Making some space

Oi folks, it's been a while since the last post and obviously this has got largely to do with the lack of motivation or as some postmodern shrinks would rather call it "a writer's block"...through which all the writers are deemed to pass sooner or later. Hopefully it jogged on pretty fast and here I am again in front of this whole blast of sentences and endless storm of words that keep struggling in my mind for dominance. This year started off with an utterly good vibe which actually helped me a lot to sort out a few issues I had to deal with for ages in the past but hopefully it all came to an end. In one of my very first posts, I was explaining my passion for Swedish trains and public transport (just a quick reminder: because they are crazily clean, they always come on time, the wireless is always at its best, and all that jazz I don't feel like insisting on at the moment)...essentially because I love bragging about going places and the stuff I do when abroad.(well not ALL the activities I engage in whilst on a trip but some of them haha). So, I believe ditching stuff was key in this whole process in restoring the nearly forgotten well being. So yeah, I started to bin things I did not seem to need anymore including stuff I haven't worn in ages, people that kept coming in and out of my life because as you all know, it is the case that people do grow apart quite often and there is little you can do in that regard. You win some, you lose some after all. Everything looks a lot more spacious, wider and certainly cleaner. I do love this feeling of filling in the gaps that may render one FREE. I have also given up on certain beliefs and creeds I have embraced long time ago and I have become a very career focused man who clearly I was not back in the days say three or four years ago give or take. I reckon at this stage in my life I am far less spiritual than I used to be, way more upfront and more pragmatic. Places do change people. People do change places themselves. I do believe in change and whoever wishes to do so will also want to bear in mind that one simply cannot change something or someone expecting to gain something out of it unless you (perhaps learn how to) deal efficiently with your own expectations so if you are keeping them low, you may expect the lowest of the low. Though if you decide to aim high, you will need to work harder and live up to your own goal. The idea of brand new space and its vastness are definitely overwhelming. I am guessing this year I will need to find suitable things to fill in all the gaps in my life but there is a long journey ahead. Today for instance I will buy myself a new suit and some extra shirts mainly because there is still a fair deal of extra space in my wardrobe and also because I love long-term investments. Because there are some men in this world who surprisingly enough never seem to have enough shirts or suits. That is most definitely one of the core benefits of being less spiritual. I guess. *I do also hope this post did not sound too philosophical because if it did, then I would need to apologise as this was none of my intention when I started writing it.
