What is this holiday really about? Could there be something behind of all that cooking, eating and resting? I say yes. The holiday is about spending time with your loved ones and having a moment to think how blessed we all are to have to food in our table and the people around us. While we were praying on the dinner table, I felt tears coming to my eyes. They were tears of happiness and even more, tears of gratitude. I love it here and I can’t say thank you enough to all the people who made my exchange year possible.
I have been thinking about my life lately more than usual. I’ve wondered why does life go like it does and how can we make the best out of every day. It’s not easy to leave your whole life and go to a different country to start a new life from nothing. But when you have the courage to do that, what happens next? Can you affect in your life or does it just kind of happen? In my opinion, you can definitely affect in it. It’s all about your attitude. Your decisions are the results of your attitude. Even Buddha says: ”The mind is everything; What you think, you become.”
I was talking to one of my friends the other day and he said: ”There are no good or bad things, they are all just experiences.” Exchange year is one huge experience and it is not either good or bad. It is definitely not just black and white; you have all the colors that there are. There are so many feelings, that sometimes you have never anything felt like it before. You need to take it as an experience, just like all the things that come up during the year or general in life. When you have the right attitude you will make the best out of every day. And that’s what I want.
Go on with a happy spirit
