you're reading...

... not your own travel memories, but the ones of other persons. you're imagining how it would be like in those places, some of them you had visited already. to feel the wind, the sun, the rain. to observe people, to let your thoughts flow, to read, to decide for activities, directions - in short: to be the owner of your path. at least for a certain period of time. again.

and then, you're not looking at the computer screen anymore. your eyes are wandering across the open-plan office. there couldn't be any bigger contrast. you're feeling the energy, so clearly, for the first time since your return in 2017. your finger tips are itching in anticipation of what might be possible. if you had the choice, you would just walk out of the door and leave.

right here. right now.
