For as long as I can remember, my biggest fear had always been waiting for something to happen until it was too late.
The idea of nothing interesting happening in my life scared me. I didn’t want to lead a life full of routine and safety. I wanted constant change, danger, and excitement. I wanted to meet different people, eat different food and get lost in different places.
And I realized that waiting will never result in anything. The years would go by until it was too late, and I would become too comfortable to change. Knowing that made me feel trapped in a life I had no interest in leading. I drowned myself in books, video games and movies to escape the reality of how boring my life was. Until I decided that I was in control and that if someone was going to make my life better, it would be ME.
That’s how the idea of leaving the country came into my head, I wanted to live somewhere beautiful where no one knew me or anything about me so I could open a new chapter and create my own life the way I want it to be.
So many people have asked me I decided to suddenly leave everything behind and move to another country? Telling you about my experiences in Florence would be pointless if you didn’t really know what brought me here and what I am looking for.
So, that’s what brought me here, and it was the best decision I’ve ever made. It’s a decision a lot of people have been afraid or unable to make, even though they might feel the same way.
If your life is too boring and you feel like you live the same day on repeat because you’re waiting for something to happen or you’re too scared to take a big step, then honestly, it’s your fault.
