Hey guys,
dieser Eintrag ist nichts für Dummies. Einige der
folgenden Worte sind eindeutig in ihrer Bedeutung und in ihrer Relation zum
Auslandsjahr, dem weg-sein, dem Reisen und all diesem hier. Und bei anderen muss man schon den Willen haben, den eigenen Kopf anzustrengen, um den Grund zu erkennen.
"It's not a
year in life. It's a life in a year." NEIN! Stoooop! Ich hasse diesen Spruch und
dennoch liest man ihn immer wieder und überall, sobald jemand das Wort Auslandsjahr auch
nur denkt. Es ist noch immer ein und dasselbe Leben. Es ist lediglich ein neues
Kapitel, so wie die Grundschule sich von der Oberstufe unterscheidet, das sind
ja auch keine zwei total anderen Leben, oder?!
Und aus diesem Grund habe ich heute ein paar
-viele- Zitate, Sprüche und kleine Texte rausgesucht, die meiner Meinung nach
teilweise besser passen und manchmal auch einfach nur mir persönlich aus der
Seele sprechen.
Da das hier doch länger geworden ist, als geplant,
werde ich mich bereits hier verabschieden und die Bühne für meine gesammelten
Sprüche, Zitate und Weisheiten freimachen.
Vi ses snart,
Lea
P.S. Dies ist übrigens ein Teil einer etwas
abgewandelten Art einer Kolumne, die ich während der nächsten Wochen in circa 4 Einträgen auf meinem Blog
veröffentlichen werde. Eine Art kleiner „Vorabschied“ und Rückblick aufs
vergangene Jahr.

“Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder, so I can’t look back for too long.
There’s just too much to see waiting in front of me, and I know that I just

remains quite the same.”
–Jimmy Buffett

It leaves you
SPEECHLESS

Twenty years
from now
you will be more
disappointed by the things
you didn’t do than by
the ones you did do.
So throw off
the bowlines.
Sail away from
the safe harbor.
Catch the trade winds
in your sails.
Explore. Dream. Discover.
It feels good
to be lost
in the right
direction.
The more I traveled
the more I realized
fear makes strangers
of people who
should be friends.
In the end,
we only
regret
the chances
we didn't
take.
You don’t
need magic
to disappear.
All you need
is a
destination.

Power and Love
back to your
life.“

I don’t know
where
I’m going.
But I’m
on my way.

your door. You step
onto the roas, and if

feet, there’s no telling

swept off to.”

“When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the

I travel for the unknown, the uncertain, the undiscovered. I travel
because there’s too much out there not to see.

When was the
last time you
did something
for the first
time?
“Like all great travelers,
I have seen more than
I remember,
and remember more
than I have seen.”
– Benjamin Disraeli
The 3 C’s in life:
Choice, Chance, Change.
You must make the choice,
to take the chance,
if you want anything in
life to change.
I don’t care
how long it takes me,
but I’m going
somewhere
beautiful.
“Since life is short
and the world is wide,
the sooner you start exploring it,
the better. “
-Simon Raven
It’s time
for a new
adventure.
Dare to live
the life
you’re
always wanted.
Take every
chance you
get in life,
because
some things
only happen
once.
“I read,
I travel,
I become.”
-Derek Walcott
Travel is
rebellion
in its purest form.
Life is an adventure.
Take risks.
Life is short
and the world is wide.
“As ever Watson, you see but you do not observe. To you the world
remains an impenetrable mystery whereas to me it’s an open book. Hard logic
versus romantic whimsy, that’s your choice. You fail to connect actions to
their consequences.”
-Sherlock
