Skiathos, Greece
If you are feeling down because the end of summer is quickly approaching, do not worry my friend! Remember: problems do not exist, only opportunities do. Then, take them! Do not think about the speed of time, all those beautiful moments which now are just distant memories, those laughs, sunsets, dawns and exotic places, wondering when will you go back there again Instead of thinking about what you LOST, think about what you GAINED from all of this. If you do that, you will find out that those you gained are more than the ones you lost.
You did not only explore new places, meet new people, discover new cultures, learn new things, make indelible memories, have one of the best times of your life, but you also grew as a person. All these experiences are like small tiles that slowly constitute the intricate puzzle of your life. They are so precious not only because they enrich and embellish you, but also because they help redirect your path by taking different decisions in life, decisions that you had never considered before. Hence, remember: all these experiences will never fade away. They are part of your past just as much as they are part of your present and future.
Think of what you can grasp from that: maybe you found the place you can call home, maybe you discovered your dream job, maybe you are planning to go visiting or hosting your new friends, maybe you have new hobbies and skills you would like to further develop… and if you are a writer like me, then maybe you caught new inspiration for a new book, project or story.
“I remember the two of us riding around on a scooter in Greece at sunset, the clear sea water reflecting the sun's rays, the warm air caressing our faces, the twinkle in our eyes. I remember our laughter, our smiles, our games, our adventures.”
Maybe these will be the next main characters of a story... Who knows, anything is possible. There is no such thing as the end, just new beginnings.
Smile, shape your reality, do it everyday, and the “usual boring daily routine” will cease to exist.
Step by step, you can climb up to the sky, reach the moon, run with the stars.

Good luck, and happy beginning
