The lake

Lately, I can’t sleep well. My mind is full of questions backed up with some dilemmas and memories from my younger ages. There is only one way to find ease in my soul, so I invited her for a walk around the calm lake where we could talk in peace. We were walking around the lake and, with every step, I realized that I didn’t know her at all. In all that time that passed, we both changed. She is a different person now and I am changed. However, the feelings are still the same. I can still feel calm with her and it looks like I was missing that feeling.

“I can still feel calm with her and it looks like I was missing that feeling.”

When we made a whole circle around the lake I told her: “You see… I don’t know if you have an idea about how life should be, but I must tell you that I bought a one-way ticket to Asia. My wish is not only to walk around the lake but to go around the world. My life’s been such a mess lately and I’ve made a promise to myself, that I’ll rediscover who I am and what is my real purpose here. Somehow, every artist gets to this point and I’m not that different.” She was silent for a long time and after that what seemed like an eternity she answered: “What would you say if I tell you that this journey is a perfect chance to get to know each other? Life is not what I was expecting. Even though I have everything, I have nothing in fact. I would like to go with you.”
