Loneliness

This week was full of strange thoughts that distract me from reality. after my week of in Chicago with my friend ( by the way I had a great time there ) and in one of the conversation we had , she wondered why I'm always alone. she told me she could not understand why someone so open and nice like me haven't got into a relationship and I told her maybe I'm too complicated or am not wide open to show how I feel. she asked me. have u ever been in love before? ( I would be lying if i deny it ) I told her that I don't really know. I have lots of friends but for an unknown reason when I start interesting in someone that person just goes away or disappear. I thought was me but she didn't believe that. Maybe I got to know that person very well to open my heart. she also asked "do you feel good being alone all the time? u know , waking alone in the morning , having breakfast alone. I know you're not living with your parent but you are always surrounded with friends and go out often but what about at the end of the day? have you ever yearning with someone by your side at night?

what she told me had a great weight , because I never thought about that before until know. in my way back my eyes were on the road but my mind were resonating her words and for the first time I felt alone. riding my car with no one in the passenger seat , without that special one, the one you can talk all day long and you'll never get bored. I mean. what's the point of live the life in a great and comfortable way if you don't have someone to share it?

I don't know if someone reads this or not but if you have someone special by your side , tell her/him every time you can how much she/he means to you. loneliness is really painful..................

Fowler Ridge Wind Farm

A friend of mine who lives in Chicago Illinois invited me to go there, after my promotion i got a week off so i decided to accept her invitation. tried to invite some friends to make the trip but anyone was avaliable :( so i got my baggage and start the 16 hours trip ( suppose to be around 14 hours trip but some areas of partial toll roads slow the traffic ) Anyway when I was driving on I-65 crossing Indiana at the very end of Lafayette county I saw windmills spreading in every direction across the flat landscape of corn fields.

Is very rare ( I would say impossible ) to see windmills here in the south so this was something new for me. so I stopped the car and take these shots. I could have taken many more but the road's shoulder was too low and traffic runs at 85 MPH so was a little bit dangerous to park my car  in a spot like that

Later in Illinois I asked my friend about the windmills and she told me that was the Fowler Ridge Wind Farm, a partnership between BP Wind Energy and Dominion ( a Transnational Power Company ) which is responsible to power the states of Illinois , Indiana , Ohio and Kentucky.

here are a couple of shots I took from Fowler Ridge Wind Farm

 


 See u back in the South next week :)

Wondering

Today I sat down in my front porch while drinking a cup of tea. last night in a company meeting I got a new position. normally someone who got a better position o achieve a higher goal feels that new and exciting things will come but was not my case. I felt that even I was making progress , this and the rest of my past goals were not making me feel satisfied. I start wondering what should I do to feel that I'm doing things right.
