the balance i found in the last 5 months. I didn&#8217;t plan anything, but now its there. I hav&#8217;nt work from 9 to 5 for the last 5 months, but i need to rest. No, i didn&#8217;t &#8220;worked&#8221; that much, but my body needs to rest. <\/p>\n<p>Many things happened in those 5 months. I left my &#8220;old&#8221; life. I slowly got back on my feet, started the best (but not the simpler) work that i ever did, what we could call &#8220;a life&#8217;s real work&#8221;. Yeah, the &#8220;real&#8221; work. The one which makes your brain and heart goes on, trying to find answers to many questions.<\/p>\n<p>I quitted the fulltime job, started to draw again, started to read lots of &#8220;self exploration&#8221; stuff, wrote a lot, thought a lot, started to paint again, started to be creative again, in my work and in my life. I stopped and looked at myself. This is not easy work, but the one which fulfills oneself.<\/p>\n<p>In the last 5 months, i found something new, or better, i found someone i missed.<br \/>\nI hope i wont loose touch with this person as i will leave hamburg friday&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I don&#8217;t have time. no time to write.
