Dream come true

I went to the city with a friend for coffee. Walking back from there, I noticed lines of poetry written on the wall with my favorite typewriter font:

discovered

myself

dreaming

of moments

what

now

are here


And so it was. I was living the (writer’s) life I had always dreamed of.

Unistus hetkedest


Käisin Rotermanni kvartalis sõbrannaga Röstis kohvil. Sealt minema jalutades märkasin seinale mu lemmikfondiga tehtud luuleridu:

avastasin

end

unistamast

hetkedest

mis 

praegu 

ongi käes

Ja nii oligi. Ma elasin just seda (kirjaniku)elu, millest kunagi unistasin.

Porsche

I've developed some funny personal sign systems over the years - like when my right ear is not hearing well, it's a reminder to dream big(ger). One such morning I went for a walk with the dog, and as I was coming from the park, there was a gorgeous white Porsche convertible with a red retractable roof at the end of the road.
And I had just thought that, considering the development of apps that make renting a car increasingly easy, there is no longer any need to own a car when living in the city center - if at all, then perhaps only some wonderful collectibles that I really, really like and whose value tends to grow over time. This Porsche convertible was the first car I had in mind. The signs point to the most joyful path.

Porsche
Mul on aastate jooksul välja kujunenud mõned naljakad isiklikud märgisüsteemid - näiteks kui mu parem kõrv jukerdab, siis see on mulle meeldetuletus, et unista suure(ma)lt. Ühel sellisel hommikul läksin koeraga jalutama ja pargist tulles seisis tee lõpus imeilus valge Porsche kabriolett punase allalastava katusega.
Ja ma olingi just mõelnud, et CityBee, Bolti ja teiste toredate autorenti järjest lihtsustavate äppide arengut arvestades ei ole enam mingit vajadust kesklinnas elades ise autot omada - kui üldse, siis ehk ainult mõnda imelist kollektsioneerimisobjekti, mis väga-väga meeldib ja mille väärtus ajas pigem kasvab. See Porsche kabriolett oligi esimene, mis mul mõttes oli olnud. Märgid näitavad kõige rõõmuküllasemat teed.

Life after love

I was thinking about my relationship and giving up… and then I heard my old favorite song from school years, Cher's song with the words “Do you believe in life after love?” first in a coffee shop and then the next day in a taxi! 
Yes, I believe. And the end of a relationship doesn't have to mean the end of love.

Elu pärast armastust
Mõtlesin oma suhte üle ja sellest loobumisest… ja siis kuulsin oma vana kooliaegset lemmikut, Cheri lugu sõnadega “Kas Sa usud ellu pärast armastust?” kõigepealt kohvikus ja siis järgmisel päeval ka taksos!
Jah, ma usun. Ja suhte lõpp ei pea tähendama armastuse lõppu.

Don't search

Haven't you sometimes felt that your ex's new girlfriend is too much like you?
I remembered some such examples when I saw a picture of a beautiful woman with the text: "Stop looking for me in everyone you meet, angels never come twice." Of course, I doubt the latter - sometimes they come. They are angels after all. :)

Ära otsi
Kas Sulle pole mõnikord tundunud, et Su eksi uus tüdruksõber on kahtlaselt Sinu moodi?
Mõni selline lugu meenus mulle, kui nägin pilti kaunist naisest tekstiga: “Lõpeta minu otsimine kõigis, keda Sa kohtad, inglid ei tule iialgi kaks korda.” Viimases ma muidugi kahtlen - mõnikord tulevad. Nad on ju ikkagi inglid. :)

The most enjoyable holiday

I passed through nearby town, a bit bored and tired after the trip to Turkey that ended a few days earlier. Thoughts about of what is the po...
