flying also gets a lil exhausting at some point, if I fly too frequently it gets a lil less fun and I’ve been flying more than I used to since 2022.
Celebrating my first full 31 days in Bali!🥳
It’s the first time I stayed this long in another country, hence, a complete existence breakthrough. I’m proud of myself!
The first months of the year was spent going back and forth the Philippines and Indonesia. I was indecisive and I honestly didn’t know what to do at some point, however each time I was in Manila, it seemed like my body was there, yet my whole brain, heart, and soul were in Bali.
It was the first time I ever experienced such intensity, to have a body and not have everything else in it. Sounds entertaining, but that’s how I felt. I worked harder to remain in the present moment to get through the days that I was away. The pull was so great, and I also couldn’t help but notice that every little thing that was happening in Manila was zeroing in on only one choice— and that was to return to Bali.
Even though I was confronting the great unknown, I have never been so aware of how the events were unfolding.
It hasn’t been a breeze.
As I was telling Sarah, to “let go” is the first lesson I have repeatedly learned. I assumed I have learned it once, yet no, it occurs again and again. I have to constantly let go as I tend to stick on to things that I’m already accustomed to— comfortable and safe. In the beginning, it was about having these easier things within arm’s reach, however, in order to learn how to navigate a completely new territory other than going on vacation, I have to break free from these familiar comforts: my own country’s currency, knowing exactly where to get stuff and trusted basic services; and not having to think about Visa and immigration rules. Although, having a Visa is way more economical than flying frequently. I never thought I’ll ever say this, but flying also gets a lil exhausting at some point, if I fly too frequently it gets a lil less fun and I’ve been flying more often than I used to since 2022.
It’s a totally different story and there’s been tons of challenges— but yes, I do see them as opportunities necessary for growth and for the next phase of my life, which is NOW.
It’s just actually recently that I get to “unwind” for real and I must be thankful for the choices that I made for myself.
