A theory

The future is unknown and thus might appear to be loaded with fear and uncertainty, but on the other hand it might just be something wonderful that is waiting for you. I find that the decisions we make to secure good times ahead are sometimes clouded by fear itself which seems problematic. Someone very dear to me once said: "Schau der Furcht ins Auge und sie wird dir zuzwinkern." This translates roughly to the idea of looking fear into it's eyes and it will wink at you. I think that this is a very good example of how this uncertainty can be handled.

I am writing this post with a certain motive in mind, as I feel sick to my stomach of having people around me who I love and who don't seem to be grabbing life by the horns. I am aware that it is not everyone's choice for being and that I sometimes even fall within this category, but I find after having learned it, that it makes me happier. I do understand that it might not be the same for you.

Here a video that might clarify my point:

(Please understand that I am aware that many theories to life exist and that this one, like all the others are essentially subjective views)

Change

After many years of being torn between joining or not, I finally did it. My photographs, or rather some of them, can now be found on facebook.

This it seems is quite the step as next year will be the start of something I don't yet understand. In about a weeks time I will have completed my studies. Exciting on the one hand, but also nerve wrecking on the other. I have so many plans but at the same time non at all. I have so many ideas, but question all of them. I am confident about the future but struggle to fully believe my own thoughts. It feels like at this particular moment I just am here. 

I think a very good description of how I feel is a photograph that I took recently. I must add though that I do find it being applicable to many feelings or ideas which is relieving. I hope that others can also identify with it.
