Yesterday was a nice evening. Beach, pizza, sunset & Avinka.

Today I bumped into a worried girl from Costa Rica in the airport, we found out she had missed her flight so she was sad and confused and didn’t know what to do. After quitting work I helped her to get her act together. We got information about what had happened, called her friends and got her luggage back, she already had a place to stay so I just left her my card, gave her a hug and told her to call me in case she would need me. An hour ago she called. I booked her a new ticket for tomorrow and she will call me from the airport to let me know if she’s okay or if she needs me to come there.

I’ve met truly amazing people on my travels who have let me crash at their places without knowing me, helped me out in various ways and just been utterly nice without asking for anything in return. I have collected a big karma-account that I want to balance out with the world and I really enjoy passing it on to strangers. People need help a lot more than we usually care about noticing, and most of them are afraid to ask. Sometimes it’s showing them the way somewhere or let them use your phone, sometimes they just need a smile from a stranger or one of those cookies you’re eating.

No matter what it was all about, these nice little encounters usually end with a “how can I thank you?”-moment and that’s when I usually go all hollywood-cheesy saying “if you see somebody who needs help, help them!”. haha

I don’t know if it actually works for spreading kindness and smiles, but if it does, it rocks.

“You need somebody who will tell you that your ambitions are too high and take you down to earth, show you what life is really about and make you realize that you probably will be dissapointed if you continue dreaming the way you do and believe that you can move mountains.”

 Wrong.

As long as I have a clear perception of reality, there’s no such thing as dreaming to much. I know my strenghts and weaknesses, I know what I am capable of, I know that there are no impossibilities if I make up my mind on completing a task and so far I’ve done all the weird things I’ve said I’d do, no matter what others have said or thought about it.

I refuse to align to normality, thinking what needs to be thought, doing what needs to be done and living the way other people tell me to live. I refuse to forget my dreams and I wont be content with what I have and where I am. Being content means choosing not to grow, learn and evolve, it means stopping wherever you are because it’s easier that way.

Stopping is not my cup of tea, what I need are more experiences and I’m really looking forward to them.
