I really don't like when people keep telling me: 'yeah, you had the time of your life in Morocco but that is over now and you should appreciate the life you have now. it's not that bad' I agree it's not that bad. But what they usually mean is: 'you can't live like in Morocco all your life. have you seen the movie l'Auberge Espagnol? it cannot be like that all the time. Life is not a constant party under the palm trees'. They are never able to give me a clear answer when I ask them: 'and why not my dear? give me one more legitimate reason why I cannot live the way I like and want!'
I have to admit that I had more parties during my one year in Morocco than during my twenty three years of life in Poland before. But my life was not a constant party. It did look like 'l'Auberge Espagnol' but only in the first two seasons. Later, it was even more fabulous than this movie. I don't understand why some people think that it's ok to have one great experience in your life but later settle for something stable and predictable and live like that for the rest of their lives. To have 'a normal life'. Whatever they mean by normal.
I disagree.
As soon as I feel I am bored with Belgium I will just move to some Thirld World country, get a good job there and will be partying under the palm trees in my free time. It will take a while to move and find a job but I will eventually do that.
Once I had a facebook conversation with some random person - a friend of my friend. He apparently lives in Beirut, Lebanon. I wrote him that I find his country very intriguing and maybe would like to live there for a few months/years one day. He replied: 'no, ıt's not a dream, ıt's easy - just do ıt and you will be happy'.
I guess you don't have to only browse Internet or books to find some words of wisdom. Just hang out with wise people.
