Experiencing the Journey

Today, exactly two years ago, when I woke up, I had what many would define as everything one needs for a successful life: a beautiful home, a solid and stable relationship with an honest and kind man from a good family, a great work-life balance, with a stable and fair income in an institution that I could stand behind its values. I had also just finished my master's degree - one more diploma in my hands that would take me higher in my professional career and guarantee a higher income in the future.

In the views of our society, the success formula for a happily ever after was set. 

However, little did I know yet that, that day was a turning point and the beginning of an exciting self-discovery journey.

Since then, much has happened. And today, two years later, from the views of society, I'm officially jobless, homeless, and single. And the truth is, I've never felt so good and hopeful about life. 

If I knew before the feeling was this good, I would have jumped into this journey before. But I guess the time was essential to learn everything there was to learn (and continue learning) to make certain decisions and (continue) develop(ing) the necessary mindset.

I'm not saying you should leave your job, nor end your relationship, nor "through everything in the air" (as it might appear from the outside), so you can feel good. But I do highly recommend that every single individual dives deep within -to discover new perspectives, to get out of the comfort zone, to jump into self-knowledge, to dive deep within and look for all those knots inside. Acknowledge them, understand them, and demystify all the lies and limitations we have been telling ourselves. Not work towards perfection, but continuously work towards self-development and know that the only limitation we've got is ourselves.

I have no clue what the upcoming two years will bring me, but I am committed to living them to the fullest, to make every single day count, with new learnings and new experiences, always further opening my eyes and heart, taking myself to paths I haven't crossed before.

Embracing all the ups and downs and taking life in as a full journey experience.
