פֿאַרעפֿנטלעכט: 31.08.2017
First of all, there seems to have been some misunderstandings: I am not on my way yet. There are exactly 7 days, 13 hours, and 10 minutes until my bus departs from Frankfurt. The pre-travel reporting is only for me to process my anxiety. And of course, for all of you who want to be part of it.
Oh dear, what was I thinking with this blog title. Because I have to confess honestly that the themes or titles were already set at the beginning of the blog. Content wise, some sentences were already born, but somehow this blog got lost.
Probably this will be a somewhat sentimental blog. Something like "Achievement of my goal" and stuff like that. What is my goal anyway? Yes of course, Arco is my goal. But don't they always say that the journey is the goal. Hm? It is possible that the journey is sometimes the goal and not the goal the goal. Wow, that sounds pretty silly. But back to my goal. I think my goal is really the journey, because as already mentioned in one of my previous posts, there were different ideas for the journey. So it seems that the journey is indeed the goal. But as already explained, I am not searching for anything, neither within myself nor anywhere else. OK, I am searching for beautiful landscapes and good weather and I hope that I will constantly find it.
But what is really my goal now? Do I want to prove something to myself? That I can do it? Is that really necessary? Do you need that? Of course it feels good when people are amazed by what I am planning, but that's not why I am doing it.
Am I running away? No, not really. My family doesn't need to get their hopes up, I will come back, I am absolutely sure of that - and then I will annoy you again.
Oh man, what was the goal then? I truly believe it is the journey, the nature, the landscape, and just being without the everyday stress and with this everyday tempo. Of course, I will also need tempo and I will have it (hopefully), but I decide how fast and where to go, I don't need to discuss it with someone who has no or a completely different opinion. Aha, not a team player, one or the other might say now. Yes, maybe, could be, but sometimes you have to be on the road outside of a team to realize yourself. Oops, "REALIZING"?! Is that my goal by any chance? No idea. I simply expect a great landscape, a great time, and a great experience.
But I can't say exactly what my goal is. Probably the idea was born again because of my too fast babbling without thinking and because nobody said in time, "Better not do that!". By the way, thanks for not stopping me.
Check back tomorrow when it says 'Oh dear, only one more week!'
