New things, new ideas and the taste of freedom, letting me choose whatever option comes along, while living bold and brave, fighting the path of life. Arriving back to Canada, finally becoming my home, settling down and for the first time in a while, seeking for something more permanent. Which I, swore to myself – I would never do. But after 5 or 8 months of constant traveling, moving around and living out of my suitcase, this settle down thing finally feels good. It feels like a new challenge, just another path in life that will take me to where I need to be to feel safe and happy. And get inspired. Definitely new, definitely scary. But have I ever been scared before that much that I’d quit something I’m that passionate about? Of course not.
Not this time either.
First, I’ve seen this big step out there in the future, always building my life around it as if I were to avoid it. It was not like me, trying to avoid problems… but it was like my conscious mind worked things around so I could keep traveling more and keep postponing the date I would actually start taking life seriously.
Pleased to say, it feels good when I finally took things into my hands and started making decisions. I started to apply for my permanent residency and couple days ago, we signed a lease on the best house with the best view, with one of my best friends. This whole family weekend (the holiday in BC) has been sunny, filled with positive energy and positive thinking, we focused on what’s good – we got the house… I landed some projects and came with new ideas. I felt inspired and happy.
I’m also pretty excited to announce that I’ve been trying to change some of my routines and foods that I eat, as well as the things I buy and materials I use.
I’ve always been aware that I can’t take the one-time plastic bags at the grocery store, and I’ve been saying now to the plastic straws for a long time now! As well as (proudly saying) composting everything from the kitchen and using it for the soil in the spring. So yes, I’ve been a pretty good girl.
But I still wanted to do more.
There’s so much happening to our planet, the climate changes, amounts of plastic waste in the ocean, animals dying, and much more! I mean, when was the last time you took a walk on the beach or in the park, and it was perfectly cleaned up? It’s becoming a rare thing, let me tell you that. When I was living in Bali, the grossest thing ever was going surfing after the rain. I would paddle and grab plastic bags with my hands, my friends would get sick because of all the trashy water we were all swallowing. It was bad.
And as we think about it, many people might say; well what is my intake in this? What can a small individual like me even do about the situation we got ourselves in? A lot. Everything. If each one of use changes a
I have also recently discovered the Natboo Toothbrushes! Sustainable, easy compostable, vegan and made from bamboo, their products are the products of the future. And essentially, the best plan for the survival of our planet. Before this, I haven’t been using much of bamboo products, except the straws from my friend’s company, Eco-You from Germany. And it feels good, because every little step and daily choice we make, will affect us all.
Now, we just need to make sure it’s going to be a positive one 😉
And I figured – it’s what I need in life. To be productive, to feel safe and to enjoy. I need to feel inspired and happy to create, help and push myself! Cheers to new decisions.
