Reflection

After about a month in beautiful Australia we are back in good old New Zealand. Sydney was a lot better than expected, so was Melbourne. Meeting old/new friends was awesome. Thank you everyone over there. We have had a blast.

We arrived here in Christchurch on June 21st at around two in the morning. That was the longest night over here and the shortest on the other side of the equator. Isn‘t that something. It is kinda like the same with the glass is half-full or the glass is half-empty thing, it is the perspective that we have on things that makes the difference. Wow that was »d.a.m!« (deep and meaningful).

Well anyways today is my 31st Birthday. I am writing this to you not to make you feel guilty in case you might have forgotten to wish me a happy birthday, no, no, I am mainly writing this to myself, because I can hardly belief that I am already that old or young – whatever ones perspective is on that. I hear people say: »I don’t feel this or that age…!«, and I am thinking, how do they know? Have they been there before, have they been reincarnated or something? I don’t know whether I should feel 31, I just know by using my poor knowledge of algebra, that I am 31 today, that is a fact that my calculator backs up as well. I know it all comes down to the perspective on things and comparison with others. People stand up to your age face the fact, it is a good thing! That is enough for today… see you around!
