Nine months ago I made the decision to move to Croatia. It was always something that I had wanted to do and finally made the move. Of course, it doesn't come without it's apprehension. I moved here at the age of 28 years old. I was scared that I was doing this at a rather old age since most people travel around in their early to mid twenties. I mean, really, what is a 28 year old single girl doing moving to a foreign country? While it helps that I have family in Croatia and have spent many summers here, it's still a big move for me. Throughout the past nine months I have had moments where I stopped and thought, "what the hell am I doing???? I had a really great life in California with lots to do and an amazing group of friends, why did I just give that all up?" Of course, once I calm myself down, I remember why...It was a choice that I had to make. If I didn't do this, I would have always regretted it. One of my favorite quotes is, "I would rather regret the things that I have done, than the things I have not." That's how I have always wanted to live my life. It's the kind of person I am and will always be. Some don't understand it, but it doesn't matter. I am who I am and this is a path I needed to take...not in the Eat Pray Love way where I'm sitting here looking for inner peace. It's more of the, what kind of trouble can I get myself in to if I go down that path, kind of way. So far, it's been quite a ride and who knows what will happen next. Whatever it is, I know that it will just add to the story of my life. What can I say, I'm up for anything! I only have this one life, so I better make it worthwhile.
Loooove it! So glad you're blogging and also love that you're on blogspot too!
ReplyDeleteTraveling across the world to start a new life is a great decision. My suspicion is that if more people had the means to do it, they probably would.
