This is what I wrote on the first of January 2008
"I got home for Christmas.Ans it was beautiful...And it was weird...And it was sad...
Everything was the same and yet everything was different.At first I felt like a guest in my own house and city.And then I felt like I belonged there once again.And now on the first day of this new year I feel like it's time to pack my things and go back to my study town.
With the people I had the chance to catch up with happened the same thing.I have lost events from their life and they lost events from mine.And then everything got back in order,in our usual roles and places cause if there is one thing certain is that people don't change...Circumstances do...
Also it was the first time that I enjoyed Athens so much...I went to theatrical plays,music scenes and movies.I've done more that what I used to do while I was living here.It was the first time that I walked through the streets with my head up...It was also the first time that I realized how many people walk with their heads down,looking pale and gray,almost a shadow of themselves.
I realized one more thing.I choose to believe in Santa Claus.I think it's a delusion that we need in our life.Having said that I also think that it's my turn to bring magic in my life.Quoting a song of D.Savopoulos :Παει ο καιρος που οι δικοι μας σκηνοθετουσαν τη γιορτη μας...
I don't believe in New Year's resolutions...Psychological advices and ramblings about a better life are not really my thing.I believe more in trying my best every day and take it from there..."
So this is what I've been thinking on the first day of this new year...Re-reading it seems a bit "down" but when I was writing it,it felt really...realistic and optimistic at the same time...
Anyway...I hope you all had a good time and I am waiting to hear your news...
To close this entry and welcome properly 2008 another song:
Γιατί ο χρόνος δεν υπάρχει
Γιατί ο χρόνος είσαι εσύ και οι άλλοι
Και κανείς δεν γνωρίζει η ζωή πού θα βγάλει
Κι όλο αυτό είναι μια μεγάλη γιορτή
Κι όποιος είπε: Και του χρόνου!
θα εννοεί πως δεν τελειώσαμε φέτος
ευτυχές και στο χέρι μας το νέο έτος
και πες το μου κι εσύ!!
ΚΑΙ ΤΟΥ ΧΡΟΝΟΥ...
