The End
2005-01-08 01:59 GMT
New years eve. This year it will definetly be an end of era for me. I don't think that there is any reason for changing year at this particular date. I guess it's just a custom to celebrate at this time of year. But once again there is a big change ahead of me. Tomorrow we will be leaving Noosa. When we first started travelling, our original plan was to head north until it's warm enough and then settle down for few months. It took longer than expected to come up here and since we arrived we haven't found an appartment, so now it's time to move on. Although we didn't find a place to stay, I found a home and a family here. Hanging out at the Halse Lodge quickly introduced us to several intresting and friendly people. I wish to thank everyone I met here, you made every moment worth staying here. If I'll ever return here, it won't be the same, because probably no one of my friends will be around here anymore. I wish good travels for all of you and I hope to keep in touch!
I got a message from one of my friends today. She told me that this year has brought her many changes and now that she is looking back to it all, she wouldn't change a thing. I belive that everyone saying so is lying to himself. It's just something that we are teached to say. It has something to do with the belief that you can learn from every bad experiences. Back when things were not going so hot for me my friend Panzerfaust, who was cheering me up, told me that not all the bad things teach you anything. I belive he was right. Some of the things just make you feel bad and scar you. Most of the times you come out much stronger, but sometimes the bad things just make you angry, sad and bitter. But still, you'll have to go on. Always look on the bright sides of life. With a little luck, there are tons of good things heading your way.
There are loads of things that are beyond our control, but they are not the issue, because they are things that you couldn't have changed even if you wanted. But then there are the mistakes you have made yourself. If I look back my year, I probably wouldn't change most of the things I've made, but there are some decisions and actions I'd change if it would be possible. But the situation I have ended up is really good and possibilities seem limitless. Tonight I'm going to celebrate what I had here at Noosa Heads and tomorrow I have no idea what wonders life will bring in front of me. Well, I'd guess I'll have a terrible hangover and my back is probably going to hurt from the limbo contest (which I have no chance of winning cause I'm 6'3", but I'll do good cause I have a really flexible back. I hope it attracts birds ;). It will be a blast hanging out with these guys for one more night.
Happy new year everyone. Take care.
(oh yeah, I finally have started to answer the hordes of e-mail I get. (well, ok, all three of them...). It's nice to hear from you all so keep writing, 'cause I know you are there!)
