Everything is beautiful
Hello everyone :)
It feels weird to write this blog, knowing that it’s one of my last.
It made me reflect a lot on the time that has passed - different stages, feelings, views, plans that have constantly changed in this one year. Aaaand now we’re here, almost at the end.
I feel like i should save this for my last blog but I can’t help but feel so grateful: Taking this year gave me so many different opportunities and experiences, I've met such incredible people that are so different and so amazing that it’s hard for me to even put it into words.
Only now I realized, this year changed me completely. It opened me from the inside, made me softer and stronger and wiser and so hungry for life.
June was one of the most beautiful months of all.
We took many trips to see many things and it feels like there is just so much more to see.
Still, I don’t think I will ever regret spending the time like i did.
In June, I passed my language school exam to module 3, spent a lot of time in the forest and at Fuglsang.
I got to experience (a very windy and pretty rainy) St. Hans while Tabea was in Aalborg, we’ve opened our beautiful little kiosk and had our big summer party that went so so perfectly well and of course there were also all the trips to the sea.
Last week I got to help Anne Vibeke with a clay workshop for Åben Sommer and you better believe me when I tell you that that woman is on fire! We spent beautiful days outside, stamping plants into clay and having a lot of fun.
... And rumor is that in town... we’re known as .. the Dream Team! POW!
Yes, I don’t think there’s a lot more I’ve done except for enjoying every minute of it all.
It has been a month full of excitement and beauty, powerful women working together, cooperation, compromise and love.
This blog is different from my other ones but i can’t help but also feel heavier. It felt very easy to write all this so I will just allow my emotions to come out as they want.
In Germany there’s an expression that roughly translated means “to leave with one laughing eye and one crying eye” and it expresses my feelings pretty well. I’m scared to leave, nothing about the few future months is secure and I have to accept that this year, that I will never forget, is over soon.
On the other side I am bursting with excitement and energy, hoping, feeling, dreaming about all the things that I am free to do.
Only now can I fully comprehend how all the other volunteers felt. And it’s beautiful :)
I am slowly preparing myself to leave and hope that we get to meet the next volunteers in one way or another. :p
But before all those big feelings I will first go on holiday for two weeks! My family and I are visiting my grandparents in Morocco and taking a roadtrip along the northern coastline.
Tabea has already left to Austria and now it’s my turn. I can’t wait to reunite with her in two weeks but this holiday also feels more than needed. <3
I hope everyone gets to enjoy a nice summer break and I will see you next month for my last blog entry ! :-)
