Here Today…
Dear mountains,
I am finally home, I have never been so glad to be adventuring within the boundaries of Jackson Hole, Wyoming.
Dear concrete,
I can finally skateboard on your smooth surfaces. The reunion was priceless.
These two nostalgias that have been built up over the past 4 months are no longer distant dreams, but my new reality. My mental happiness and physical health are reaping the benefits from being home in my element. Like that of a complete protein, similar to rice and beans, the mountains and concrete are my perfect combination to keep me thriving.
Gone Tomorrow…
However, I’m a nomad at heart…always on the move. Hopping from place to place. Searching for something new or running from the boredoms that weave themselves into daily routine. Therefore, I’m moving again, back to Tahoe in a few weeks to begin a renewed journey for the wintertime.
Unfortunately, moving all the time, gets exhausting, and starting from scratch is never an easy task. The sacrifices are great, including the lack of financial stability and the hardship of holding onto strong relationships with family and friends is proven difficult. The struggles and inconveniences of this lifestyle are not for everyone. But they are rewarding if you open yourself to the idea that constant change isn’t such a bad thing, because in exchange, you get to experience so much more.
Maybe my life isn’t supposed to be normal, where I settle down so easily, and follow a structured approach to the successes of this world. Maybe my goals aren’t measured in the same way others measure their successes. I’m happy just knowing that I’ve lived my life with little restriction, and in doing so, have seen and done so much more than I could have ever dreamed.
In conclusion, life’s questions can keep racking themselves into my brain, but the only way to find out what I’m really meant to do on this earth, is through experiencing everything imaginable. Even if that includes making a bunch of extra mistakes and getting lost along the way. After all, how else are you supposed to find yourself, if you don’t take the time to explore all the possibilities and detours that life has to offer?
