RE: I'M A NOMAD: THIS IS WHY I CHOOSE TO HAVE NO HOME!
Feel this on so many levels. It can be really challenging sometimes to spend so much time away from friends and family especially in my case where I feel like I have experienced a lifetime of things just to come back to people who have been doing the same thing. Obviously there is nothing wrong with those who are content with living their lives like this. If anything sometimes I wish I could be happy with simplicity. I'm sure just like your mother, mine would appreicate having me at home more often but I usually find after a while I have this weird feeling of disconnect from those around me because I can't full translate what I have experienced through my travels to them. Also city life feels quite stagnant to me and I am always seeking new energy and direction, overall travelling makes me feel closer to myself and closer to the world around me because I am actually living it and experiencing it. My mum still gets sad about it but I think she can really appreicate that I'm living a life that I love and genuinely makes me happy. Just make the most of the moments with the people you love when you get that chance. 💚
Hail the goer. I travel everyday in many ways, past my boundaries to know myself more. To know my soul, to know what I am. I don't get to physically travel as much as @neeqi, @jacksonsgroves or @dashie but when I hear you all talk about getting out to know the rest of the human family and your limits, I know the feeling. I like to go pass boundaries, in the healthiest manner, I love water fasting with close friends out in nature. I feel like this soul searching brings me more to offer my old friends and family, if anyone else believes eternity of all our interactions as a factor? I wish all individuals would know this thrill. Perhaps the world will change all the more to value these things- in our societies structure as more of us are professional content creators. A professional you. Anyhoo.... Feeling it, upvoted & followed for certain!
It's good to remember that you don't always need to travel to connect with yourself on a deeper level. Sometimes travelling helps us receive a new perspective but all that you experience on the road can be something that you can cultivate at any time in your life. You just have to be open to it. And it would be amazing for all individuals to understand the benefits of self development but at the end of the day a good place to start is with yourself and all the positives that you experience will ripple out towards the people around you and hopefully impact them in the same way. Its kind of like a domino affect you know. :)
Yes, the butterfly effect. I do take regular hiatus from old things, family, friends, parts of myself. Even though they are only an hour away. 😊
Taking a step back is always an important part, even just for a short time. It seems like you are in a good place my friend! 💛
Haha, takes one to know one!
