My mother sometimes tells me that I am spoiled. I'm not sure why that is. I mean yeah, I won't take a boring job, I'm 26 and have never bought a car, and I expect to one day live in a majestic tower with a cheerful yellow labrador retriever (named "Dude") for a companian. Oh, and I've been travelling for 7 months non-stop.
On the other hand, I've had the honor of hand-feeding a silverback gorilla, have always said a heartfelt "Thank you" for every vehicle I've been given and, if someone has to make a tower feel like it has a purposeful existence, it might as well be me!
The irony of the situation is that Mum is the one who actually instilled in me the notion that the only thing between a person and their dreams is the path they choose to take. Maybe that is why I find myself drawn to people with a "can-do" mentality, people like Matthias (who, when asked if something can be done, often replies with, "Sure!"). And now that I am getting to know Melli even better, I am happy to see that she shares his enthusiasm for the possibilities of life.
