Something is definitely gone.
While we enjoy the colourful autumn decoration of the trees and the still-green grass around us, the warm sunrays are slowly fadeing, and the days become shorter and colder.
Not just summer, but a very special part of my life is over, so a new season can begin.
I have mixed and strange feelings, being sad and happy at the same time. I just moved to a new, inspiring city, and it seems like I am on an exciting vacation every day, but without the urge to hurry to try and experience as much as possible – to get overdosed with the new impressions, so I can live from them until the next long-awaited holiday.
This is different now.
I can absorb the new sensations gradually, and do not have to count the days and stick to a strict regime, carefully planned and researched way before the trip. I can call Amsterdam my home now – at least for a while, until it has new messages to tell me and unknown, strong places to show me. So far it’s promising, but well, the standard is up now, my previous city,Prague being so awesome and such a memoreable and important stage in my life.
When I return in my thoughts to Prague, I think about life-changing decisions and friendships. Big smiles and hurtful teardrops, too. I revive all the lessons I learned and especially all the people I’ve met.
I will treasure them forever with all the memories we share.
Looking after the three new-born chickens and feeding the little wild boars at the forest lodge.
The night-time swims in the nearby lake. Rowing the boat and sipping that rosé we liked so much – to drink and to sell at the wine festival, too. The best birthday presents. Picking cherry while standing atop of a tractor. Getting up early to have breakfast and start the day together. The swimming pool, the sauna and the cold-water basin affterwards. Beers and talks. Three days in the nature together, and learning how to make fire.
Working as a bartender and tapping beer for you, when you stopped by.
Baking together our friend’s birtday cake. Indian dinners, chili and cheese filled pancakes on the ski-trip and French pastry all around the years.
Excuse me, my friends, if I can’t summarize everything in these several short paragraphes.
I miss you very much, and even if I sleep 900 km-s away nowadays, part of me will always be at home in Prague.
