Dear Sofie,
Your answer is wonderful. I’ve really struggled with some parts of this project but this exchange, this is what I was hoping for when I started this. To be that self aware and search for little snippets of happiness in others and their projects, that is in my eyes a worthy pursuit of happiness. Although, it is not my place to define the worthiness of such pursuits. To be conscious of someone else’s expansion of happiness through art or music is very similar to my idea of happiness. Genuine emotion is a huge part of my definition because there is no room to be shy or stop yourself from swearing when you are completely overwhelmed with emotion.
I can’t thank you enough for answering my question and helping me out. I’ll miss you when I go overseas but I know you’re rooting for me to do this and it is something I need. Travel is an undeniable freedom and I hope to be thoroughly cast in the deep end with this first solo trip. How did you manage Laos with the language barrier? Did you speak English?
I’ll send you a post card. I’m not sure how reliable these jungle mail men are but it’ll find its way to you, somehow.
