I am not ready. It was just yesterday that I packed all of Mish&#8217;s shoes, books, PE. clothes&#8230;where did the summer go? Could it be because I hardly spent any time at home?<\/p>\n<p>We had a fantastic time in Norway with sis. We had 4 amazing, but real tiring days. Saw a lot, wanted to pack as much as we could into such a short time.<\/p>\n<p>The post about it will come soon, promise!<\/p>\n<p>Mish&#8217;s Dad did a real good job of looking after him, shouldn&#8217;t have worried. They&#8217;ve been to the zoo, saw a movie, shopped, dined. Spent the last 2 days at the lake, unfortunately the weather went from the unbearably hot to almost too cold.<\/p>\n<p>Upon arrival \u00a0seeing \u00a0Mish running out to the car was such a happy moment, I&#8217;ve missed him. We caught up on things with his Dad over a few pi\u00f1a coladas. Such a weird experience, I am still amazed at how civil we are with each other. Honestly hope that it will remain like this no matter what happens.<\/p>\n<p>So I arrived, and he left the next day. We stayed for 2 more days, lazy ones. Walking by the lake, reading, taking pictures, needed time to think about the future.<\/p>\n<p>Why is it that it is always me who has to make decisions, who \u00a0has to take the first step or the last? Why can&#8217;t life be straightforward, clear, and transparent? \u00a0Why do people lie, why can&#8217;t we be honest with each other? Wouldn&#8217;t it be much easier if we told exactly how we feel, without having to play stupid games, playing roles that were forced on us by traditions, customs?<\/p>\n<p>What if we just listened to our hearts instead of letting our \u00a0egos rule our lives?<\/p>\n<p>What if \u00a0we could have a totally different life?<\/p>\n<p>What if&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>School starts tomorrow.
