Just before Christmas I returned to South Florida after three months trekking across Mexico.
And to be honest, i was pretty worn down.
Exploring a foreign country was incredible, but constantly being on the go in a place I didn’t speak the language became physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausting. So, when i got back, i just stared at my bags for a while - taking stock of my entire life in a couple pieces of luggage - and I was just tired.
All i wanted to do unpack my bags for a change, settle in for a while, and recharge my batteries. And that’s exactly what I’ve done the last month.
I took a break from social media and exploring strange places, and just took it easy for once. I’ve spent my time with family and close friends. time to focus on my projects. and time to be alone. reflecting, and catching my breath.
I realized it’s okay to take a break sometimes ✨
We are all constantly on the go, running from one thing to the next. glued to our phones. slave to our emails. Giving our time to anyone and everyone but ourselves. It never stops.
Life can truly be exhausting at times. It drains us. And it’s okay to just hit pause, reflect, and reset.
I’ve reflected on what’s important to me. My priorities, my dreams, and my plans for the future. And how to chase after what excites me without constantly running myself down.
So, here i am, a month later, looking down at my my entire life in a couple pieces of luggage - and now i feel quite differently. I no longer feel tired. I no longer feel drained. I am rested, recharged, and ready to hit the road.
It’s time to grab my bags, throw a dart on the map, and get back to doing what i love most:
It’s time for adventure 🙌
