What you're about to read is a literal excerpt from my handwritten notebook. I'm in the in-between moment in my life. The adventure has started, but it really hasn't yet. I'm balancing so many unfinished things with work, school, and relationships + regular mundane daily stuff. This is an honest reflection of where I'm at. I hope you'll find at least one truth from this which is true for you, too.
I'm grateful. I'm scared. I'm loved. All three are true at the same time. I've failed at some things and yet succeeded at so many others. I'm learning to let go of the failures and setbacks in the sense of not letting them hold me back any longer. I'm committed to living in the moment. I have NO idea how I'll manage living in a foreign country, in an RV, balancing my work, university, and a dog. Yet I know that I will. And I still reckon it is one of the top-great decisions of my life. So far. I'm even excited to decorate my RV. Me! The person who bought an apartment and didn't do anything like that during the first 3-4 years I lived there.
I'm excited about the mountains, and nature, and the people + places I'm yet to see. I'm excited to start a blog + a youtube channel. I'm excited to move towards something I've dreamt of. I don't have all the puzzle pieces yet, but I bet it'll all work out for good. Also, the desire within me to share my honest story and genuinely help people with theirs - hasn't faded. Tho the projects take time and there's a lot of waiting involved, I have faith there's a way. I just don't know what it is, yet. I'll keep on moving and I'm certain it works out. Why? Coz it always has! Every single one of those gut feelings is there for a reason. And I'm learning to trust it. I'm also learning to block out other people's fears they often project on me. I'm learning not to reason with their fears. I simply don't have to. And it's a liberating truth. I'm also learning to take care of my health + body + body image. I'm learning to put aside hurtful comments and focus on the good. I'm learning not to carry everybody else's weight + not to try and fix everyone. I'm responsible for myself. And well, my dog. But that's it. I'm fully open to being as blessed as I've never been before. I'm open to being loved and loving on others. I'm open to new friendships that'll last a lifetime. I'm grateful. And I'm loved. And so are you!
Blogs more in tune with prep work for the adventures are coming up soon! I'll share my failures and hick-ups on the way and also the good that's happening. Also, what would a blog be without a sweet photo of Elli on a hike? So, I'll add a few totally out-of-context pics! :)
Talk to you soon!
