And as I sat down in a coffee shop right in front of the beach, overlooking the magnificent palm trees and white sand beaches, I asked myself. Which way do I go? I know right after I step through the door of my office I’ll immediately feel in despair, lost, depressed, sad. A feeling I’ve been holding on for years. And I don’t want that burden anymore, I just wanted to let it all go, be free and not think of whatever the outcome of my decisions will be. Sometimes I can be reckless, but jumping off of the cliff without knowing what’s waiting for you down there is electrifying. Before I left the coffee shop, I’ve already came into conclusion of me saying ‘fuck it, I’ll resign’! But believe me when I say, everything went downhill first before I’m in this position right now, writing this spiel and abso-freaking-lutely contented that I did what I did. Tell me, what’s the most petrifying, life changing decisions you had to make before you finally found your happiness? Or have you done it yet?...
I grew up in a place where traveling ain’t much of a thing. Growing up all I’ve wanted was to do good at school, get a degree, provide for my family and have a fruitful life. Every cliché thing a normal person would want in their lifetime. Then shit happens, and I’ve decided to work in Dubai. Nothing comes easy, everything was a challenge and by the grace of God I’ve landed a stable job. Living in Dubai opened my eyes into a lot of things including traveling. I never intended to do solo traveling! I can’t even eat in a restaurant alone, much more go to a complete foreign country ALONE! 😱 Yet miracle happened and the travel bug just bit me. I booked my first ever solo travel on August 2018 to Georgia, with no itinerary, no tours, nothing. I walked the streets of Tbilisi. Ate authentic Georgian foods in Rustaveli. Met fellow solo traveler and had the best trip ever. See when you overthink things and let your feelings get in the way of what you really wanted, you’ll always end up regrett...
For some people, all they ever dream was to work in a high rising company with a good pay, promised with an extensive career growth. For others, they dream of a simpler life, to be able to live happily with their family, to be able to go places they want, to be able to work remotely for the rest of their lives. And my dream was the latter. I spent almost 4 years in a country far away from home. Although the things that I had experienced was extraordinary, deep inside me is a woman crying in pain every-single-fucking-day! I never thought I’d despise corporate world so much! I thought that was my dream! And when I proved to myself that I can do it, the job that I was looking up to for an extensive time, became my nightmare! The first year was amazing, I was doing really good on my job (at least as per my manager). The 2 nd year was the starting point of all my struggles. Waking up in the morning became dreadful. The cycle of 8-5 was horrible! There are days where there’s a lot of jo...
