before I left Australia I didn’t realise how much of my life, and my decisions, were shaped by what was around me. I was surrounded by so many incredible people back home, but not really anyone that completely understood my desire to step out and experience more than what was directly in front of me. and now that I have stepped out, and I’m living entirely for myself (and not based on what other people say I “should” do) I’ve found that I’ve actually stopped constantly chasing the things that I want, and I’m attracting it all to me instead. I’ve found that everything I want actually wants me more?? I do believe in manifestation - but to me I thought it was about writing down what I wanted. Speaking of it as if it’s already happened and constantly repeating my desires to myself. But everything that’s unfolded over the four years since I’ve left home has been all quietly manifested under the belief that everything is always working out for me. I’ve built an entirely new life in Portugal without even realising it was happening? I can make money anywhere in the world with just social media? I’ve somehow fallen in love for the first time? I can slow down and experience life as it’s happening. When I stopped forcing myself to live a life that didn’t feel like it was made for me everything fell into place??? Everything made more sense, and I felt so much more at peace with my decisions. If you have the ability to change your environment, you will meet yourself properly, and it will never be the wrong decision. Because that’s when the doors start to open 🧚♀️ . . . #moveabroad #traveller #aussieabroad #liveabroad #lifeabroad
