Yup, I’m back in Finland with the snow, reindeers, and polar bears.Yup, I’m back in Finland with the snow, reindeers, and polar bears.Okay, we don’t actually have reindeers or polar bears roaming the streets, but everyone seems to think otherwise, so I’m happy to play along.
是的,我现在回芬兰了,回到了有雪,驯鹿和北极熊的芬兰。好吧,其实芬兰也并不是满大街都是驯鹿和北极熊的。但人们好像都这么想,我也乐得奉陪。
Time seems to be going faster and faster. I hardly noticed the 11 months spent in Spain. I experienced, learned, and grew a lot during this time, but it all seems like a dream.
总觉得时间越过越快。在西班牙的11个月也眨眼间就结束了。我经历了很多,学到了很多也成长了很多,却亦觉那段岁月,宛若一场梦。
Our dog almost died, I learned a new language, I made new friends, I solved new problems, and I got an earplug stuck in my ear. You know, the usual stuff when you travel.
我们的狗都快死了,我学会了一种新的语言,认识了新的朋友,解决了各种新问题,塞上了耳塞——一些旅行时就会有的事。
Why I Left
离开之时
I left because I felt like returning to Finland. I also realized that traveling from Spain would be harder because I had rent to pay, and a dog to take care of.
离开是因为我想要回到芬兰。我也知道,异国旅行不那么容易,因为我还有房租要付,有一条狗要照顾。
Moving back to Finland not only gives me more flexibility, but also cuts my expenses in half, which is always a nice thing when you’re fond of minimalism.
搬回芬兰,生活很自在,开销也少了一半。对喜好简约生活的人说不失为一种好方法。
As the years have passed, I’ve learned to trust my intuition more and more. I do what feels good, and above all, I listen to my heart. That doesn’t mean I run away from fear and eat candy, it means facing my fears and giving my heart space to communicate.
岁月经年,我深信要相信自己的感觉。我只做我想做的事情,所以我听从了自己的心声。我并不是逃避恐惧,也不是贪图享乐,我只是直面它们,给自己的心留出了一些空间。
It’s something you learn with time. The more you trust your intuition, even if you misinterpret it, the more you realize that you can put faith in yourself, and you can listen to your own self for guidance.
渐渐你会明白,只要你相信自己的感觉,即使有时候可能有那么一点出入,你就能更相信自己,跟着心走。
