I haven't posted on Steemit for a while now, because my life took a big turn and I didn't have any time to stay on Steemit anymore.
I moved to a different country, hopping I could live there and work. I stayed there for a few months, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I don't belong there.
It was a different culture, different people, different language... I tried so hard to get used to it, but I felt empty inside.
I had no friends, no family there and this quick transition was simply unnatural to me.
I loved posting on Steemit and I loved communicating with my favorite people here, but I had to move away from it and I really, really, really missed being here.
I had a lot of fun here and learnt so many new things (especially about cryptocurreny).
Now, I'm back to my country, because I couldn't stay elsewhere anymore. And I'm back to Steemit, because it's a wonderful platform and I enjoy being here.
I realized something very important
When I moved out, I realized that you should always do what you're passionate about.
If you feel like something doesn't feel right, you shouldn't do it.
You must find your passion if you truly want to be happy. Do something you enjoy doing instead of wasting your life and killing yourself with destructive thoughts.
I'm happy where I am right now and blogging is becoming my passion. I find it fun and challenging at the same time.
And I believe, that it's the most important thing. To do what you love, instead of something you hate.
Everyone is passionate about something, you just have look deep within yourself and ask what is it that you love to do.
I discovered myself
When I moved out, I had a lot of time alone. It was at this time that I started to ask myself questions like "Is this what I want to do?", "does this feel right?".
And the answer was no...
I felt isolated and trapped within my own thoughts. I couldn't turn those negative thoughts away.
Every single day, I didn't feel like myself. I was hopping that things will change and become better, but it didn't happen.
It only got worse... Because I wasn't doing what I wanted to do, I wasn't living where I wanted to live, and I didn't feel like myself anymore.
Feel gratitude for everything you have
And the I realized that I was never grateful enough for what I've had my whole life.
See, most people focus on the things they don't currently have. While, everyone should be grateful for what they currently have.
When I lost everything in one day, I realized that I should've been more grateful for having all my friends, family, home, bed, and basically anything else.
You never know when you could lose all of it, so be happy for having it right now.
Don't focus on what you don't have. Focus on what you have. Be thankful for having it.
Tell yourself everyday how happy you are to have food on your plate, health, friends and everything else you have.
BE THANKFUL!
By doing this, you will notice how happy you become even for the small things that happen in your life.
You'll attract wonderful situations and experiences into your life.
I'm a different person now
After all, I'm happy I got to experience what I've experienced in those 2 months of being in another country.
Even though I wasn't happy there, I became much happier when I came back.
I realized how sweet my life is and I'm thankful for every opportunity and experience that comes to my life...
There's always something good in a shitty situation
Every bad situation or experience is a lesson for you... But you can only learn from that lesson, only if you are willing to learn :)
