Recently
I have started to re-evaluate my life. It may be because of the start of the
new year or due to the fact that I just turned 21 and had a sort of
"twenties freak-out", but I have really started to try and figure out
what life is all about. I've reached a point where I've realised that I want to
find out what my true passions are and that I want to fight for what I want. Do
more of what I love. Get things done and stop leaving things for some other
time.
I have come to terms with the fact that
we are never going to be younger than what we are right now and that the
past and the future are worthless if we are unable to thoroughly live the present. So, I've decided that I'm done
with writing to do lists for my goals and my aspirations and that instead, I am
going to start ticking out those boxes for once.
I have been taking some time to think
about what things truly make me happy and complete so that I can embrace them
and do more of them, whilst pushing aside any fears that may want to stop me
along the way. And the reason why I'm writing this post today is because I have
found that one of those things that honestly satisfies me, is travelling.
Discovering new places and their beauty
amazes me and makes me hungry for more. There is something about being
somewhere you don't know and just letting go. Letting go of stress and worries
and just freeing yourself in order to absorb the energy that the unknown
radiates. Absorb the light, the smells, the feelings, the new tastes... And it
is then, and only then, once I am able to discover the beauty of these places
and people, that I am able to discover a little more about me too.
This is why I felt like sharing with
you some bits from my last summer holidays in Croatia, a place that surprised
me in the most pleasant way and that I would honestly recommend. With this post
I want to start a series of memoirs
about any new places where I travel to, which will hopefully be many more, and
inspire you along the way.
Love,
