Left behind, yes, that happens everyday and every moment of your life.

I heard once: “choosing is loosing“. What a strange feeling that is, but it is true.

From the moment you choose to eat that delicious Ben & Jerry’s Fudge Brownie ice cream you’ve already chosen not to have your granola bar, or your gluten-free artisan home-made overpriced “next-door” yogurt. 🙂

However the interesting part of this is that, “without thinking”, we do this every day and every moment, unscrupulous. And this is how we create the cascade of causes and consequences of the day to day living.

If one day it is hard for you to choose a simple coffee at Starbucks; or which type of flavor you want with your hot-wings, you need to start thinking that something might be wrong with your priorities and/or with your power of decision making. Yes! Leave behind the stupid “gluten-free” shit and take some real tacos (and have a beer as well).

If tacos were first in your mind, and you’re drooling for it… go for it, might make you happy, and you need that (happiness) in your life. I’m not going to dig in to the food or mental disorders of course, so, just have some balance in your life. And if you don’t make a choice, someone will do it for you.

Left behind…

It has been a slightly over a year since I’ve started this blog/storytelling project, and so many things have change since then. Mostly everything 😀 .

I moved to a different country, again. Have no girlfriend, again. Need to adapt to a different culture, again. Different friends, different language, different food, different location… you get the point. But the interesting part of all this is that I chose it. And it is even more interesting because I chose it in my mind, before I saw the opportunity coming.

So, 2016, left behind. Not everything has been perfect, but it was a great year. 2015 was an amazing year in Transylvania as well. And I was not aware, or I even dared to imagine in my craziest dreams what was coming in 2016. Monkey year, left behind. What a roller coaster of emotions and events that happened that year. It only took me some seconds or even less to choose to be where I am now.
And now, 2017, the year of the Rooster, I choose to have a wonderful year.

Will keep up with what has started many many years ago: Make the present glow bright and colorful while in the back of my head something even brighter is machining.

What is coming.

On a sad note, 2017 started with the departure of my beloved Queen, Matilda.

Nevertheless, she had a long and great life…. and It makes me happy to know that she was loved by family. Then again I remember I chose to have her in my life some 17 years ago. And she chose to be part of the family for that time.

Then… I just must let go and open my heart and mind to what is coming.

Once I said: “we don’t know what is going to happen… but we like it”
Just leave the past behind, and start making choices. 🙂

Your Friend, The Foreigner.
