Wait, what AM I doing here?

In the summer of 2020, I spontaneously took a road trip to British Columbia by myself to spend a week with friends. One week became two. Two became three. Three became indefinitely. To sum up how I was feeling at the time:

“Holy shit. I’m actually doing this. Wait, what AM I doing here?”

If there’s one thing life in British Columbia has taught me so far, it’s that there is beauty in taking in adventures and opportunities as they come. When the opportunity to live close to the ocean and mountains found me, I jumped into the deep end and said yes. Not knowing what I would be doing there was nerve-wracking, and for weeks afterwards, I wondered if I had made the “right” decision.

Sometimes there is no right decision other than to make one. This brings me to the following quote I started living by that season. Perhaps it’ll resonate with you too:

“If you obsess over whether you are making the right decision, you are assuming that the universe will reward you for one thing and punish you for another. The universe has no fixed agenda. Once you make any decision, it works around that decision. There is no right or wrong, only a series of possibilities that shift with each thought, feeling, and action you experience.”

I may not know what the future holds, but that won’t stop me from getting excited about the possibilities anyway.
