From Canary Islands with Love

It’s been a while now, since I last wrote something constructive. Maybe because my current life here in Gran Canaria is about pleasure and I’m not bothered by any of existential problems except love, partnership and meaning of life ;-)

My cousin Tom’s wedding is not far off. Unfortunately I will not be present and that is why I would like to dedicate this post to him and his future wife, mother of his child, Kate.

After a whole year of struggle (my grandma death, undiagnosed health issues, running a marathon and humiliating job) and traveling between France, London and my friend’s couch in Warsaw, being way far from my comfort zone in any meaning of this word, came with the theory that goes like this:

if you’re brave enough to leave everything comforting and familiar behind like your house, job or small things, and start a seeking journey of your true soul, happiness, peace and life balance, and you take everything that happens to you as a clue and a lesson, as well as all people along your way see as a teacher, and most of all, if you’re ready to face difficult reality about yourself, the truth will not be withheld from you.

If we get rid of all of these overwhelming 21-century-big-city-life thoughts which disturb our life balance, we all find love, compaction and peace. And this is the art of living.

Love, partnership and respect are the quintessence of life. What I was looking for all my life was balance to finally feel joy, peace and love. It sounds cliché but now I know and I am ready.

Few months ago spoke to a friend of mine and our short conversation went along like this:

-          I’m leaving…going to Gran Canaria

-          Ohhh, you have a contract or a job there?

-          No

-          Ohh, going with your boyfriend?

-          No

-          Then, why?

-          Decided to change my life

-          Alone?

Sometimes it’s just a bad timing, sometimes we’re not ready for a commitment and sometimes we want it too hard and can’t find... 

...L.O.V.E. 

At first exciting, gives wings and raise you up to the sky, then requires work but along this whole process you need respect and partnership.

Tomek and Kasia,
I wish you all the best on your new way of life. May your days be filled with love, respect and friendship and Tadeusz be apple of your eye.

I raise my glass to you and your happiness :-)
