Intermezzo

I haven't been writing for a long time. I'm at Luang Phrabang in Laos at this point leaving to Vang Vieng in 30 minutes. Vietnam and Cambodja lie ahead of me. I have been looking back at the thousands of pictures I've made during my trip and I cannot believe I've been through all of this. It's simply amazing... The sheer amount of experiences that I've had is overwhelming. I almost get tears in my eyes when I see some of the pictures. Life can be so intruiging and intense. It's almost unbelievable. If I compare this to what I have been doing the past years of my life, I must have been asleep. Focused on work and career. Round the clock. Not tasting life in a way I should have done at a much much earlier stage of my life.

I wonder what I will do when I get back? Will I return to the system, blend in and return to all the mindless routines? I don't know if that will be possible. I'm gonna need a change. And it's gonna be the biggest and most positive change I'm gonna have in my entire life. The only really valuable things I can leave behind is my family and friends. No fancy cars, flashy businesscards and fancy sounding titles. I don't feel that is what I need to be happy. I used to though. I guess things change when you explore the world...and yourself.

The life I have right now is the most addictive drug I have ever tried.

I send out all my love to my family, my friends in Belgium and all the friends that i've made all over the world.

Happiness, success and love redefined.
