Proud

With summer gone and autumn slowly settling in I feel a bit melancholic… Shorter days, cloudier skies, all those yellow leaves laying on the pavement, all those chestnuts that make you remember of your childhood… That make you remember when you were returning to school and when you were keen on finding the biggest, roundest and brownest chestnuts. When that was your only concern, when that was your only mission, when times were simpler…

With my headphones on I am trying to relax. Catching my breath a little… Letting the music flow and with it letting my thoughts fly away, fly far, fly fast… Searching for the balance…

And I am looking back. I’m looking back at everything that I have been experiencing since May. And then again I find it hard to believe we’re already in October. Time flies when you’re having fun. Without you noticing, time flies when you enjoy what you’re doing, when what you’re doing makes you curious, when being curious makes you smarter, when being smarter just makes sense.  I have learnt so much… so much about myself, so much about my strengths and even more about my weaknesses. And I learned a lot about others too.

I am looking back and… And I regret nothing! I am proud that I had the courage to take a leap of faith and change everything. It may not seem much for you, but you… you don’t know me! I am proud that I was brave enough to disrupt the routine, I am happy I stepped out of my comfort zone and built a better person.

I am proud!
