While I sit here, on my bed full of papers, with an exam that's waiting for me tomorrow, I can't get rid of this need for fresh air, for travelling, for discovering something new and exciting. To silence that need for travelling even just a bit, I took my laptop to write you a new blogpost that's not gonna be that long, but is very important to me. It was 3 years ago, when I was in highschool, when we went on a trip to a beautiful city of Prague. I remember the day I was sitting with my girls on the terace of our beloved caffe and writing down a list of things we were gonna take to our trip. Looking back at these pictures, I realized that, before, I wasn't enjoying trips to the fullest. You wonder what do I mean when I say to the fullest? I did't Think of it as a great opportunity to be somewhere other that at my home, the way I look at it now. I didn't appreciate what was surrounding me that much before, but I walked through unknown streets, and pass people whose life stories I don't know, not taking in every detail and every smell of the surroundings that were right in front of me. Now, don't get me wrong, it was a really beautiful trip with wonderful people whit whom I lived some of the most fun days of my life. But, I would still like to go back in time and relive that city and all of the feelings, with the same amount of fun we had only this time with some new pair of eyes. I wouldn't change a thing about this trip, except myself. Well, dear sixteenyearold me, start noticing things around you more and take in every moment that's handed to you as if it was the last thing you'll do. But, we as humans tend to go thorugh life looking down, letting it pass us by, leaving us beahind without even looking back. It is on us to take life by the hand and walk along with it.
