Experience the unknown

So I had no plan at all. I booked a flight to Copenhagen, hired an Airbnb for one night and booked a bus ticket to Kolding (my new hometown). That was it. I arrived at my Airbnb place and met Philipp (and Lisa). I was his first guest ever, so it was a new experience for him too. While talking, he turns out to be a cook. He then went on to prepare an amazing lasagna! Exactly that night there was this party in the city where one of my favorite DJ’s of the moment was playing. I invited them to come, but they weren’t into disco. Hmm. Fuck it, I thought. Felt weird, going out alone for the first time in my life. How do I do this? When The Black Madonna finally comes on, I forget the whole situation and started to get into my vibe. Trying to get into a conversation with everyone and eventually meeting some great people. Also a guy named Thomas, who appeared to be half Dutch and from Kolding. What are the odds! So the next day I texted him, asking if he knew some people I could maybe stay with for the next couple of days. “Most of my friends moved out of Kolding, just like me. There are however two brothers that I know very well that still live there, I could ask them.” he said. Three months later, Kasper and Thomas turned into the two greatest brothers I never had.

Would I have imagined all this happening three months ago? Not at all. Could it have turned out worse? Yes, most definitely. The thing with new experiences though is that it can be either good or bad. Had a good one? That’s great! A bad one? You will learn from it and end up improving yourself as a person. It’s an easy thing to stay in the past, but the only way to reach your own potential is to discover life. Just know there’s a ton of opportunities out there just waiting for you to say yes.
