Leaving Scotland On My Terms. Not to Run Away.
Leaving Scotland last May I was a guy in a lot of pain, not so much leaving but more like running away.
I’m leaving Scotland again, but on my terms.
Although I had a challenging time over Christmas and New Year. This last week has really proved to me again how much I love Scotland and that I can actually be happy here.
I wouldn’t go as far as saying I am sad to be leaving Scotland, I’m too excited and optimistic about the year ahead and my own personal goals.
But I’m definitely very emotional and unlike last time, I’m leaving a country which I am madly in love with.
I’ve realised recently that my long term future does lie in Scotland, I love and care for this country too much to settle permanently anywhere else.
If you told me right now I somehow couldn’t leave and compete my challenge, and I instead had to stay here I’d be perfectly happy with that.
I’ve got huge plans and ideas for my future in this country which I could start a few years ahead of schedule.
But that’s not the case and I am leaving again for now.
Scotland isn’t going anywhere and all of those dreams can wait a few more years.
The current challenge I’m facing and the journey it is taking me on is all part of the big plan to grow into the person I want to become and the legacy I want to leave behind.
As much as I love to live my life just one day at a time, I also pull from the other extreme of thinking 20–30 years into the future.
But it’s not the future, the time is now.
It’s time to resume the wee challenge of cycling around the world.

Let’s do this
