Find your own word

Travel, food, prayer and love are the process of enjoying life, and the process of enjoying life is also a process of self-discovery.

Liz's experience, many people, including myself, have experienced or are experiencing it more or less. When others think that you look good, in fact, you are already bored to the point of being unbearable, and you are very dissatisfied with yourself for a long time. I feel bored, but I don't know how to change my life. Who you are and what kind of life you want is often because it is easy to get lost in the mountains when you are in this mountain, and it is usually difficult to see your future clearly.

Resolutely abandoning everything that he once cared for and cherished, leaving far away is far from being indifferent and not at all distressed as others imagined. Just staying in the same place will make no progress, knowing that the future will be more heartbreaking, more regrettable and painful, how can you ask yourself to insist on such a reluctance day after day? I'm afraid it will bring more pain in the future. Be ruthless, treat yourself and others; give up everything, give up everything, get away from it, just to see yourself better and understand yourself better.

It is a process of finding, and it is a difficult process, because not everyone is so lucky to have the opportunity to see through and understand themselves from the very beginning.

Abandon everything that was once familiar, leave familiar friends and cities, come to unfamiliar cities to learn new languages, make new friends, and let the people and things that you like and dislike during the journey pass by without leaving a trace .

Nothing in the world is constant, only change itself is eternal. Even if you get the life you once thought you wanted, people are constantly changing as time goes by. The self at this moment is no longer the original self, and many unexpected and unexpected things have happened. Only by constantly looking for it in the constant changes can we understand more and better enjoy the current life. The process of searching is a process of letting go of oneself, a process of redemption.

Life doesn't have to be rough or hard to feel uncomfortable. Whether life is happy or not is like the shoes you put on your feet. Only you can know whether they fit your feet or not. What brand of shoes are they decorated with? How gorgeous, it is all seen by others, although it is related to face but not to comfort. Respect your own feelings, if you feel uncomfortable, no matter how expensive and gorgeous shoes are, it will just grind your feet out of blisters, and experience the discomfort and pain with a lot of experience and process. Abandoning unsuitable shoes and looking for shoes that fit your feet is your obligation to yourself.

There will never be a second person in this world who understands him better than himself, and there will never be another person who will love him more than himself, so for his own happiness, for his own comfort, and for the sake of being able to walk a longer road. Choosing the right shoes for your feet is a no-brainer.

Balance is not that rare, and losing a little balance for love is only part of balance.

Fortunately, we are still willing to believe that one day we can find ourselves.
