Hello amazing souls! Summer is always taking over my mind and my writings. Spent a very good time connecting with my homeland. By far the most important period of my life, to be honest, I realized that being far from my place affected so much who I am as well.
Over my journey in the UAE of 12 years, after looking to discover new parts of who I am professionally, I decided to put my career on pause and start searching for who I am on a deeper level. Started traveling around the world, looking for something. Didn’t know at the time what, but later to discover that was myself. What was interesting is that most of the time between my trips to all these amazing countries, my mind was always telling me to book a ticket home. This was the most often I was going to Romania in the past 12 years. Every 3-4 months I would be going there for at least one week. Every time I was there, I had an “aha” moment. Obviously, I noticed how my belief system changed and how I became more Arab than Romanian. I’m not saying that a bad thing, I love this nation, their culture, and I’m proud to call this place home. It’s a big part of me now.
All this time moving back and forth got me to the right balance between who I was and who I am. Values and perspective changed over time, leading me to knowing who I want to be in the next period of my life. Met so many great people and left even more to move away from my life. Few stayed and those are the ones that no matter what life brings at us, the connection is never changed. Decided to open my heart more and stay vulnerable in front of whatever life brings. In the end, all my experiences proved that everything happens for a reason, and I’ll understand at the right time.
Now starting another chapter in my life, the one where I’m lovingly living every single moment. Dedicating myself to bringing joy in everything I do. Staying more present and focusing on what can I do now to bring more love to my life and others. Whenever my mind tried to trick me into giving up, my #stayinyourmagic motto got me back to my senses. Because there is a bit of magic inside of all!
