Leaving...


Last days. Many things have happened here during my stay... I met some new people that are really nice, athough I havn't planned making friends here anymore. Simple - you cannot plan things like that, they are written somewhere and just happen... I have spent time with my friends... last days we met for a coffee with Kathi, movie night with Sylwia, Kasia and Miia, BBQ with crazy people that I like from the bottom of my heart, Girlfriends' night, sauna day and last cider in Passion. Last days... my heart is already crying... I wanted to put here the merged photos from my visit in Tampere. But it was not possible. So I can only write you about the feelings... I am really happy I was in Tampere. Sometimes we cannot see the reason why we have to get somewhere at particular time. I discovered the reason I had to be in Tampere those days. I am still amazed with the destiny and the paths it has created for us. But I am grateful in the same time, we were given the chance. There is always a reason. Behind many things, many moments in our lives... Sometimes I keep asking myself - why?, but maybe it is not the time to get the answer, we have to discover it later. Maybe we need someone else to help us to understand that reason. My visit in Tampere brought many thoughts and feelings for me. It gave me hope, it made me believe, it gave me peace. Lake filled me with the space I needed, the wind I cought in my hair, the freedom I have in my eyes... Some moments were not easy, some tought me things I would like to avoid, but I am sure it is just another step. People are our lesson we have to learn. People I met in my life were mine. You are mine, wherever you are...

WEEKEND AGAIN :)



:):):) The weekend was really perfect. Whole day at the beach, meeting my workmates at one party, then "clubbing" with new friends, then lazy lazy day, meeting a friend for a coffee, going for a walk to My Lake. With my feet over the water, heart on my hand, a friend next to me - I felt like a kid again watching the sky to play with the claud shapes... It was lots of fun :) Have I ever told you how much I love this lake? Ok, I did ;) This is the best lake ever ;)
Meeting Joasia that came to Tampere with lectures, night in Hervanta... Cannot believe I am leaving soon...

next days...



Tampere... so much sun that I cannot believe my eyes. Real summer in the country that is said to be one of the coldest... no way... the beginnign of May is like summer here. Sunny, warm... I put my sandals on, and sunglasses... Meet some more friends, that I missed while being home... Crazy Be-bop, movie evenings...Walk with Evgeny, picnic with people from work, many many small details that made it precious, but I would have to write a HUGE blog to mention them all here... I have to admit I was missing that way of spending time in Poland a bit. It is just different...
I was at university trying to find articles to my thesis. I was enjoying Sauna with Giovanna. I was breathing in the view of my lake again... The smell of it, the peacefullness... I will try to take so much of it that I have it in front of my eyes when I am in my Boat City...
Talks with my friends in the difficult moments of their lives. Now I know there was something more, there was a special reason I had found myself exactly here, exactly this time. More and more I start to see that not many things are happening in pur lives just by accident, there is always "because" standing behind that. Sometimes it is just to appear in somebody's life to show him or her some new point of view. Sometimes you go far away from home to find how close it is for you. Sometimes you are to discover something or someone important in your life. Or sometimes you simply have to be there for your friends.
I have heard that sentence once in my life "life loses its taste when you lose the ability to be astonished by it and when you are not able to be surprised anymore". I am discovering surprises every single day...

My Sweetest Tampere...


Here I am!!! Thursday evening, with the sun over my head, my friends next to me... I am going to stay for more then 10 days... I am so happy to be here, although there are some mixed feelings as well... Coming back...
How can I describe first few days? Let me think... I have met many of my close friends-Sylwia, Kasia (thank you girls for a place to stay...), Jaanika (my Girlfriend!), Gosia, Giovanna (hei hei, Italian Friend, Finland again...), Miia, Emmi... Pawel's Birthday Party. Getting to know new really nice people. Sun. Party. Dancing. Talking. Drinking. Having fun. Smiling. Coffee with a friend, dinner with friends, party with friends... Vappu in Tampere once more... SUN SUN SUN, picnic, movie.
Feelings? Joy that I could see you again. Fun that I always have with you. That feeling of comfort and stability to talk to you again. Some confussion about things that have changed. Trying to describe what I felt is like trying to define the colours of sky after sunrise....
This was a long weekend... A weekend that I enjoyed almost every single second out of it...
