The days are long, but the years are short

“The days are long, but the years are short”, I don’t remember anymore where I heard that from, but that’s what the past few years have felt like. I dragged my feet throughout my day, going about my regular routine, over and over again like it was never ending. And yet there I was, at the end of another year.

As some of you may know, the past couple years had been difficult for me trying to figure out what exactly makes me happy. I’ve read books upon books attempting to figure out something that was ultimately so personal.

I always felt like there was something that was missing, it was like this void I had and I searched and searched in all the wrong places. And as I was searching, I stopped traveling and I started doubting everything that was around me. I couldn’t understand why.

But I’m honestly in a better place now. I let go of baggage that was weighing me down. I care a little less about the things that don’t matter and a little more for the things that do. I’m less uptight about things that are beyond my control and it’s made me a happier person.

I know it’s not a travel related post but I’m back on the road now! In the past few months I’ve been to Montreal, Hong Kong, Busan and most recently, New York for Christmas. Next year I’m planning to go to London, Switzerland and Hong Kong, I can’t wait!

Whatever’s meant to be, will be so don’t sweat the small stuff.
