thoughts 

I started the journey of my life in December 2013.

I didn't have a clue of where I was gonna be and what my eyes were going to see, for 8 months of traveling, I've learned so much, I've discovered the outside and the inner world of myself.

Along the way I met wonderful and amazing people, heard a lot of opinions,  had some heart to heart talks, With the most pessimistic people to the optimistic or the ones that just lost their way.

 

I enjoyed listening to what is going on in a person's mind, how they are dealing with situations in life.

Some of them went through hard and difficult times, some of them less, but despite all that, they were still optimistic, compare to what I was,

Back then, I used to make a big deal out of everything, no matter what it was.

when I heard those people and their stories I felt admiration, but still, I didn't understand where they were getting those powers from.

I didn't know what in the hell was optimistic, what happiness or being happy meant, does it depend on something, is it continuous or will it stop??     

For a long time, while I was traveling I tried to figure out what was going on with me, why is it so hard for me to decide things in my life, why can't I do what I really want to do and why the fuck I´m so scared of situations that didn't even happened yet.

 

Even though I was traveling and most of the time I was relaxed, something inside of me went crazy, something told me that I must understand that I needed to be strong, that I had to believe...

 

While you are traveling you meet people that don't have a lot in their life, people that live in a house made from mud and straw, children walking barefoot where you are walking with boots on.

Most of them had no showers, just buckets, water was a valuable necessity, but somehow just somehow, those people were always happy, their smile was something I never saw before, their eyes smiled instead of their lips.

 

When you see that kind of situations you say to yourself, how can it be that people who are so poor, feel so good, so happy, where is it coming from?? I wanted to feel as happy as they were, To be happy from what I have, I just didn't know how.

 

Now, when I look back, I realize that those people were just positive to their situation, they were happy for what they had, they didn't look at the empty glass, Like most of us are doing, and in my opinion their glass was full to the top.

They felt good with what they had, they just lived, the gift of life was already given to them, the rest was extras.

I guess the people we think that has nothing, realize some things that we have failed to understand yet.

 

Today, after all I went trough, after what I saw, felt, sensed, I have learned to see life a little bit different, I have learned new things about myself, about my life, about my surroundings, so now I can say that everything started thanks to the trip!!
