Guys, I have to be honest! This last month hit me hard and I really felt a lack of motivation and inspiration. The darkness seemed to have crept back into my life and knocked me down a little. As I sat in the darkness, I had some time to review this last year and the things that have come up for me to heal.
The truth is the last year has been epically rewarding but challenging at the same time. As most of you know, I traveled across the world to Spain on an adventure all by myself. It was one of the items on my bucket list, to live abroad and get to explore Europe. It truly was the ride of a lifetime!
After several months of settling in Europe, some negative thoughts and feelings crept up on me. I began to feel alone, lost, and confused at what I was doing and why I was there. I followed the voice of my Higher Self on this journey yet I was utterly confused by all the challenges that came with it.
It left me in awe as I was thousands of miles away from friends and family.
Although I dealt with a lot of hurdles while I was there, I was able to find solace and peace in trusting in the universe and realizing that life is a journey and it doesn’t always have to be smooth sailing.
Yes, I learned the friggin lesson, but trust me, going through the process was not fun at all!
By the end of 8 months in Spain, COVID happened. I was in the Canary Islands with only 3 other people that I knew. The struggle was real to be thousands of miles away from home in the middle of a pandemic and not knowing what the future holds. The only thing I knew was that I wanted to go home to be with my friends and family.
Fast forward to May of 2020, 4 days of traveling across the world, and sleeping in 4 airports, I finally landed home in the states.
I was greeted by loving friends and family and I couldn’t be happier.
As I look back at the journey, it’s definitely been a wild ride. But what I learned was that through trying times and darkness, there’s always a light at the end of the tunnel. Sometimes in the depths of our pain and suffering, it’s hard for us to see the light, but trust me, it’s there if you allow it to seep in. Sometimes we can do it ourselves and sometimes we need others to help us and that’s totally okay. We are humans after all and we need support from each other. So if you’re in a place of darkness and you’re lacking hope, I just want to let you know that pain pushes us to grow and expand and I know it may be uncomfortable but it’s all temporary.
The only constant in the world is change, so remember that. Just like the seasons, life has its peaks, highs, and lows, but it’s not permanent.
Life will knock you down sometimes but there is always still hope. So wherever you are on your journey, I seek to inspire you with hope and renew the light within you.
You got this you beautiful soul! Don’t let the hard times keep you in the darkness, remember the light is here waiting to be embraced. Find the treasure in your darkness and maybe you can share your story with others to inspire hope in them as well.
Much love,
Julia
