Our human mind complicates. Our souls knows.
I recently looked through photos of myself over the past year and tripped out.
I bought a one-way to Maui last year. I lived in a spider-filled converted storage unit in the jungle of the North Shore.
I taught yoga to locals, nomads, and tourists. I work-traded and did various random work on the island.
I sprouted, bloomed, and blossomed into my next evolution.
The irony is the seed has to be planted in the dark.
I grew back into the light. I found my way back to me.
I adventured, kinda sorta learned how to surf, and met and have kept in touch with some amazing people that I am grateful to add to my life.
A few months in, a guy from Montana came up to me on the beach and said hi. I felt a stirring and knew that I was about to enter a new chapter.
Within a few months I moved in with him into a jungle tree house surrounded by bamboo, maui fruits, and lush greenery. A few months after that, I moved to Montana with him. I had only known him for 5 months at that point.
And now, here I am.
Cozy in a crazy awesome fancy cabin-house we’ve been sitting at. Orange, red, and yellow leaves fleetingly falling.
My now reality: Pine and mountain views next to someone who scares the shit outta me in the best way possible. I couldn’t be more grateful for everything that led me to where I am now.
This past year I let myself make decisions based on how the choice made me feel. I let my logical mind take the back seat. I just couldn’t be on the “that’s what you’re supposed to do” road anymore.
So i left it.
That doesn’t mean it’s been without its own challenges.
They’re called highlight reels for a reason. Remember that.
Sometimes I think our soul chooses experiences that our human needs in order to evolve.
Our human mind complicates. Our soul knows.
I’m still on the no-plan plan. I like it that way.
I’m following those calls. Those nudges.
I’m following the road that loops, spirals, and twists into each evolution. Each new chapter.
I intend to keep it that way.
