Lissy & John,

Thanks for sharing your personal insights with me, I’ll keep in mind about the advice you have given. I think I worry too much about “making” or “creating” this friendships like you said since I’ve held many expectations for what I should be like or how they should be and “this is how it’s going to go”. I’ve felt the release to live without these expectations too! It’s motivating too, to stay focused on what of lifestyles I would like to live try. I haven’t been much of an explorer like I’ve always dreamt about because my pace is too slow! Yet I feel more ready to explore more since I’ve now started to discover what exploring truly means.

Thank you again! 🙂
