a story worth telling
I got to a point where I hated my boring everyday life. Months ago, I hated school, I didn’t feel like I had good friends, I felt pressure from everyone in my life and I was feeling sick of everything around me. Back then, I was boring, I didn't have stories to tell and experiences to share. ‘’You’re not entirely screwed until you have a good story to talk about and someone to tell it’’, I've once read in a book, and I realised I was at a dead point as I had neither.
This is why, at the age of seventeen, I decided to get on a plane to go very far away from my hometown for a very long time, because I desperately needed to live something I could remember forever, and I just jumped into it.
I know I've been brave and I know not everyone my age would have done the same, and I couldn't be more grateful for having this opportunity and for simply taking it, because it’s the best thing that has ever happened to me. I’ve never been this happy for such a long time, I’ve never felt this much at home even being thousands of miles from my city, and my life has changed completely after this.
I’ve learnt more in a couple of months than in seventeen years and I feel like I am a better person now. I’ve met people, lived adventures, felt things that I’ll remember for my whole life, and I’ll have thousands of story to tell to whoever is waiting for me back home.
I was born again in this new city, in this country, surrounded by new people who soon became my family, and now I couldn't imagine a life without them. I am genuinely happy and I'm living my life to the fullest, enjoying every single moment, taking every risk and having no regrets.
Little did I know it would only be a matter of a intercontinental flight to find happiness.
if you're young, take your risks, embrace your desire to discover the world, to travel, see places, meet people, because this is the right time to do it and to change your life, even if just for a while. It’s a life in a couple of months, it’s not you leaving everything behind you, but the world coming towards you, and it’s something everyone should do for themselves.
My life has changes, I will never be the same after this and I couldn't be happier: I hated my old-self and I love the person I've become. What I've left is still waiting for me there, but what I’ve found will be with me forever.
