I have been following my gut feeling a lot lately. But it
took me ignoring it so many times to realize I was in the completely wrong
place, I was unhappy and unsure of the person I saw in the mirror reflected
back at me. Your gut gives you small signs, synchronicities in life, and pushes
from the outside world to show you the next step. If you ignore it, you might
find yourself completely lost and miserable.
Since trusting my gut fully, I have been nothing but constantly
happy. I feel like I am finally being true to myself. By no longer pretending to be someone I am
not, I have dove head first into my truest form. I am told that my face is
glowing and that I am radiating by all my close friends, and I wake up every
single day so happy and excited for what it is to come.
All of this was possible by following my intuition &
seeing where it takes me.
Last year I felt incredibly disconnected from myself.
Unhappy and uncertain of every move I was making in life. I felt this pull deep
within me. It was this fire in my gut telling me to return to my homeland. With
ease I found an internship there and asked my mom to join me across the world.
It was one of the greatest adventures I have gone on. My
mother and I grew closer than ever before. And together we explored our
country, eating our way through most of it.
I feel that pull again, deep within me letting me know its
time once again to return, but for this time to be a solo adventure. I need to
break out of my routine, and step out of my comfort zone. I have been talking
about it for months as if it was going to happen regardless of purchasing my
ticket yet. I believed that the more I talk about a dream, the more real it
becomes. When I finally went to purchase the ticket, it was the cheapest it had
ever been. The signs were informing me that there is no reason to not go. This
would be a journey to immerge myself in my culture and in the Mediterranean
Sea. To be inspired and taught by the people, the country and the spirit of the
Middle East.This gut feeling doesn’t just happen. This feeling is
supposed to be followed because there is a plan for me, a plan that will allow
me to flourish and grow.
This is a journey of freedom and to fall in love with myself
in my purest form. For the next two months as I adventure alone, I have to
decided to not wear any makeup. I want to allow my face to shine from within
without the assistance of makeup. I want to fall in love with all my imperfections
and flaws. I don’t want to cover up my face or who I am. It wont be easy, but it’s
all part of the process.
So here I go, following my intuition on a two month
adventure to the Middle East. I will be going to Lebanon and Dubai, and
documenting the entire adventure.
Listen to your gut. It may make you the happiest you have
ever been before.
