Norway became my home...

I have never ever thought that I will move away from my home country. Well... never say never. This summer it will be four years since Horten, Norway have been the place of my beautiful past couple years. Why beautiful? Well, it is very easy when you have the right person beside you. Actually, it was not as simple as that. Moving to another country requires a lot of courage, healthy mind, support of family and money. I think I couldn't do that alone. But my "journey after love" have given me very good results.

First months were interesting. I couldn't speak Norwegian, everything in the shops was so expensive to me, everybody seemed so slow. I was happy to get a job within the first day of arrival as it is rather hard to do it without knowing their language and having friends. It goes without saying that half of my salary was gone to Norwegian language courses. And it is not very easy language when basically 40% of things have no rules and you need to remember it. Anyway, I have never given up. The goal was to talk, to write, to understand, to read, to be a part of society. I just wanted everything to be good. Is it good? Oh... let me tell you. In Norway I have changed my character. I was very nervous person, pedantic, with lots of rules. Lots of situations, communications and living with various people, changed my mind. I'm not paying so much attention to unnecessary things now, I became more tolerant, I'm not so nervous anymore, I feel calm, I feel satisfaction every day. I try to solve problems, not overthink about them. I feel that there is much more place in my body to breath in and to live my life. So thanks for those situations and people in my life experience.

Another grateful thing is running! I have never ever thought I would get so much pleasure from running. Since childhood I've been attending track and fields courses, but long distances have never been my strong side. Firstly i was running due to bad mood, missing home, family... later on It became my hobby. I've started to join the running groups in Norway, to participate in the organizing of runs/marathons in the country...and last year I ran 21 km ... the goal is 42km, but this I would be glad to do with my second half of my life. Is there anything impossible for human? Well no, if you really want.

I would like to mention reading also. I have read so many books here. Maybe I became older or maybe it is because I began to take care of my self more and to do more what I want by breaking my life rules. That feeling when you create characters, when you imagine, when you cry or smile, it is indescribable. If the book is good, I always feel loaded and improved myself.

The very best thing is the freedom of travelling. That I definitely love and I definitely can. Last year we have visited basically another side of the world. And it is just because of my dear beloved. We should see more of the beautiful Norway also, it has unspeakable places to visit. I'm not in love in the country yet. Lithuania will be always number one in my heart, but this country has done amazing things in my life and I'm trying to establish myself here fully at the moment. I think It is just a beginning of our marvelous journey. We have time. There is time to share, to stop a moment, to kiss, to talk, to be silent, to look at each other, to sing, to dance, to play, to argue, to take risks, to run, to go for a walk, to touch, to taste, to be. Everything it is in your life like it should be. Accept it and enjoy!
