To introduce myself… My name is Esther and lets just say 2010 has been a year of many adventures, many changes and many opportunities… and it has only hit the ½ way mark! This year started off great – a great new year in Whitianga NZ with friends, camping and a port-a-loo that we trucked up ourselves (a sight to see! Or a smell?)… then went to Tahiti which was Amazing – what is better than having a few cocktails poolside – sunshine, beautiful lagoons and people! Great opportunities at work… a great personal life…great friends and hopes for the close future!
However the reason I came to writing a blog is that all these changes made me think that other people may have some familiarity into what I am going through or what I am to go through.
My partner broke up with me after 8years – no reason why, nothing. One day he was talking about our future – the next he just said he cannot commit to it anymore, the next day he had a trailer to pick up all his things…
I started dating him when I was 16 years old, and I am now 24 – I feel lost, and like I am 16 and going on 24 (like those movies 13 going on 30 – is probably the best way to describe it) it is surreal. I have learnt a lot, and am still learning a lot, like today I am ok, and then tomorrow I am crying like crazy over the smallest thing?
So as can be expected it flipped my world upside down and everything I knew to be true was no longer so…
It gave me the ability to open up to possibilities that may never have come about. I can honestly say that I would wished it never happened, but on the other hand I am happy that it did, I would not be able to experience the world with my eyes fully opened…my whole heart and appreciate people and things more, and I guess I will be a better person for it (all this positive affirmation helps me going…it may be a load of crap – but I guess what helps you through it in the end? And as the all the clichés state (sad but true) what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger…time heals etc etc (I may be recreating these clichés slightly – but they sound familiar).
Since this has all happened I have been given opportunities that seemed like maybe this is just the way my life is meant to be, yes maybe it is fate, or just coincidences that have happened…
For example: my friend said lets go to Europe – why not? We got this ball rolling and it seemed to just work… we wanted to go on a tour that commenced 15th July 2010, this ended up being fully booked, and we could not get the cheap flight either…so somehow we got on the tour that left the 17th and we got the really cheap flight – fate or coincidence?
To me this showed me it was “meant to be” may be something is saying yes this is right, or the stars are aligned or whatever your religious/spiritual views are it just felt like: yes this is right.
So this blog (after a long winded intro) is about new beginnings my adventure though life – especially traveling – experiences in Europe, what I find fascinating… (mainly fashion – but I will detail more than this), friends, new friends, families, experiences, new countries, new cultures and more! In the end the life of a single chick in her 20’s trying to find her self…if you are interested post comments – suggestions – I am open to them!
Anywho… I depart land of long white cloud, Aotearoa, New Zealand July 14th – stay posted for updates… and if anyone has must haves for travels or travel tips – let me know – 1 month 10days left… countdown is on!
