We are Free

THIS is the most amazing time and place to be alive. For sure, there have been more, other times to live in, wild, or romantic, violent, changing and boring. However, with the right state of mind and due to our youth, this is the best time. For us. Following generations will claim the same if they are lucky, and we will shake our heads and remember these days. They are probably never coming back, but they will evolve, as we do. We learn. We listen. We create and destroy. We feel, we hope, we love. Continuously. Even through hardships and rough patches, even when when we loose or fail. This is the most amazing time to be alive. We can apprachiate it while it lasts because we are conscious beings, we evaluate and we search for feedback, try to compare our views to others and experience being special all the time. This is of course a very personal sight, as everyone is special in his or her head. If we didnt have this why would we work for ourselves?

This is the most amazing time to be alive. Not the sixties in which every thought was able to light sparks all around. Not the time before where the world still seemed secure. Not the time after which was full of new inventions. It is now. And here. That place is not a location, it is a headspace. We are getting out of our teenage years and we find our place, our niche in which we can be brilliant. We are free.

Living this life with this head and mind makes us creators, stars in our own movie. With our words we blow life into concepts, and into plans and into a life's history. With the right kind of eyes we can see where we came from and where we are going.

THIS is the most exciting possible time to be alive.

"To be an adult means, among other things, to see one’s own life in continuous perspective, both in retrospect and prospect. By accepting some definition as to who he is, usually on the basis of a function in an economy, a place in the sequence of generations, and a status in the structure of society, the adult is able to selectively reconstruct his past in such a way that, step for step, it seems to have planned him, or better, he seems to have planned it. In this sense, psychologically we do choose our parents, our family history, and the history of our kings, heroes, and gods. By making them our own, we maneuver ourselves into the inner position of proprietors, of creators." Erikson, 1987
