Today is your 20th birthday
And this is one of my presents to you
It is a travel diary
But besides my text
There is not a lot of written
So, from now on
You are the writer of this book
It does not matter where you write about
If it is one huge trip
A few small ones
Or everything mixed up
Just make sure
That the book is alive
Pictures, stickers, maps, texts
Decorate it, use colours
Make it alive
And it does not matter
Whether you are on adventure with me
Others
Or alone
Just show or write down
What inspired you
The places you have been to
The things you have done
And the people you have met
Show me
The rest of the world
And yourself
That you are alive
Because that is the main reason why
I am giving you this book
The world around us is amazing Carmen
The nature, people, culture
And although
Life is unfair sometimes
We should not blame
The beauty of the world for it
We should feel alive
We have dreams to make them come true
Feel alive Carmen
