Life at GTZ

Life goes so quickly, I cannot even believe that....it seems that it just had been yesterday that I moved to Sweden, jumped on the plane to Africa, and entered the ferry to come back home...and where am I know? In Frankfurt, working (as an intern) for the GTZ in the poverty reduction programme....hell yeah, life goes quickly.
And today I feel inspired by Chels, the loveliest Canadian I have ever met, who put such wise words on her blog I won't even try to compete with....but it made me think about things and I figured that I feel extremely blessed....no, not blessed in a religious way, blessed in a more general way.
I was thinking about the past 6 years, the things I have learned, the places I have seen, the people I have met, my family who has been with me all the time, my friends who were saying good bye and received me with open arms later on...these are the things making me feel blessed.
Sometimes I feel tired, would like to know where it's gonna end...but in the next moment I feel how right it is to go again and how much I love the life I have and how much I wait to finally start working in what I am interested in... but then again, things worry me, not so much my own life, since I got the control over that. Or at least I try and pretend to. No, it is more the life of others, of friends, strangers, and maybe the life of humans I worry about, and sometimes people eventually might even scare me...not my friends and family of course....no, I just want that my friends and family are just as ok as I am.....scarying are people in general.... reading the newspaper or listening to the news on tv is not nice at all, it makes you sad, desperate, incredibly angry and sometimes it is making me freeze and I am turning into a pillar of salt not knowing if there will be ever anything we can against the sick behaviour of human beings. But then again, I go and read ideas from smart people who never lost their trust in mankind and I have dinner with my family or wine with my friends or both with both of them and it makes me feeling good again and I know that it is worth to try....and so it goes, up and down and up and down and up and down and always up again...
Ok, sorry guys for this weird piece of work, but I am more than overtired, but indeed very happy with my life (at least until tomorrow when something will hit me again...)...

Miss you all (saying good bye IS the worst part of leaving) and wouldn't know what to do without you....

Sleep well and always take care!

All these up and downs throughout this game we call life is exactly why GOOD ROOMMATES are a necessary requirement...
