There's always two sides of a coin

The differences and changes of one nights sky to another never cease to impress me. This moment was almost surreal in its marvelous beauty and quietness. You know that moment when you begin to question those incredibly naive and childish things like how we human beings are able to fight, stress our way through life or occupy us with anything destructive when there is such magnificent beauty around us that could heal our poor souls if we just opened up our eyes and got closer to the real things in life. No matter how cliché, I truly believe that a closeness to nature makes us more humble and somehow manages to soften us as human beings if we only are open to that kind of change.

And, of course, the proximity to the quiet nature could also drive you completely crazy when you're fed up with soul searching, finding your inner peace and all that crap. Living on a boat and sailing around the world gives you a lot of time to go through both those contradictory emotions and many nuances in between. One day you marvel at all that beauty and tranquility that gives you so much fulfillment and you ask yourself why you haven't always lived this close to the nature, next day you wanna pull your hair out because everything is so.very.fucking.peaceful and you swear to god that on next island you'll jump off at you'll locate the busiest bar in the neighborhood and get yourself as drunk as humanly possible to forget how much you miss your friends and something crazy happening around you. But that's just to get used to. We can't always have everything we want at the same time, can we. Until I find the magic formula I'll continue to enjoy the sunsets best I can - sometimes while drunk and pathetic, but most of the times happy with the greatest sense of thankfulness for all what we get to experience on this journey of a lifetime. The sail across the South Pacific will for sure be an even greater mental challenge for us both.
