Traveling

It was hard to grasp what was happening. I was on a shoestring. I was traveling through Europe. It was hard to see what I would do with what little money I had left. Thankfully my girlfriend at the time lent me some money. But was it perfect? Sometimes lending money to a partner can be problematic. I don’t know my point, but sometimes it causes a strain unless there is a good reason. I was stuck. It was time to go home but was I willing to go home? I know it’s selfish, but sometimes despite everything, you have to do what you have to do and take a stab in the dark. It was the same when I was in India. I was 18 at the time, and I had a road accident. It was terrifying at first, but I had booked a 6-month trip there. In my mind, I was staying. I should have gone home, or so that’s what a lady who came to see me said to me. I was alone and scared, but I searched for answers, and I wasn’t leaving until I found them. Again it sounds selfish, but staying is the best thing I did. I found answers to my questions. Going through Europe had its drawbacks, definitely, but the chances of having a bad time again were low. Could I stay there forever? I contemplated to myself. Slovenia really spoke to me. They have a delightful dessert there called kremšnita, it’s like a crème brûlée but in a cake form. I used to have it for breakfast there. Listening to my heart was the thing I was good at. Traveling proved that with my heart, I could achieve anything. And how many times have I followed that with conviction?
