See you in a fortnight

I’m leaving for Taiwan this afternoon and will arrive there only on Monday. That sounds a bit strange, but if you count the time difference and the night we’ll spend in Singapore, then it all makes sense.
I’m not going to write about that loss and regain of time we experience when we travel. I always found it to be the only real proof that a certain notion of time only exists in order for us to live and be structured.
I’m cleaning my flat, putting the last things in my suitcase and then will be heading to the train station. I can’t help thinking that I’m going to the other side of the world, but I still don’t realize it.
In a world where many of us travel often, I still find it miraculous that we can end up on the other side of the globe within a few hours. I hope that feeling never goes away.
Traveling always allows me to come back to myself. Although I won’t be alone during this trip, I know I’ll be in that special place of happiness where ideas come and everything’s possible. I’ll feel truly myself, naked without my life in Switzerland. It’ll be a good opportunity to think about my project. I know I want it to work, and it’s not something I’ll give up, even if it takes a while before I can actually work on it properly.
I feel pregnant with that project. I’ll give birth to it when the time is right.
When I come back, I’ll have to work hard on my masters, as I have to finish it before the 30th of April. It’ll be a bit tough to focus on that, as my project is taking me most of my creativity, but sometimes it’s nice to do things just because you have to do them. Having no choice can be good. Seriously.
I’ve scheduled a few posts regarding a meme I’m doing in French called Un mois pour tout savoir, but I’m not sure I’ll be able to or want to be online often.
In the meantime, enjoy the rest of February and the beginning of March.
I leave you with Andrea and Leah‘s DigiSnippets. They’re fun, enjoy them!
Oh, and don’t forget to check what Ian Sanders, Seth Godin, Iddictive, Sarah Marquis and the rest of those I often reblog on my Tumblr are up to!
Be safe!
