Art of letting go

Since getting health scare I was thinking more than actual writing, although most of the time I wasn't exactly productive, more like contemplating on various things I always wanted to do and thought I will but actually never did. Probably it's no surprise that when person gets really sick, only then he or she starts actually acting.
I think humanity is sick as well. Scary how much cruelty is going on nowadays – Ebola virus and some stupid people letting infected ones from hospital, Russians being Russians again and attacking other nations, United States of America in general being stupid and cruel. Good thing that less and less people are reproducing. While aging is quite enormous issue of nowadays society with more and more elders being supported by just one working person with people polluting nature, killing earth other without any reason, security decreasing and social media taking over normal human relationships I believe it's good that at least people close to me will have no kids to experience it.
Happiness is small thing and sometimes it cannot be others. Recently moves out to new flat (finally after 8 months of sharing room with two guys I have my own room!) which is right next to beautiful park and I finally feel like I have place there in Brno. Even after more than year and half there were no real sense of stability before as I wasn't satisfied with my job and living arrangements and now it changed. As we spend most of out time in job and home I believe it's very important to adapt to our needs. I was lucky enough to finally find job I really enjoy and find a room I really like.
This summer was kind slow and quiet here in Brno with weather being unusually cold, windy and rainy. I can count sunny and warm days on my fingers (well, including toes), so there's no as much crazy memories as last summer. If last summer most of days were spend in the sandbox in main city square, this summer it was way too cold for that. Also, inevitable happened – most of people I spend my last summer with left the country. And making new friends is not easy task, especially for immigrant. Since I’m still learning language, I would say I still live in kinda social bubble with most of my friends being foreigners and well, some of then don't need stability that much. While one is young (s)he wants to see and experience as much as possible and sometimes I feel weird as I don't have such need. I like traveling and learning new stuff, but much slower. I don't seek replacement, maybe that's the reason I don't adapt very fast.
Recently I tried to watch more movies as before I spent lots of time reading books. Seems this summer is kinda slow for good stuff. Last good one is saw was 'The fault in our stars' and I will remember it as i'm not desperate to be remembered myself.
