Is there something I can do, something I can say?


For lack of new art or photos I'm going to rant today..and because I haven't updated in a while and no one really knows whats up with my life these days.

It's rare that I get on messenger, and even rarer that I talk with someone. It's like the distance between me and my old friends keeps stretching and then you barely remember who your friends actually were? Then one day someone pops you up and you have a long wonderful conversation with them and remember just how much you loved them. Then just like that they disappear again for a good couple of months or half a year.

Well it's funny how lives change and distance brings people apart. So apart. Worlds apart.

Mine has changed so much and I admit I dont do my part to really keep in contact. I tried, and gave up because it didnt work. Basicaly a lot of stuff has changed and theres a lack of things in common to talk about. If an everyday conversation is gonna be exactly the same as the day before you might as well cut it up and just talk every 2 months so you have more stuff to tell each other, right? Or maybe what I have to say just doesent interest anyone any more. Who knows. Long ago my life stopped revolving around my friends around the world and started to be centered into this part of the world, here and now.

In any case;

I've been on vacation at home for half a year (take that), I've been painting works of art, going out, hangin out with friends, hangin out with family, cooking, doing a microsoft office course, playing paddel, driving, working out papers, summer courses, art museum visits, a week with friends up in a hostel in the mountains, working in the house, in the garden, shopping...
I love my room, I have redecorated and its like living inside a peppermint gum bubble. I love my shower too, it's just an amazing place to be in. I love my house, my car, my family and my life. God is good. How much luckier can you get.

Last month was the "nephews" month. 2 of them spent 2 weeks over, a niece spent a week. I occasionaly babysitted some others and we had the yearly summer family reunion on which we become twenty-something people, everything is a mess and it's awfully nice.
This month I'm goin to french classes in the morning, gotta keep it up somehow or I'll lose it for lack of practice. Hopefully next summer I'll spend it in France and that'll be the apotheosis of my french.

Uni starts in October and my routine of getting up at 6 am will kick off. So right now I'm storing in sleep sleep for the months to come...heh. I love this uni tho...I love the people and it's gonna be fun.

Tomorrow I have an interview for an afternoon part-time job at the uni and hopefully I'll get something cool.

Long days, long drives, short year.


exciting.

was a very good update ely. been logging in to check out your art, but I really felt I could relate how you felt distant though you tried to keep touch, it's just about moving on and finding out where you are supposed to be, but letting everyone know that though not always on your mind, they are always in your heart.

Yup...my same thoughts put into words....why does distance do this? sigh..I love you Ely!
