4/11/2023 0 Comments Tout l univers conspire![]() Challenging, unpleasant sometimes, even painful in some cases…Īnd it’s endless, just like this path of consciousness, because the more you dig, the more shit you find.Īnd it’s also fascinating as you get to feel more and more like your true self.Īnd it’s scary, it is scary to face the fear of judgment… To get sincere with oneself is a difficult thing. Because you were taught this way, because you needed to build these layers of armors and masks to protect yourself. This means you gotta be honest with yourself, you gotta be willing to see YOU as you really are with all the dirt, the foolishness, the superficiality, the stubbornness, the vanity, the weaknesses of all sorts… and ACCEPT IT. Hahaha! Good luck with that, right? It’s not an easy condition to start with, but oh so necessary. « You cannot be what you want to be before you’ve accepted to be what you don’t want to be » Lise Bourbeau And this, can only be done with self love. What does exist though is the growing amazement of feeling a little bit happier every day, overcoming the limitations, the mental blocks and unconscious behaviors. There won’t be a day when we will say « Oh yeah, finally, here I am HAPPYLAND! ». Because there is no finish line to that quest. ![]() My journey of « I want to be happier », not « I want to be happy » but happiER. And, would it be only for that someone, this writing would be worth it. I mean, can’t we just be? Be a fool? Be a failure? Be an experiment? Be a magnificent mess?Īt the end of the day, I’m sure at least someone will find in my testimony something to relate to. The idea that everything has to be flawless before it can be shared with the world is so limiting and somewhat just… sad. Because it is exactly where it is supposed to be here and now. A way to overcome my obsession of perfection, a way to let myself express genuinely my thoughts as they are,Ī work in process that IS actually perfect. This is an exercise for me, more than anything else. I really hope you will find a spark of interest here or there and if not that’s fine too □ This space is to be open, respectful and free of judgment and injunctions. Rather, I want to share my ongoing questionings, doubts and contradictions sometimes… my hopes, struggles and reflections… my readings, conversations and inspirations. Of course, it is an endless road and I am not coming here to write about all the fascinating revelations I’ve had to convince you to do the same. Now I know it was a path of self-discovery, a path of consciousness and I am SO grateful I took it. I took a different path… I wasn’t sure WHAT path exactly I was taking, it just felt like a necessity at the time. I feel like it still makes a lot of sense to me to use this very platform to express myself as the whole journey started here, in 2016 when I left my conventional life, my starting career and my confort zone. But time passed and now here we are, beginning of 2021, 4 years later, a whole different context, a whole different life, or no, not really… a new phase of life, and with it a lot of other, different things I wish to share with… whoever might be interested. Actually, I have still a lot of things I want to share about that amazing trip of mine. The truth of the matter is that while I was traveling, I was so busy enjoying life, living the moment, seizing the freeking day, that I didn’t write much. ![]() My idea was to talk about food and travels, or more precisely to use the subject of food (one of my passions) as a starting point to talk about my adventures, discoveries, experiences… and I called it Eat The Road because I found it so very smart! Do not judge my sad sense of humour… So… I created this blog at the end of 2016 after quitting my « corporate » job in a PR agency and just before leaving, in January 2017, for a long solo trip throughout Latin America. If you know already the background story, you can skip and go to the next part. Since it is the first time I am writing in English this article might reach new readers so I find it appropriate to take a moment to set a bit of context here. It’s the first time I’m doing it here on the blog so your indulgence would be much appreciated regarding my writing, the wideness of my vocabulary and the overall style that I am able to display… I’ll do my best to keep the essence of my writing « style » (that’s an audacious term) which is to write the way I think, the way the ideas come to my mind, the way I would talk to a friend. I’m feeling like writing in English this time. ![]()
