0653882289 At that time, I didn't know that I wouldn't come back for a very long time. I had no idea what to expect. Well, I was guessing that it would be amazing, but I didn't know that this was the beginning of a new chapter:
"The best time of my life…." Before I left I had everything what I always wanted. I had a fantastic job managing projects in the IT, a comfortable salary, owned a house with my boyfriend, drove an Audi and was surrounded by the bestest friends… I can tell you, I joined the rat race, I’d conformed to society’s expectations, I was 28 years and all I had to do was live the rest of my life… Right!? Yet something kept coming to the forefront of my mind over and over again. After 2 years of this lifestyle the routine had settled in and I started to think…IS THIS IT?? I had 10 hour work days in the name of a promotion or more stuff. I had dinner on the couch watching my favourite everyday show with still one eye on my laptop or phone. And went to bed. Day in, day out. Living for the weekend, where I was still working, but less... IS THIS IT?? I was asking myself this question all too frequently. Maybe I was just being selfish. I must just be going through an ungrateful phase and the appreciation will return, but it didn’t. I had the best time during my studies, after that I went travelling for 9 months and after that I was excited to join, what they call it “the real world”. You give away a bit of your freedom by having a fulltime job and in return you get money. With that money you can afford designer clothes, apple gadgets, eating out half the week, actually I could do whatever I wanted and live the dream.. But there was something, there was a doubt.. that maybe this ‘real world’ wasn’t the right direction for me, that this wasn’t MY dream.. Making a big life change is not easy, it's scary! Especially because I loved my job, I loved my life and everyone and everything in it. But I couldn’t live with asking myself the "IS THIS IT" question all the time and the doubt if the "real world” was, at that time, my thing yes or no.. The thoughts of having regrets later, that I didn’t took the chance was even scarier.. I decided to take the risk, I quitted my job, sold everything I owned, got rid of all the unnecessary insurances and stepped out of my comfort zone in the hope miracles would happen. And they did. In the past years I travelled through 100+ countries, I experienced another way of living, I developed the best of friendships. I tried new (scary) things. Met the most interesting people. Had food I never tasted before. Immersed myself in new cultures. Fell in love. Was curious and looked beyond what was right in front of me. Took risks (a lot of risks). Changed plans. Opened myself up to possibilities. Gained new skills. Kept my heart open and was grateful for every new experience. Didn't judge. Trusted myself. Experienced the overwhelming sense of absolute freedom and discovered the beauty of this amazing world and got lost in its opportunities...
