Still dreaming?

The last post was mostly about getting your hands dirty, getting to work and becoming something (or someone) else. I'm about to set off on a particularly emblematic trip tomorrow morning, and this trip feels like the ending of a very important stage of my life, and - of course! - the beginning of a very promising "new life", so to speak.

These are merely random thoughts that come to mind right now. Don't take them for granted. Don't think it's carved in stone either.

When somebody tells you something you want is impossible, pay attention. Nevermind the "impossible" part, but listen carefully. That person is gonna tell you how he/she failed. Listen and learn.

You don't need a clear image of what you want. In fact, I strongly recommend you to stop basing your thinking on images. Knowing what you don't want is enough to start with. Build on top of it, based on your own experiences. Don't borrow too many ideas from other people.

Don't be afraid to start over. You might wake up one day and discover that what you wanted so badly was bullshit. Simply toss away what doesn't work for you, keep what you want. It's a lot like writing a song.

Enjoy loneliness. Enjoy the small or big things that you could never talk to anyone about. Protect what you believe from the evil public opinion around you... if don't know what I mean, I'm sure you will in no time.

I'll be absent for the next few days (it is a long trip: 20.000km), but I'm sure you will enjoy my comeback posts... :-)
