The Polar Express-3

| 3/4/21 Copenhagen/Denmark |
Spring has arrived. Denmark is greener. It is full of sunshine and bird songs right now. We have been longing to see these spring forerunners for a long time...
I would like to start with this song above. In a way, it reflects my inner world, so, literally poignant and utterly unique to me. It's been eight months since I arrived here, without a visit to my home country. It sounds quite a long time. After my experience in Germany, which lasted five months, I have now expanded my maximum period of living abroad. As I see, it comes by time. I hadn’t imagined that I would be in this situation. It was beyond my expectations, but here we are: I am walking in the reality of my dreams. What life brings us is impressive.
This journey has started to change me gradually. I am reforming. It is as if something is brewing inside me. It is like each piece binding together magically to make up the whole. The whole process makes me feel stronger and more resilient mentally and personally. It's the most precious thing, something I needed to use in my life. So, right now, I am capable of overcoming the obstacles. It is much easier now. That's why I call it a journey, physically and, no doubt, spiritually, as well.
We had a long trip to Copenhagen with my friends during the Easter Holiday. It is one of the great youth memories in a life-long period, for sure. It will always be in my mind in a lovely frame with super good feelings. The weather favoured our trip, too. Having a long and grey winter full of Covid restrictions, we had all missed going somewhere. Therefore, it was a sort of healing for my soul. Moreover, this trip reminded me of living as a backpacker for a while again. It was a good feeling. The whole trip plan consisted of a few paths. First, I took the road from Skive to Vejle. After meeting at the train station with Zeinab, we then passed by Andreas' birthday party. When his mother met us at the door, with a warm smile, her first sentence to me was, ''You look like a backpacker.''. It made me feel somehow different; it was a special moment. After a few seconds, full of amazement, I said ''I am!'' :). I wanted to mention this moment specifically because the most worthy part of all journeys is sharing a special moment with people. It’s so miraculous that it sweeps you away from your daily life. So, that's why I love being on the road to collect magical moments as much as possible. I am a slightly poetic person, so being aware of these occasions is easier for me. :)) heh…
Well, another magical moment happened in front of The Little Mermaid (shown on the first picture below) while we were all enjoying the sunshine and our coffee. It was beyond all explanations. We just felt it. We felt those moments completely. The last special moment was in Christiana, the nearby lake, when the sun was setting, and we were talking vehemently about life whether it is easy or not (somewhat deep). There was a beautiful song accompanied by Spanish tones playing in the background. And that's the thing about living or being alive, let’s say!

P.S. ''He has no idea how long he's been on the road. Every rest
point he sees is crowded with planned trips... As the logic of the majority
dictates, inevitable places for those who want to get from point A to B. His journey is unplanned, he has no idea where he's going, and there is no
logical explanation as to why he's on the road. Who wants to explain anyway?
When you're on the road, you just aim to go as far as possible, but you
remember where you're going and why only when you stop... Here's another one...
Rest areas are part of our calculable, fabricated reality... A bland cup of
tea, a coincidental meal, dirty toilets and have a nice trip... He doesn't
want to rest. He will keep going until he finds the shadow of a tree or a
waterfront where he can sleep.''
P.P.S. Sincerely, thanks to Melek Teacher for the edit.
