YOU MOVE ME
What are YOU passionate about??
As I get all set to hit the open road again, there have been some questions banging around inside my head. Here it is in a nutshell: Do I move around a lot because I LOVE it and am just a nomad at heart? Or am I just running away from myself…
Since I was a little girl I’ve always been restless. My dad used to get so frustrated with me, asking, “Can’t you just ever stay home?”
But no. I cannot. And I’m not sure why. There is just something so enticing about getting out in the world and exploring. I remind myself that there have been “explorer-types”, adventurers and pioneers since the beginning of time. Is that what I am? One of those “types”? Or am I just Attention Deficit Disorder, and simply get bored too easily?
Frankly I don’t care. After mulling it over for a few days, wondering if it was something I should even be concerned about, I finally decided it just doesn’t matter. I don’t care how I appear to others (flighty, unstable…) or what they think of me (crazy, unpredictable…). All that matters is that I am happy with me, and the choices I make and the life I live.
And that I am. No doubt.
What is YOUR bliss, your joy? What could you spend your time doing that you just get lost in it… even forgetting to eat, or sleep?
DO THAT.
