First month of 2018 has gone in a blink and as February started to roll in, I decided to write my very first blog post…
I’ve always wanted to do so, but always had a thousand reasons not to (busy, not confident with my English, what to write and so on and on…), maybe it wasn’t time yet.
Beauty, now this is where my knowledge lies, maybe not in the written articles but I will easily and confidently speak about beauty its my one true love. From make up recommendations to techniques and colours to skin care, skin conditions and skin health.
January, personally to me, was a very mentally challenging month. New year, a lot of thought about life, what I do, what I want to do and questioning whether I am happy where I am now or not, wondering what can I change, what can I improve, this and many more questions seemed to consume every moment in every day.
When I ask myself what I want from my life, the word that comes to light FREEDOM!! This word of course can mean lots of different things but for me its indicating that I don’t have that freedom in my life that I want yet. Yet is the key word here.
I follow many different travellers, who just quit their 9-5 jobs and go and make their dreams a reality…this is admirable to me.
I want that as well. This is what in my head is real and true freedom, just doing what you love to do. How amazing would that be, to wake up every morning and genuinely love what you do and feel excited for the day ahead?But I do love my job, and I want to continue what I do, but I don’t want fixed hours in salon as I am not feeling right I feel like a bird in cage, but I love to make clients happy and to provide the best treatments I can. So this is where I am lost.
January gave me a lot of thought and what I really understood finally (30 years I needed to be able to work this out!), that no one cares about you, no one needs you (just your mum, dad and grandparents if you still have them) and that you are replaceable. Sad, but its true.
So 2018 I decided to do what I’ve always wanted to do, start enjoying my life. Travel more often, experience new things, new places and new people and most importantly to love myself and slowly start changing my life in the ways that allow me to be free and happy doing what I love. I don’t know how just yet, this is why I want to write these blog posts every month to document my journey and maybe inspire someone else to work and live for your dream but not for someone else (unless you are happy with it). This is where I want to talk about beauty, skin care, sport, traveling, new learned things, new achievements and freedom. Freedom from fixed hours, being attached to one place and do what you want to do at this moment to be happy!
