Carry-On Only

Lately, the thought of travel has been on my mind. I now have a mission and a goal with my travels; I am looking for a place to call home.

I have two locations in mind; however, they are in opposite parts of Latin America. I have chosen them both for the ease of visa and ease of buying property as a foreigner; however, I know that my life and mind change faster than a hummingbird’s wings flit.

I have also had a running thought in my mind: I have too much stuff. I am feeling weighed down by things yet again.

It is a similar way that I felt when I left my home over five years ago. I have a desire and need to start over, but with essentially nothing, so I chose a backpack that is a carry-on and easy to move around with versus carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders.

I often think of this season of my life as chapter 2.

Lately, I have been contemplating a place to call home, and the thought that if I have a home, I can not travel, well, that was a lie I was telling myself.

It’s one of those, ¨you can’t have it all, ¨ only because that is what we have been told for so long.

My entire life, I was told ¨you have to decide¨ ¨choose one way or the other¨ ¨if you do this, you can’t do that¨. Well, I refuse to believe any of this, and so far, how my life has played out, it is bullshit.

Anyone who tells you you can’t have it all gave up too soon and let others determine their fate/destiny. I will not allow that energy in my life.

There is so much abundance in the world that we get limited to our tiny worlds, and when you pop your head above the clouds, you realize there is room for you.

Being a full-time content creator can be stressful; some days, I wake up and think, am I cut out for all of this?

Then, I continue and move forward, as that is the only way to break through. Movement.

The key to my life is that I refuse to live in the past.

If it has already happened, at least you already know the outcome. You are here right now because of some outcome, so enjoy or change it.

I recommend enjoying it while you change it because I want to have my cake and eat it too. I will; we all live the life that we chose, and we are actively creating.

If I were to sit here in self-pity because I had a bad few days on one platform, I need to stop having a pity party and move on.

The earth never stops moving, your breath never stops until you take your last breath, and until that moment, you will have the power to change anything you want about your life.

I choose to change how I travel and live and recreate myself again.

Except recreating myself is one of my favorite things, why do I always have to stay the same?

Life is meant to be enjoyed, and we adults take life too seriously.

Last night, I was a witch; my niece decided for Halloween, we all had to dress up. So we did, and it was so much fun because we can.

We also got complimented on our costumes and remembered it was the idea of my niece. She had a vision and told us what we would be, and we, of course, complied because why not?

Life is meant to be enjoyed, laughed at, and, best of all, lived!

So I will have my carry-on backpack and head south, most likely starting in Central America and traveling over land as always.

When I find my perfect home, I will buy it, maybe stay a while, maybe travel a bit more.

Now that I have been volunteering for so long, I know that my house will never sit empty as I have invited everyone I know to either stay at my home and housesit or visit.

I do this because I am creating my reality as we speak.

My dream is to have a place that can function as a space where you can come and relax and forget about the world’s stress. The more love we create, the more love Pachamama feels, and she, too, will begin to heal all her creatures.

Of course, I have not ticket yet, as I am a last-minute planner, feeling out the moment and trusting the universe to guide me.

XOXO
