... to put it in words

But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself

This resonates with me on more then one level, though maybe not so much in the way Nietzsche meant it. I feel especially good these days, dynamic and confident, even though not everything goes as I would like it to all of the time.

I am beginning to realize more clearly where I was wrong in the past, and I hope I'll be able to handle myself better when it comes to confront my ego and my desires with the people around me, especially those I care about.

On the other hand I'm becoming more ruthless when it comes to being treated unfairly, or otherwise crossed. Compromises in the big choices I have to make concerning my life are less and less likely to work for me - and I actually enjoy this. It makes me feel unattached, independent and in control.

Speaking of desires, I already have some ideas of ways to put all my work and it's results into things that are important for me. For now, traveling comes first, I can't wait to finish with the apartment and start gathering some money on the side for some serious trips. I feel very strongly about this, and, along with the fact that I am very passionate about my work (and the shift I'm giving it makes it even more exciting) it nurtures me everyday.
