I Lost My Key to Peace & Happiness but I Found Something In Between

Have you ever felt this desperate need inside your mind that doesn’t let you take a breath in peace?

I have been feeling this itch inside my head for quite a while now.

I feel exposed to say this but I have been beating myself, questioning everything, and somehow my self-doubts came rushing back. I have no idea how did I reach this place. But the past two months have been like this where I was fighting against myself, questioning myself, and picking up myself again just to kick myself down the drain.

Okay, I know I am sounding confusing and stupid but here is the thing:

I am a big fan of slow and intentional living. I have big dreams. I want to travel the world while knowing in my heart that no matter how hard I try or how fast I run, I wouldn’t be able to travel the entire world. However, if I plan things and work my way up intentionally, I will be able to travel to the places that own my heart.

And I believe this holds true in every area of life whether it is traveling or career-wise. You cannot become everything at once, no matter how hard you try or how many hours you work in a day, right?

Past Me:
