inside insights // i'm watching you

i do think it's creepy and i do think it's very necessary. you're my lab. never before have i enjoyed this much the peaking into lives and everydays. your relationships, cooking habits, jobs, flat arrangements and kids, if you have any. and, oh, your dreams and aspirations! sort of a lives-tourism. and a quite logical and much welcomed shift of interest. thanks to all the hosts for letting me in.
although lives-tourism really doesn't require that much of geographical variation, a little more traveling still makes sense. with an emphasis on a little more. one more trip ahead and then, hopefully.. settling. for real.

gaudeamus igitur // a graduate liig.

and still it's different once you get there. mostly.. there's no more back-up for me to say that i'm a student. in this regard, the end of academia has made the "so what do you do in life?" an even harder question to answer. (it might well be, though, all the hardship resides in my noncompliance with my own expectations.) on the other hand, nothing has really changed. i'm still a half-ways student as i've been for the last 1,5 years and there's still so much stuff to learn out there. and.. i'm more than excited to mate with my future alma mater. vita nostra brevis est.
as a matter of fact, now and for the rest of my life i'm officially a graduate of Latvian Academy of Culture. boooya.

skywards // savouring life

among other things, i'm actively and primarily learning to do as you feel. this made the 'Helsinki trip' possible, which now goes down in my personal history as a meaningful workshop of practicing such a stand.
quoting a friend of mine: "when you really want something, all the universe conspires to hit you in the face*". however, i like to think there's great difference between 'things you want' and 'stuff that's meant to be'. so i'm sending a big pack of thankfulness skywards for the numerous coincidences, connections and the great amount of luck that made it all happen. and it's not over yet. music, energy and good times running in my blood. and there's a Tallinn to return to.

forwards // time, life and all the fish

realize one's full potential. in other words: be best at being yourself. as a human being, personality and part of others' lives. the ultimate personal goal, isn't it? that's the sort of changing the world and making it a better place i think and talk about. i do believe people can be great by being their artless selves, unaltered by the pressure of assumptions and assertions external to them. i do believe i've got a whole life to learn and yet none of us are getting younger. you know what i mean.

we process, we play, learn and we grow. older, wiser, child-like-r, truer and purer.
i hope we do.

tack about, lavish and sing. whatever singing means to you.
i'll see you down the road
