How can we explain the depression in people who finally managed to live in the paradise? I was also surprised when I heard that for the first time but it makes sense when you think about it. The lack of goals – you’ve achieved yours – and the boredom can make you lose the purpose in life. So maybe that’s right, happiness is the path to pursuing something not the goal in itself. But then, does that mean that we are better off never reaching what we want?

Here’s a time-lapse video made from the pictures I took during a sunset in Costa Rica, which is the closest I’ve been to paradise and enjoying every second of it:

Even though I would keep setting goals for your life; otherwise what to live a life for?

It’s been two years since I started my journey – since I left my land, my home – and adventured myself into unknown regions.

The cause? I have yet to ascertain. For some reason I had the intense feeling that I couldn’t stay all my life in the same place. I needed new challenges, expand my mind and test myself day after day.

To leave the comfort behind is never easy and even less when confusion and uncertainty’s shadow pursue you. But the feeling of departing was always greater.

After all this time though, what I found out is that everything is on track and going forward – that even if you pull up or feel confused, the world won’t stop spinning.

Today is a day of celebration. Celebrating the change, the nonconformity and the eager to discover. Because in the end that’s what makes you feel alive and not the opposite.
