Installing GPS

Quiet is a very fragile thing as you can't protect it without first destroying it. Like when you're sleeping, you're woken up by someone (insensitive) and you just can't escape back into blissful sleep until you've been furious, yelled at The Insensitive One and once again calmed yourself down. I guess you can only protect your quiet by taking preventive measures. I'm saying this because, having returned to Denmark I find myself increasingly caught up in a jumble of activities again and losing one of the things I didn't really realise I had in France: quiet. I've never realised how important it is to take time to stay home, turn off the music (and the cell-phone) and just let yourself calm down. I've never before realised what it means to 'lose yourself' and the refreshing experience of 'letting yourself catch up.' (There's a great phrase for it in Danish)

This ties in with the tentative issue of identity, how I've never felt sure of myself which reflected in how I conversed with people. I know I've been a good entertainer but when it came to making a point that's even mildly controversial, I found myself blocking up, avoiding eye-contact and agreeing all to readily with which ever point anyone else was making. Now, having 'come in contact with myself', (this is beginning to sound more and more like 'TV-shoppen') I am more assured of what I am, what I think and what I believe. Fantastic, that! ;)

But yes, I'm back in Denmark and am glad to be so. My plans now are to get a job until February when I'll start in the army for four months after which I'll have time to complete a bachelor's degree in something before applying for the Police Academy. [smile] Sounds very tidy, doesn't it?`
