A Pursuit of Happiness
I told myself it was completely OKAY to feel like this,
after a wedding, a honeymoon… the natural life crash after such a big event. But, then I realised that the lust …. Because that
essentially what it was, was eager and pulling at my heart strings like never
before. When a work colleague poked fun
at my life a few weeks later, I finally snapped - I knew exactly what it was I
needed to do.
And that was to listen to my heart: wander.
And that was to listen to my heart: wander.

My desire most definitely was to travel, whether
it will stay the priority in the years to follow, I don’t know. I know my heart aches for adventure and
freedom. But, I also know work is
dominant in both of our lives, as is time.
I would whole-heartedly describe travel as one of the best
things that ever happened to me. If I had
never dared travel, I wouldn’t have found the answers to a lot of the questions
in my life. I still feel the love of Thailand
in the bottom of my stomach every day, I still feel the warmth of Fiji in my heart
and I know, there is SO much more possibility out there.
If I could teach anyone one thing, it would be this: Follow
your heart, listen to the lust and wander like never before.

Travel really is incredible. It's just so inspirational to get away from your everyday surroundings and experience something totally different. You look so happy in that picture!

ReplyDeleteAah I am desperate to go to Iceland. It's on the list. I totally get the travel thing, I just booked last night for Dublin in April, a 4 night explore with the kids, they're so excited.
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I see I've missed lots so congrats on your wedding x
I've got several friends who would definitely identify with this, as do I! I just haven't gotten to the part where I've left the country for a while, haha. I'm hoping that this year will be different and I can save up and finally do a bit of exploring! Happy New Year Alice! - Tasha
