I had an odd start in this new year. I started the year with the feeling of needed change, in myself. I decided to change priorities, and switch from the naive school/university girl. I played the role for a while, maybe a bit too long and I'm starting to feel lame. I'm like the guy in those US university movies that never manages to graduate and goes with every generation through the same stupid pranks.
I had a look back at my 2009 resolution list and realized that I am so good at lying, I can actually fool myself. I have no resolution list for this year, except for managing to finish my master program. I have no wishes and no hopes, because having them would make me narrow...I prefer to walk on a wide path this year. There are some things that I know for sure will continue, and those things are related to traveling. I will be out there this year again, switching planes and looking through airport windows. These planes guided in these past 2 years my destiny and showed me that there are no limits to anything. If I can make it, if it happens to me...I believe it exists...destiny, luck, serendipity, whatever you want to name it.
My 2009:
- managed to work for three months by waking up at 5 in the morning and riding my bike, in order to sustain my studies
- managed to get to the thesis part of my master program, not with great grades, but with a beautiful life experience
- lived in Madrid for 3 months, ate the best food, drank the best "cervesa con limon" and most of all, met and lived with the best people in the world
- saw the wonders of Gaudi
- proved to myself that I can very well work for the state system as well, but would rather leave it as a last resort
- got hired by the International Executive Search Federation, in the conditions I asked - and so I have the best job a 23 year old would wish for, working with real professionals
- realized that my parents were right when I was little: there is no such thing as best friends, everybody has their own interest, the only people that will never judge or ask for anything are your parents!!!
- did the craziest thing in my life
I have no regrets, I'm just carefully paving my way to Hell.
Cheers to new perspectives!
