I’m actually someone who dreads the idea that she’d have to live in one place for the rest of her life 🙂 I have a rather adventurous spirit and I love travelling. I adore airports and the feeling of going somewhere. I also have a curious mind.

If I would try to be something else and deny that part of me, it would cause me to become depressive. So I do honour that side of me, and embrace it.

That doesn’t mean though that I would have to be able to travel. You can honour the adventurous spirit with other ways as well. Life in general is one big adventure! There is so much to be seen and learned, even just at home, that it’s just amazing.

Finding happiness in being your authentic self does not have to be tied to external circumstances. Like your job. If you hate it because you feel like you can’t express yourself in it or it doesn’t speak to you in a particular way, then stop expecting it to 🙂 You need to adapt to your surroundings and express yourself the way you are able to in your current situation. That is not to say that you would have to stay in your current job. You don’t. But like with everything else, finding happiness comes from within and being too tied with the circumstances gives all that power away.

You can shine as an adventurous spirit even if you had to work a 9 to 5 job as a cashier in a local supermarket. You can also be completely lost and miserable even if you were able to travel anywhere you wanted to on a whim.
