We see the pictures and imagine the travel to represent a wonderful day, every single day, but its really not like that.
I do admit, I would be blue all over if I were to pinch myself as I cannot believe this is really my new world, but then I have to balance that with needing to maintain resilience, positivity, and manage my emotions and frustrations. Bureaucracy is hard, and my goodness, the length of time, and I'm talking months that I have had to wait for processes to move let alone end.
I tell myself to keep looking at the bigger picture, but sometimes the day by day is tough and the waiting is overwhelming.
I reflect on how I chose this, I chose to step out of my comfort zone and make a significant change. I think about the courage I used to actually do it. Sometimes I look at how far I have come and realise that the worst is likely over, the rest will be the best.
I'm studying on a daily basis to keep my mind busy and to keep frustrations at bay.
Counting down to my next trip.
