Hello my dear Steemians!
It's been a while since I made a post...
A lot of new things happened to me while I wasn't writing but still was active here on Steemit because It's such a great community here! I would like to introduce myself to you again as I feel like I'm new person now...
Me in our Garden
As some of you here know I finished my college a year and a half ago and now I'm titled to be mag. ing. techn. graph. or simply said one more graphic designer in a sea of designers looking for a thread to catch.
Graduation Day with proud parents
I'm from Zagreb, the capital of Croatia, a country f**ked up by the thieving government that sold her most precious and now has so many beautiful places without the youth living there as they couldn't find their profit here...
Many of my friends left to find a better life somewhere else and some of my very close family left too...I don't want to leave! I love it here in my little village on the periferal part of the town! The comunity is awesome, Nature is all around us and I call this little piece of Soil, Wood and Rock my Home because I was born and grew up here. I don't want to leave somewhere to be in the same system for the better money. No thanks!
I lived in that system by now...but never felt comfotable. I was pushed in school where they are brainwashing our minds rewarding us for obeying and punishing us if we don't fit their standards... I worked a 9-17 job in an office for 1 full year, behind the closed doors and curtains on windows, put under stressful environment while the Sun was shining and the fresh Wind was blowing outdoors. Every day I rushed home to work in our Garden, our little place of Heaven on Earth! Had time for very few things and wished for so much more. And then I asked myself...is this it? Really? Is this how my life is going to be? No, thanks for that too...
Just visiting my family in Friedrichshafen, Deutschland,
feeling liberated after quitting my job
I'm aware that many people still live this kind of life, feeling trapped but the money they owe to the banks are too big to stop working for the system now... I'm so sorry to see them suffer, but I can't live that life...
No one can separate me from the Mother Nature nor anyone should be separated. I'm too wild for this narrow minded system. My Spirit is too much free to be chained...
In our Wood on my favourite branch :)
I decided to stop working that job or any other job that includes wasting time to travel to somewhere, always having the same routine and the boss that's never satisfied or just had a bad day so you're great for putting up with his rage.
So I have a plan, of course. I want to do what I love doing and what I'm suposed to be doing because it makes me happy and it helps people I am in contact with too. And to tell you this, I wanna do so many things mixed all in one.
I wanna do design still but only for the clients I chose and I find meaningful, I wanna be a permacultural designer too, the one that will design together with my love @crokangaroo a beautiful sustainable places, starting from our own.
Making dreams happen
I want to have time to paint again, to make stuff out of clay, wood etc. And I really feel the calling to be the one that can heal people. I started making homemade cures based on healing local plants and the knowlage of my ancestors. I massage people with aromateraphy, even managed to heal a friend lately with bioenergy.
I practice yoga and aikido on the daily basis and in everyday life. One day I'll be the teacher of these two very simmilar and beautifully combined practice that I developed.
Many people think that they will be happier if they would have more money but I don't think that. I think that the formula for happy life is needing less, being noncomformistic and insuring that you have all you need practicly for free. To need is an interesting word here because what is what we really need? Fresh water, food, shelter and clothing I think.
That's all.
In my next posts I will be telling You all about our permacultural project in which the Garden is currently taking the centar of happening. :)
Thank You for reading,
Namaste

Thanks! Namaste !
Glad to meet you! Also a graphic artist here and been living off grid for 5 years. My only connection is a DSL line that we power with solar to stay online. Living off grid and growing your own food is hard work but very much worth it. We wouldn't live any other way! EVER! :)
Your comment didn't show up in my notifications, but I somehow found it now! :D
Still never too late ...nice to meet you! I'm happy to meet people like you and yes I agree it's hard work but it's what fulfills me and motivates me :D
A big warm Steemit welcome goes out to you Oceansoul. Upvoted and Followed.
Hi! I fond your comment just now :D thank you a lot! Followed back!
I too am very interested in permaculture and look forward to seeing what you do in your garden. :)
Hi, I just found this post :D I'm glad that you're interested in permaculture :D it's the future I believe...
Very great post! I feel the same, i i dont see how chasing money and not developing any personal skill will make your life fulfilling, actually i love my job as a nurse, i had this calling to heal people, i do it with painting as well, but the fucked up system is always in the name of profit, patient care is very diffrent now, most of us forget that we are becoming like mahines and operation machines, but they forget the we have a heart and soul. I feel the same as you do as i left my country to be in california for greater pasteur and i have my family now here, i had to leave as i could not afford to make a living back from where i came from, but everything turned out well. But i see the same trend everywhere i go. Thank you for sharing @oceansoul13
Thank you! And thanks for the comment too! I have the same calling, to heal people but yes, the modern medicine unfortunately has little or non to do with healing...that's why I heal them with yoga, organic (wild) weeds making teas or lotions. But we can heal people with loving them and listening to them. I'm glad to se more and more people are aware of that, including you. We all have our life path, where it takes us we can't know...all we should do is relax and enjoy the ride :D
True, just do our very best to help as much as we can, and sit back and enjoy the ride! I agree
