RE: The Sky is Grey

in The MINIMALIST2 years ago

Around our 30s we dwell in a pivotal stage, but it's also an age where we are full of desires, dreams, and sometimes some unrealistic goals. Most of us end up filling up our baskets with way too many apples, which later causes imbalance, and then we tumble.

Alas, if we stay on this randomly impulsive path for too long, then we may just have to tread back to square one.

That is why when we find ourselves at the crossroads, we must settle for a bit of sacrifice, a bit of compromise, being content and grateful for what we already have, and steadily working towards what we want.

Well said!
Our conversation was something.
I was 30 when I left my home country for good, and my needs were the exact same as what the young lady was going through. The only difference was that I was already a traveller. Still, I made many mistakes that have made me strong.

I'm closing in towards 30, my wife being a year younger haha. We both plan on travelling the world, but for now I'm working, handling the family business, while she is in the middle of her MBA course.

Together we have a lot to learn, and we are learning. We've made countless mistakes so far, and we're still afraid of making mistakes haha, but sadly, there's no way around it.

For now the focus is on growth, trying to build something, while our dreams wait on the sidelines.

You are well ahead of your years in your thinking.

👍 Yes, you have to structure your path and set your timelines.

Cherish what you have as a family and the changes that you both go through. Remember that when it gets down to the nitty-gritty, each other is all you've got:)

Oh, that we already know, she's quite understanding. We are true friends before girlfriend/boyfriend or even husband/wife, and I say that friendship and understanding gives our relationship tremendous strength.

Even though we are hundreds of kilometers apart, barely even getting to meet, the bond is still as strong.

You sound like a lucky fella, and it's great to hear about the connection you have with your wife, life long friend. Long distance relationships are the hardest, so kudos to you both 🤗
