Half a year is gone.
It’s been pretty challenging, but at the same time very ”normal” and ”busy” time in my life.
But, let’s start from the beginning…
I came back home for Christmas the last year. I felt so happy to see my loved ones, sleep in my bed and finally unpack my backpack. A hot bubble bath was like the best Christmas gift ever and traditional dumplings made by my granny tasted like never before.
In many ways I loved it. After few weeks, I got a 9-5 job, started a ”normal” life and run my blog on a daily basis. I have been keeping myself extremely busy with many tasks, moving to Copenhagen and trying to settle down at one place.
And to be honest with you, I was pretty good at it at first. I had a job, my daily routine and a plan to live a stable life. I became a self-programmed robot, which do things in a certain way. Day in and day out. Aren’t we taught to live this life since birth?
Months passed and my comfort zone become a dangerous place. I felt uncomfortable living inside this comfort bubble. The feeling of sadness and emptiness last way too long. Then, I got to a point where I start to feel deflated and uninspired.
I rememeber the day I cried my eyes out sitting on my matt for the first time in a long time. I felt like I finally found the time and space to sit and process my feelings and thoughts and slowly find the answers.
No matter how far away from yourself you may have strayed, there is always a path back. You already know who you are and how to fulfill your destiny.
I realized how easily and unnoticeably, we may locked ourselves into a comfort zone that keeps us confined and trapped. We stuck in a ”comfortable life” and forget to live the life of freedom. Don’t we? Why bother risking failure when you’re so comfortable?
Today, when I look back, I see myself in a new light. I want to leave the ”perfect” life I created and go forward to meet the life for which I longed.
After a long break from traveling, I letting my adventurous spirit lead the way again. I will immerse myself in new lands and new cultures. I can’t wait to be pushed out of my comfort zone, to experience life in another countries and challenge myself on long treks. Today, I want to take risks, and jump into the unknown. I know that the rewards for moving beyond my comfort zone can be priceless.
At the edge of your discomfort zone you will find your greatness.
And dont get me wrong here. I don’t want to tell you now that traveling is the only way to grow, learn who you are and challenge yourself. There are endless ways to do so, but traveling is my way. For you, can be completely different and that’s great. But, the most important is to have the willingness to live the life you desire. To make an effort to find something in life that makes your eyes sparkle and your heart full.
So, if you still struggle to find the right path in life and experience plenty of self-doubt, please ask yourself what you really want to do in your life. Stop thinking about what your parents want or your friends. What do you really want?
Coming back to my next travels. Where am I going…?
First stop, CANADA! Then…I will wait and see which way the wind will blow…
