Great Journey 🏍 Day 63
"Why does everyone always think I know what I'm doing? Most of the time I watch myself in wonder and am curious to see what happens."
This, or something similar, could describe my own emotional world during the last weeks of our journey. Life really does seem to be a grab bag. We start our adventure full of enthusiasm, find the most beautiful places, enjoy our time together, are happy about employers and customers who have confidence in us and our remote work. And then this: I don't like and can't ride a motorbike anymore. So drive myself. No more desire. Travelling yes, being a passenger yes, riding a motorbike myself no.
Everyone knows what comes next: the mind carousel goes extra rounds.
You can't do that!
That's what you wanted!
Now you've started this, see it through!
Should I tell him?
Oh, he won't think that's funny.
Yes, he did, he wanted an adventure (the one with me)!
And what do you think people will say?
You haven't got very far yet!
You also have to follow through with things sometimes.
So far, everything you've done has always worked out.
STOP!
❣️ Who says it can't be done? Nobody!
❣️ Who says I wanted that? I, yes, but just, wanted, no longer want.
❣️ Who says you always have to do everything? I don't know, I don't know anyone who always does everything, even if it's no longer fun.
And then what always happens when you talk about it: fantastic solutions are found, there is understanding, no one says anything stupid and the journey continues. Different, on a motorbike, but it goes on. Only one tiny challenge awaits us: the luggage has to be minimised a bit and we bargain for every piece 🙂 But we manage that too, pack Malou and off we go to the south. Or east. Or like Lucky Luke into the sunset.
