The Magic

Life always surprises us. Sometimes we appear in such places that we think it is a magic, and usually in such cases we just enjoy the moment. Living a boring life at school and struggling to get good grades I forgot that there is a world full of magic and wonders. One day already at High School I found something unexpected. I found me surrounded people and I found me without my glasses and walking in the park and not thinking about the stereotypes and about the mentality, about exams. I was enjoying every moment walking in the park. I found myself in really very different place. You may say that if I am going crazy as I was in the same town and in the same park that I passed every day. Of course, it was the same for many people, but was it the same for me? NO. I was looking at it with different eyes I was looking at trees without my glasses which always showed me whatever they wanted to show. I became a volunteer in different projects. I was going to different trainings, workshops, just everywhere. I had a hunger of knowledge. Yeah I had been doing very hard at school, but do you think that I got something else besides Mathematical formulas and historical facts?Again I should disappoint you saying no. I didn`t get anything that I could use in my life which now became ver colorful. Only after getting so many friends and getting non-formal education I saw the real park full of structures and trees. Before, with my school books and my glasses it was a park full of different useless things. The real travelling through life started. There were so many new things for meI was confused is this the same world or not? Both yes and no. Like the Little Prince I was travelling on different planets. I had some friends like the Little Prince had the fox who was his friend. Everybody was teaching me something. I was responsible for my rose. And that unique rose was my future I was responsible for it and nobody else. And first thing that I should have done was planting my rose. And I did. I planted my future in a vase hoping that one day I will change it place and take it to a bigger field where it can breathe the fresh air, of course in a bigger field there are so many strong winds and heavy rains and maybe snow but my future, my rose is very strong I am sure. It will survive and I will smell it and in summer hot days feel the breeze coming and going and making me and my rose cooler. Everybody has its travelling but is it through planets like the one the Little Prince had or is it a life travelling or it is better to say life journey that little me is still having? I found my the way to my rose. I planted it. I am watering it everyday and now it`s a big red rose which is so nice. Now I should take it to a bigger field because the space is not enough for it and because I want it to grow and become more and more beautiful. I want it to get more light from the Sun. I am still in my journey. I am still finding new things. I am still dreaming.
