Wo ist das Meer?

For the story: this song is the reason why my blog has its name. This blog will be 7 years this summer. Times flies, huh? I created it on my way to the airport to fly to Copenhagen and begin a life in Sweden. I never thought by then that i would keep it so long and not either that i still would live in Sweden now. I did not know much, but one thing was important: i was not afraid, as if nothing would destruct me. This way not to see dangers or scary things took me a way longer as if i thought of all the troubles i would meet, like health insurance to pay (lots of money when you did not had the time to save), a new and strange langage to learn (long minutes when the only answer you get is an empty look), a job to find (thanks my first swedish boss to have understood that there was something in me), people to meet and get to learn (so hard to break this look-a-frenchie-compassion for a real realtionship), a culture that is so far from the one i come from to discover (silence was an unexisting word to me until 2006, year when i really got into the swedish society). This has not been funny every day. I felt alone a couple of times, either because i just did something idiotical or because i really was alone, far from people who could support me.

I also got a lots of help on my way here and still do. It seems that the more you give, the more you get. Sometimes from people i hadn’t think of that way and sometimes because i got me some real friends here, in Sweden. I don’t believe in loan, but in a first step you have to make in order to get something back. I sincerely wish that i earnt all this help.

And if by mistake someone who is asking her/himself if she/he should make a move, i just say that: don’t be afraid! With a little help and determination, you can climb mountains! So come on!
Live now and fulfil your dreams!
