Most of the times the hardest things are the most simple ones. Or what is actually hard is to keep something simple, not to mess it, not to get lost, to simply do what you want. People will say that ‘It’s not always easy to simply do what you want’. And that sounds extremely comfortable and at the same time so not true. It’s what you would say to yourself to excuse you for not trying more for what you want more in your life. That’s exactly the reason you do it: before you do what you want you need to find it first. Search in you, around you, try new things and see what you like, what makes you relaxed, smiling, peaceful. I don’t know of a way to get there. To get what you want, what you like. I don’t have a recipe for that, maybe only a suggestion: keep going and moving, searching towards all directions!
