You have time to develop, dwell in your own mind and go a bit mad. All great people are a bit mad. That’s good to remember. Don’t escape it. Great growth comes from time spent in foreign lands, watching foreign people with foreign cultures. It makes you forget about your own land and race and town for a while. Great growth also comes from rooting yourself into one place from time to time. Unpack your bags, get a nice bed, a book shelf, some friends. Learn to show up, keep in touch, stick around. Growth comes in all sort of forms and shapes, everywhere at all times, and it’s yours to take and consume. Do what ought to be done. Here and now, to get you somewhere — anywhere.","author":"Charlotte Eriksson","tags":["advice","art","cultures","develop","developing","foreign-lands","growing","growth","inspiration","learning","life-advice","living","loneliness","lonely","mad","mind","motivation","self-development","self-growth","solitude","travel","writers-life"],"id":29078,"author_id":"Charlotte+Eriksson"},{"text":"Do you have any idea how mad you sound?’‘Indeed I do.
