It is said



Maybe I was too fast.
I like us together, alone.
I don't like us together, with others.
Too much potential lost.
Let us kill each other to the end!

I never imagined it happening, but it will be black & blue all the way!

Belgium, do you know where it is in the map?





In August, I will be living in Belgium for 7 years.
7 of the best years of my life. the holly 20s!
Do you even know where Belgium is?
It's a lost country in Western Europe, that, for some unknown reason, its capital, Brussels, became the Capital of Europe, or the European Union to be more accurate.
Not a lot of people have heard of Belgium actually. We can't blame them, it's very small (5th smallest country in the EU... which reminds me, have you ever heard of Andorra?!). It's a bit more than 1/3rd of the state of Louisiana! Nevertheless, it has 3 national languages (French, the only one I speak, Dutch and German).
The weather is an absolute hell all year long, and all the houses / streets and infrastructure are very narrow and small. However - please rejoice! - Belgium has the best beers, best chocolate (nope, Switzerland, sorry, but Belgian chocolate is the best), and best mussels ever!

I forgot though how it was to be my previous self.
I feel less and less who I was, or from where I was.
And although I don't feel Belgian in any way (yet?), I don't feel like a citizen of the world neither.
And unlike my early 20s, not giving myself a box that defines me doesn't bother me anymore. I do not feel any "identity crisis", quiet the opposite.
I finally feel free.

We are the thesis and antithesis




Isn't it the funniest of worlds?
Such a laugh! 

From jobs that are now called "Client whisperer" or "Technological Evangelist" (respectively for "Client relationship manager" and "IT trainer")... to the insanity of nature that forces us to remember our biological essence, our diseases, weaknesses, and most importantly, our mortality.
... From a human race that has no place on Earth anymore... to a state of cultural and social saturation created but by our own minds.
... From a human society turned into a hyper consumerist ants' colony in the big cities we built... to the striking happiness we can yet feel in a field of corn with the sun shining and the breeze lifting our spirits.

We destroy and create, we love and hate... we are creatures of such absurd bipolarity... capable of the most beautiful actions of creation, and of the worst insanity that the soul shies away to imagine. We are the real reflection of our world. We compete against it, with such fierceness, knowing that winning is losing and losing is defeat.

Beautiful.
Amusing.

And undeniably terrifying.
