Hello again and welcome to 2021! Now that I have summed up the quite eventful last years in my last blog post I guess we can focus on what's important, the future. Something we all constantly think about. "What is now matters" and "live in the moment" are very important quotes to live by, at least for some time. I myself have done so for quite a long time. We know we're young and we can afford to be reckless and make the life we have worth it. To be honest it's great to live with an "I don't care" attitude and to just let yourself go with the flow of what comes your way. Actually it is exactly what we need to do before we can know what our future is gonna be.
When I arrived at Sydney Airport, about two and a half years ago, basically ready to become what ever this next year was gonna make me, I had just graduated and to be honest had always felt a bit lost in myself and not really fulfilled in who I wanted to be. So when I entered that hostel that autumn morning I felt like I was closer to finding myself than ever. Nervous to let go of all the anxiety of leaving my comfort zone and just go wild for the year, letting myself experience anything that could bring me closer to simply ME.
What I really found out that year was that ME was already there, I had just not been able to see that. The people I met, the places I saw, the beautiful, stressful and crazy good times I had, all of that made me see that who I was, was already there and it was what had always made me who I was.
THE THING THAT CHANGED was that I was actually able to let it all out, to just personality wise explode for a few months. To make mistakes that showed me where I had certain weaknesses, to accomplish things to see what my strength was, to form beautiful connections that still show me till today that who is around you and where you position yourself is what gives you the surrounding comfort to actually BE the person you are.
So yeah, Australia actually did help me to be myself by simply letting me find the atmosphere, the energy, the vibe where I was confident to actually live as ME. And now anywhere I go I have exactly that, the right vibe :) That was Living for me, For the moment, Every second I was living For the Present, and I needed that, it was good and I don't regret it.
Everyone, give yourself time to live only for you, you need a time to just find that confidence inside of you to then proceed living and building your future. Some may take less time than others, well some, I took a year in Australia and one in London and am now finally at a point where I feel like I'm the person that can focus on my future and start living for what comes tomorrow. Now that we are already three days into 2021, I am sure that the coming 362 days I will be Living for Tomorrow.
I know that life is different for everyone but if I can give you one piece of advise for the new year, it would be to give yourself the comfort of taking time for yourself. Find a way of retrieving that atmosphere, that vibe, that community that will let who you are shine. Because when you shine you can grow and you will know that what you are, is what you can build your future on.
