On my way to Sardinia

My trip started on Friday, driving my car to Livorno and then crossing the sea with my trusted partner, Grimaldi Lines and Cruise & Ferry Center to Olbia, Sardinia.

Funny how, before I started my Dipl. HF studies, I thought it might be difficult to visit Sardinia because of school… Guess who isn’t in school during the summer months until October. :)

Anyway, my journey brought me back here. Back to Sardinia.

I’ve spent many years here on vacation with friends and family. But over the years, something changed. I’m getting older, and I’m learning to be grateful for different things.

A few years ago, I thought I needed parties, people and all that stuff around me. Today, I’m grateful to simply relax, read a book, take pictures, spend time with my family and create memories in peace and harmony.

I remember years when I came here with mixed feelings. I was longing for parties and people, and sometimes I was even sad about being alone.

Today, I’m grateful for that time.

Because I realized that I need time. Time to become the person I want to be. I’m not looking for someone because I need them. I’m waiting for someone who fits into the life I’m building.

I need time to create memories. Time to let go of my childhood and learn to be happy with life as it is.

Sardinia is a place where all these feelings come together and somehow help me find my way back to myself.

On the ship, I had my own suite. I went to the gym. I spoke to strangers. I bought myself things I normally wouldn’t have bought because people would have told me to leave it — because somehow, everyone always seems to know what’s best for you.

Today i'm still on the way to becoming the best version of myself. Still growing, still learning, but moving forward.Read more
