Upon The Edge Of A Knife

I've decided to let this be the last entry I post on this blog,  as I don't really have a very exciting life in general; and the journey I had to discover myself is mostly over now. It hasn't been even a month since I arrived here in Arendal, yet it feels as if I never left. Old things remain the same, new things keep on surprising like they always have. As I've been away, changing so much, home is still exactly the same. It's safe.

Today is the day before my new adventure; interrail. I'm sure I've explained to everyone I know already, but interrail is backpacking in Europe by train. I'll be away for 22 days, and I'll see most of Europe. From Paris to Venice, from West to East, and so on. I'll be doing this with my two best friends, Elias and Jim. I couldn't have chosen a better team than us for this.

As a finishing paragraph I'd like to talk about my mind, however cheesy that might sound. One of the things I've noticed as I'm growing up is that all you need to do to have a more calm and happy mind, is to think. Or more meditate, if you'd like. Whenever something is wrong in my life (and someone to punch is out of reach) I sit down in a quiet environment and think. Let go of past, present and future, and focus my mind on life or other things. Within minutes I feel myself being lifted. It's such a great way to get to know yourself, and just taking a time out. Furthermore, it's been a joy writing here when I've had the time.
