2592000 Seconds


A month is 30 days, 720 hours, 43200 minutes or 2592000 seconds. About a third of all those minutes and seconds you’re either asleep or have no idea of what you’re doing.
I’m in Thailand for a month. I’m in Thailand for one and a half week more.

I’m in Thailand for another 15840 minutes and I don’t know where all my time went.

Where did my minutes go? People say time flies by when you are having fun. I have loads of fun. But still.. I need more minutes.
Coming to Koh Chang again is amazing. It’s like coming home. It’s 30 degrees, the sun is shining and the water is warm. And you actually don’t need to do anything.
We did go to Klong Plu waterfalls, went to the Grand Lagoona and had bbq brunch at a friend’s house. And I did burn my nose. I do stuff, but I don’t need to.

In a way I miss home. I miss my friends. I miss my job and I miss my apartment. I miss all those small things you don’t think about when you’re actually back home living it. But home is always there.

When I leave Koh Chang it’s going to be a whole year of missing something you don’t know if you’re coming back to. I’m gonna miss all those people you’ll never see again. The people that became your family a few weeks in paradise. The people you keep mailing telling them you’re going to visit them.

And all you have back home is a red nose, peeling skin and a bunch of out of focus pictures of you and you’re family drinking a bucket with five straws and a happy smile.
It’s strange to be going home. It’s strange not to be at home. It’s a really annoying thing to have a red nose.

Once I fell in love with this island. I’m falling in love again. But in one and a half week I’m going to fall in love with Gothenburg again. My nose is going to be normal and I’ll be texting my family on the Face. But until then..
I’m gonna keep doing nothing. Keep riding my bike. Keep sunscreening my red nose and keep falling in love with Koh Chang.

Life is a filthy whore and I just paid her of. I am Charlie! I am living the life. I am the rednosed motherfucker in the land of buckets and sunshine.
