Life in an amusement park

Round 'n round

Carousel

Has got you under it's spell

Moving so fast...but

Going nowhere

(Norah Jones - Carnival Town)

I have entitled my blog lifecarouselle and posted the song by Norah Jones long before I knew I was going to work for three months in an amusement park called Morey's Piers. Wildwood, New Jersey is where I spent all the summer of 2010, and Morey's Piers is the place where I met the most interesting people from all over the world.

Working in the park, having fun in all the rides,parties over parties, no worries and no future prospects to consider, just getting into the dazzling rhythm of the moment, that is what the life in an amusement park meant to me.

Everything was moving fast, there was always something new happening, some new people to meet... friendships, crushes, all moving with an increasing speed, just like the whirpool of a carouselle. You fly off the ground while in a carouselle, you lose your sense of ballance, you feel dizzy, yet excited. We flew off the ground during summer too, losing connection with our homes and going with the flow. Ouw world became the park and the ocean, and three months felt like a lifetime.

There was craziness, happiness excitement, but there was also goodbye. The carouselle is spinning in circles, it does not go anywhere. We have been spinning the same way, losing ourselves through the ride, but every ride had an end...

The carouselle does not go anywhere, it spins until it stops.

Summer left us, and we left the park. We left our world to go to our worlds...
