Life, timing, future, dreams.

God, it seems ages since I've logged in to this page and shared some of my thoughts and adventures, crappy articles or idealistic fantasies. Sometimes I ask myself why I keep this blog. I don't really need it, it doesn't really satisfy any need for attention or ego-boosting-narcism, and I definitely don't need to do it to keep people notified of what I've been up to. I guess it's more of a track-keeping record of some random events, some important and others not, which somehow ended up connecting to my path of life. Needless to say, motivation to keep it up-to-date has reached an all time low, and it's only because I'm ill with fever in bed and bored to death that I've decided to do a little effort and increase the amount of garbage published on the web. The end of this blog is near, as we're running towards the end of a project (although Boeing is facing serious delays) and Stijn-in-Seattle will then likely be Stijn-back-home. 'Home' off course is a relative concept, especially for people like me, bragging about being world citizens and all, but being so well traveled and lived through so many pack-and-unpack episodes, that the reference system of where we really belong has been shaken and affected. I don't really know where home is anymore. It seems that I could live anywhere, as long as I'm wanting it and surrounded by the people I want to be part of my life. So I got back from Brazil, with tons and tons of energy. That's what a country as lively and frenetic as Brazil does to someone who's already high on life-adrenalin. The trip was amazing, and especially from a meeting and (re)discovering friends/friendships perspective, an absolute success. A trip that helped me to recalibrate my inner compass, and determine a strategy for the times ahead. I found happiness again, where it has always been, inside myself.  Major issues lay ahead, and no matter good or wrong, I know that I'll make the decision as making the decision itself will be key to my happiness.
