Is this what growing up feels like?

Written by:

I always thought about moving to a different corner of the world.
But why did I never think about staying?
“Is it easier to stay? Is it easier to go? I don’t wanna know” ugh I love this song, it’s ‘Easier by 5 seconds of summer’

Maybe it’s the loneliness and anxiety that I’ve experienced these past days that makes me scared to move away.
The duality of my mind is I have
this hunger to explore the world, to try new things, to be in new places, to experience something extraordinary but the other part of me wants to just live somewhere peacefully.
To live in a countryside and live peacefully, maybe have a family.
Ugh I can’t decide.
When I thought about life I always thought about being in a big city, having a good job, a good apartment, a fast life.
But now I also think about life in a more peaceful manner, and yes I do want to explore the world but with the comfort of someplace being a home. I had this realisation when I was travelling for around 3 weeks last year and I desperately missed home but I liked travelling too, it’s such a mixed feeling when you want two things in life at the same time. If only life came with instructions, except it doesn’t and you’ve to figure things out on your own.

Dear reader,

You’ve to figure life out yourself, no one’s going to give you instructions. Don’t be scared to venture out of your comfort zone because that’s how you grow. Take the opportunity, life’s too short. Maybe you’ll regret it, maybe you won’t, it’s for you to experience. Your failures and mistakes they don’t define you and you’re allowed to fuck up in life and try again.
