Month: December 2019

So we bought the tickets. Now it feels like it’s actually happening. We’ve been talking about doing this for more than a year and a half and for all this time we’ve spoken about it as something that has been decided, no as something that we would like to do some day or wish to do but don’t see how it would be possible. No! we always spoke about it like something that was final, something that was happening no matter what.

But, besides talking about it, and buying some clothing or small things thinking on the trip, we had not really taken any action. The things that we bought were things we would buy anyway even if we were not going on the trip, it’s just we bought a different model or better quality thinking of the future usage we would give it.

Now, actually spending hundreds of euros to pay for the tickets, choosing a date for flying, it really makes it feel like it’s something way more present and real. Now we don’t have to say a general date like “January” or “The beginning of next year”, no! Now we can say “The 21st of January!” having this set date helps manifest it and set it in reality. And after having the date set, now we can go ahead of book an AirBnB for the first days we will be there. One thing connects to the other and more things start happening, the ball starts rolling.

Being in the final days of my job as a front end developer, I find my patience with problems short and my frustrations while debugging bigger. Im not sure if it’s always been like this and I’ve been putting up with it while not really giving it the importance that it warrants. Or maybe it is a new thing that is happening now only because I know that in a few days more I will not have to do any more coding and now that I know this I just don’t want any more if it. I’m not really sure which of the two options is the real one but in the end it doesn’t really matter, the effect is the same and changes are being made, decisions being taken.

So many times in our life we don’t see what is really important to us because other things are occupying our mind. Take a moment to slow down, look at your day/life from a different perspective and feel into what you are really doing.
