MY SEARCH OF BALANCE: november 2013

Welcome to my blog. I hope you will enjoy reading it!

I'm Barbara and this year I turned 25. I originaly come from Slovenia but it's been almost two weeks since I moved in Gothenburg (Göteborg) - Sweden. I wanted to discover some world before I settle down somewhere. In general - I know what I want and what kind of person I want to be/become BUT I want new experiences - actually, I need them. I wanted to explore the world and myself, build up my personality and put down cornerstone of my own on my own! I take life like eternal school and with every single moment I want to grow. During it - I have to except great decisions, take huge risks and fight for what I want and who I'm trying to be.

They say: 'Where there is a will there is always a way.' I can say that I'm in my everlasting search of balance! I need balance in my live. Balance in what I do, balance in my human relations...almost everywhere. As much I give - as much I expect to get. Although it's extremely hard to have control over it. OH, BALANCE!

Back to my travel story... I had really mixed fillings when I got on the plane. If there wasn't a plane ticket I would probably stay at home...

If I recall it was bad weather that day and such was my mood. But above the clouds... well - there was totally different story! I looked outside the window and get a filling that I'm sunbathing on huge, white pillow. So I kept it calm and just enjoy my flight. I slowly slid in wonderland - picturing in my thoughts, build up my fantasy: 'What will it be like? What will I learn? What kind of people will I meet and what kind of nature will I discover?'. All that and maybe more...on big white pillow.

Meanwhile - sir sitting next to me was on computer; or frankly most of passengers. I would probably joined them, but I didn't have it. So I took a newspaper - I found strip that perfectly described situation...

I look out of window again. I stopped being sad. I know why I went. It was hard thou...to leave my family, my friends, place where I felt comfortable, loved and safe. But I wanted to get new experiences, met new people, learn how to be independent and how to LIVE on my own - for first time, all I can do is to depend on myself - my abilities and knowledge.

After 9 hours long flight I finally arrived! So there I was - with my first step into my new future! Hello Göteborg! - I'm sure I'll enjoy my stay. Tack för gästfriheten! :)

I'm in Göteborg

On my first week here I was mainly exploring Göteborgs suburb Billdal - where I'm staying. It sure is beautiful I must say. I like the house I live in, I like people in it...
