I could've easily imagined you and @Beercake riding away into the sunset together. :D Had a real pleasure meeting all of you!
That would be a dream come true! Sunset, hand in hand, running. Ditto!
Gotta admit, initially while not knowing you I was a bit like "Ruben, who's that guy...", but when some excellent Estonian sausage was given from a man to man, what else can you think but "okay, this dude might be alright" (easiest way to bribe my trust is food 😂).
Fucking great you decided to come, it's a wonder how the right relationships (wonder indeed especially with fucked up people like us) can have such positive impact for the mind, to break out of the overthinking trap and downward spiral.
Btw, that egg eating picture of you always "cracks" me up xD
Haha, yeah, right back at you! I actually told @Escapist and/or @Eveuncovered that I didn't know 'her' (LMAO) and they were like; her? @Celestal is a guy! What girl has a mohawk, and I am like, mohawk? I didn't even know you have that avatar on chat. Maybe that's why I saved the sausage in the first place... heheh, ah well, that sausage was too good to not share.
Hell yeah, I snapped in it, and now I snapped out of it. What egg picture? It's just me eating some leftovers from breakfast. ROFL
HAHHAHAHA 🤣
The last pic of you guys together was the coolest. It's good to see you guys together like this, having fun, laughing, drinking, eating and connecting.
I am happy this trip is helping you heal too. I hope it brings you out of your depressed state completely.
Do keep being happy and great.
The trip got me completely out of my 'death trap', that was an unexpected bonus! Thanks for tuning in @warpedpoetic. See you @SNDBOX?
Sure. That's a good thing. Great friends do that.
Definitely, I'll be there
.
Really glad you have such fond memories of us! :)
It did feel like "brotherly" exchange of jokes and giving shit to each other :D
Haha! Yeah man! It is so weird, it felt like we just knew each other for a long time already. Like 'ah, just casually meeting up in Tallinn, nothing special or new here, where do we go next time? sure, oke.' Until next time @BeerCake!
In the end, I think you didn't need anyones help, you just needed to get out of the same circles and routines back at home. You needed a reminder that you like to travel, see new places and meet new people :)
Maybe, maybe not. You drained all the energy out of me tbh. Not trying to be a jerk or something. But god, I really didn't expect that you would consume so much energy. Just kidddingggggg, I wish that we gave a goodbye hug, so I could brag about it to all my fwends, because you're just always being you.
That is how I stay alive, I just suck the life out of the people around me. It’s much cheaper than buying food! 💁🏻♀️
Aww, I guess we need another meetup so we can say goodbye again, hug included!
Pinky promise?
Lupaan ja vannon, kautta kiven ja kannon, ja jos sanani syön, niin mörökölli minut vieköön.
Try google translating that 😝
Is this a saying in Finnish? A broom would actually suit you... so not sure if this is worth any :-p
It’s a finnish version of ”cross my heart and hope to die” 😁
That's a pretty epic journey! Glad to get through it. Glad you had some healing relief from your insomnia. Gosh your photography is well done! Love that last group picture. Happy healing adventures! Much ❤
Thanks! Haha, sorry for all those long posts, I really appreciate that you took your time in reading them all, and commenting. I feel so much better after the meet-up. Enjoy your day.
You'd better have some awesome Helsinki stories too! :)
Maybee... we'll see...
The suspense is killing me!
Fascinating story. Weird as this may seem steemit is my first true international experience. I have never been outside of Lithuania. And even online my interaction with outside world was limited to occasional comments on the let's plays and a few tweets. I never had any foreign friends(insert Nelson: Ha Ha!). Even in my own country I was at times worried.that girl lives 50-100 km away from me. thats so long distance. No point in even trying. I had these thoughts in the past.
It is weird that in this place I found people who I like more than some people in the real world. Interesting people. People I would even call my friends. Models, inspirations. Few cool chicks. and so much more. This place is exciting to me. Revitalizing even. I am still learning the ropes around here. So it is nice to hear success stories about steemit and real life mixing together.
@fieryfootprints, I don't know you, but let me tell you this. Life starts at the end of your comfort zone. 100 meters might be a lot to you, but once you have explored that, you start to get a hunger towards expanding your comfort zone and to seek out the joy life has to offer. I usually always try to find the border and limits of my own expectations, of course, I have set up many limits and barriers for myself that I need to overcome. This is the introvert part of me, while I can be very extrovert as well, and perhaps sometimes even both at the same time.
Once you realize you should've done the things you'd like to do sooner, do not regret, but start doing more to keep up the pace. The screen-world is temporary, while it gives you the opportunity to create chances in life a lot easier. Just get out there and fuck what people think. I usually was afraid that people didn't like me, maybe that's why I was being nice -all- the fucking time. Now I am more afraid that I do not like people, so I try to not judge anyone by its cover or behavior.
On the last day of my stay, I actually gave all my food away to a hobo. Socially rejected by society, in search of thrown away food and plastic empty bottles that he could sell for 0.10 cents each. While giving something doesn't always mean a lot in materialistic ways. I spend an hour with him and chatted about his life and what he does now to keep on fighting. He just lives his life every day and accepts that everything will come and go. Picture you being him. What would you do?
Cheers,
concern about distance was the thing of past. Now I don't think that any distance will stop me. It is true that stepping out of comfort zone is important. during celebration of 2018 I decided to do just that. For the first time in my life I went into a nightclub. Alone. Without any friends. I wanted to have fun without alcohol so I didn't drink at all. It was super awkward but at the same time I really enjoyed the night. Dancing as well. but more so my journey towards the club and later wandering through the city in the middle of the night.
Great pictures! Looking forward to your next post, to see if you did go to Helsinki ;-)
Let's find out ;-)
Que buen trabajo, good post. If we exchange votes??
