What do you feel when you see the video below, and remember these times?
:''Often I was alone, yet somehow I imagined that somehow there where people I shared this with, that where out there, at the same moment, feeling the same feelings ? Yet at the same time, paradoxically, I knew very well what I was aiming for, which lead me to be on the road in the first place.
Yet at the same time, paradoxically, I knew very well what I was aiming for, which lead me to be on the road in the first place. :''The trajectory becomes aimless, to me, when I forget or loose faith, or can not see the next step, despite having a broad picture and a good understanding of what I personally want to create, but somehow felt I can not create by myself. ''
Staying on the move, accessing stimulation, accessing encounters, yet being in a state of "in between" most of the time. In between these few moments of "having tea with someone".
 
 
==Video==
It's like the "warm" part of hitchhiking. What you see when you hitchhike during the day, after waiting a few hours outside in the cold, knowing that in half an hour, at the next [[petrol station]], you may wait for another few hours. It might well be that one falls asleep, or does not feel like getting off at the next petrol station, just going wherever the driver goes as to sleep a bit more and stay warm.

[[User:Dante|Dante]] co-incidentally found the video on Youtube. It is made within an art project by Dutch artist Edwin Stolk: [http://www.edwinstolk.nl/aimlesstrajectory.htm "AIMLESS TRAJECTORY", A maneuver within the enemy's field of vision].
:The dérive was a course of preparation, reconnaissance, and a means of shaping situationist psychology among urban explorers for the eventuality of the situationist city.

:In an essay and book of the same title, Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity (1995), Marc Augé coined the phrase "non-place" to refer to places of transience that do not hold enough significance to be regarded as "places". Examples of a non-place would be a motorway, a hotel room, an airport or a supermarket

Burnout, is about not enough. Being burned out means feeling empty, devoid of motivation, and beyond caring. People experiencing burnout often don’t see any hope of positive change in their situations.
...
While you’re usually aware of being under a lot of stress, you don’t always notice burnout when it happens.
