It is Neither Here Nor There

I recently was told that my big move is due to the fact that I have lost myself in more ways that I can imagine. They said to me that I am traveling now to find who I am and what I ought to become in this life. I was bewildered that this person whom I felt such a strong connection with would think this of me. You can imagine how painful it was to hear that this person who loves me so dearly would think that my traveling was to confront my own demons and to escape the realities of my life in Canada. What hurt most was when this person told me that I follow not my mind, but think too much with my heart. It broke my spirit but for moment, for I realized it took me years to practice thinking with my heart rather than with my head, and I am proud in doing so. When you follow your heart true logic and reason will manifest itself. It's not always easy to follow your intuition; especially when logic and reason relates an opposing message.

Friends and family were a little hurt and stunned that I was going to a destination so far away, but they knew that traveling is a part of who I am. They knew as much as I did that I wanted to travel only to rejoice in the glory of being. Being an individual. An individual who is struck by the beauty of the world and who wants to explore it through the realms of education. Education that brings light to the power of the source we call Life. Life as I see it is but a journey to explore ourselves on a daily basis and to seek a more profound thought of who we are and where we ought to be in the present moment. I did not lose myself, but have gained another piece of myself. I also have found that who I am is neither here nor there, for we cannot not live too much in the past, nor live too much into the future. Time is fluid. Time is but what we make it, and Life is about not always knowing what will come next.

This message is not to announce that I know who I am, because we never truly know who we are. So I leave you with a quote that may elucidate the message I intend to communicate.
Yours truly EarthBound

It sounds like the person who hurt you is the one who is lost, not the other way around. Good on you for sticking to your dreams and heading overseas!
