Another day, another city.
Today I am in Brisbane. Thank god for decent cappuccinos around the world. Enjoying the sunshine in my eyes & people-watching on Queen street.
It's hard to believe that in the last 2 weeks, I have been in 4 continents. And I have been doing this for the past 5 years. Always a wee bit of confusion when I wake up... where am I today?
In spite of all the bitchiness, the difficult passengers, the fake smiles, the jetlag, I think I will be sad to leave one day. Because there was also the discovery of new cities, the genuine giggles with colleagues, some incredible teamwork, the nice hotels & shopping perks.
My best friend just quit her high-flying job to travel around the world for 1 year. I thought the bank would buy her out but she stuck to her decision.
How much are you willing to give up for something you really want? And how sure are you that you really want it?
Self-indulgence vs responsibility, you need careful calculation & a dose of reality & some daydreaming.
It took me 5 years to figure things out... I'm not entirely sure I have made the right decision... Don't think I could ever be, but in a few months' time, I will take a leap of faith.
Tonight though, I'll enjoy the view of Brisbane's City Hall from my room window... & appreciate the beauty of these fleeting moments. x
