Every now and then it is necessary with a change in life. It is inevitable so it is not like there is a choice really. But for some reason everyone seems so afraid of it. Resisting, struggling, even running away from themselves. So instead of fighting things you cannot control, embrace it. Live it. Go with the flow. May it be some rocks to climb here and there but on the other side there is always downhill.

After roughly two and half years in Madrid I have been on the outlook for doing some changes in my life. But I am so freaking happy about my time I have had there that I lack the words to explain it! What I appreciate most is that I managed to finish one of the goals I setup for myself after high school: learn to speak fluent Spanish. It was also one of the prerequisites I set up for myself before I should consider myself ready to move on. And during the process I had the privilege of finding the grains of gold of people who I definitely don’t want to lose connection with even if I would move to the other side of the world. Thanks for letting me into your life. I am amazed by the kindness some people can show.

Madrid will always have a certain place in my heart but even so it was not my city to stay in. I always felt like I was on the move somewhere else and it was a temporary stop along the way. When the opportunity arose I could not say no and here I am – since Friday I am now living in Barcelona. I’m actually still working in the same company but this it is kind of back to the roots of starting something new. New office with only a handful colleagues. And apart from continuing learning and developing I plan to continue to have fun while doing it. After all, isn’t that what life’s about?

I the first impressions definitely say I will. I have a good gut feeling for this one.
