34
It's that time of the year when the days are getting shorter and colder and
nostalgia kicks in. The days when I'm reminded of how things used to be and how
I felt few years ago. Yesterday I got an email from a girl I don't know. Her
name is Amelia. She sent me 32 questions so I can met my inner self. It was
really strange because she didn't want me to send her the answers, she didn't
ask for a promo on my blog or something similar, she just wrote ''...it's gonna
be a good way for you to connect with your inner self, get inspired and maybe
get some new ideas.'' Everything I had on my agenda that morning was set aside
when I read the questions. She really got to me so I poured myself a coup of
coffee and got into answering them. On some of them I already knew answers
because I think about stuff like that a lot, but some just came to me as a
shock. ''Would you like a friend like yourself?'' I don't know, I really really
don't know. Just like I don't know the answer to the ''If you didn't knew your
age, how much would you give yourself?'' I don't know... But all 32 of them
were actually one question so all the answers were just one. I'm not gonna post
all my answers, but I'm gonna sum up everything I've leaned about myself and
life in few simple sentences. Thank you Amelia for making me ask myself the
right type of questions. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ono je vrijeme u
godini kada dani postaju kraći i hladniji a nostalgija nastupi. Dani kada sam
podsjećena na to kako su stvari bile prije i kako sam se osjećala prije par
godina. Jučer sam dobila email od cure koju ne znam. Njezino je ime Amelia.
Poslala mi je 32 pitanja kako bi upoznala svoje unutarnje ja. Bilo je to zaista
čudno jer nije od mene tražila da joj pošaljem odgovore, nije tražila promo na
mom blogu ili nešto slično, samo je napisala ''… to će biti dobar način za tebe
da se povežeš sa svojim unutarnjim ja, da se inspiriraš i možda dobiješ neke
nove ideje.'' Sve što sam imala na svom planu to jutro sa maknula sa strane
kada sam pročitala pitanja. Zaista me uhvatila, pa sam si nalila šalicu kave i
krenula na odgovaranje. Na neka od njih sam već znala odgovore jer dosta često
mislim o takvim stvarima, ali neka su mi došla kao šok. ''Da li bi htjela
prijateljicu poput sebe?'' Ne znam, doista, doista ne znam. Jednako kao što ne
znam odgovor na ''Da ne znaš svoje godine, koliko bi ih si dala?'' Ne znam… Ali
svih njih 32 su bila zapravo jedno pitanje i svi su odgovori bili samo jedan.
Neću ispisati sve od njih ali ću sažeti sve što sam naučila o sebi i životu u
par jednostavnih rečenica. Hvala Amelia što si me potakla da se pitam prava pitanja.
The worst thing you can do in life is never taking on the challenge and
never taking on the risk because one day you're gonna be too old and too sorry
and people are gonna judge you no matter what you do so you might as well do
whatever the fu** you want.
Najgora stvar
koju možemo učiniti u životu je da nikada ne prihvatimo izazov i da nikada ne
prihvatimo rizik jer ćemo jednoga dana biti prestari i previše tužni i ljudi će
nas osuđivati bez obzira na sve tako da onda bolje da jednostavno činimo što
god je** poželimo.
You're gonna die eventually, everyone will so say
it before it's too late.
Create a job around your lifestyle not the other way around because that way
you won't have the need to quit it if you ever win a lottery. You can invest.
Izgradite posao oko svoga životnoga stila, a ne obrnutim smjerom jer
na taj način nećete morati dati otkaz ako ikada dobijete na lotu. Moći ćete
uložiti.
You don't always need a plan, sometimes you just need balls.
Život i ljudi
koji su vam bliski su važniji nego bilo kakva vrsta slave ili materijalna
dobra.
What
makes difference between living and just existing is finding your passion. So
when you find it, when you start to feel that fire inside of you that makes you
wanna chase it, you will never again let anything be a matter of coincidence.
You won't sleepwalk anymore. You're gonna feel yourself breathe. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________
Ono što čini razliku između življenja i pukog postojanja je pronalazak
svoje strasti. Tako da kada ju nađete, kada počnete osjećati tu vatru unutar
sebe koja vas tjera da ju ganjate, više nikada nećete ničemu pustiti da bude
stvar slučajnosti. Nećete više mjesečariti. Osjetiti ćete kako dišete.
Don't be
afraid of making mistakes because that's how we learn the best, so make sure
that you always choose love over fear. Sea of love, S.
