I had this little piece saved from a note that I wrote coming back from a trip with my boyfriend from Puglia (where he is from). Puglia blew my mind & flying always makes my mind so free and run wild! I dont know if its something in the clouds, or just being so high up, but wowzers I am in dreamland sometimes. I even remember the first time flying to Europe and Dont Panic by Coldplay came on my iPod while crossing the Atlantic. it was such a moment for me at 16, exploring the big world for the first time :) Pure magic ✨ ooh the nostalgia…
the more I travel, the more I realize that there are laws bigger than the ones that affect our daily life. There are laws that govern the laws that we have now. Laws that take up much more impact and meaning than the ones that shall I say are “man made”? these laws are the laws of the universe- they’re deeply ingraved in humanity. For example, within these universal laws, i have learned that the universe seriously always supports me. Simple as that. When i fully trust with love, it comes back protected and ten fold. From buying one way tickets and throwing myself out into the universe/ to not having an agenda & having my trips unfold into experiences that I can’t even explain/ to meeting people who are completely different from me, but always finding something to connect with / to people I barely know offering me a comfy place to stay when I didn’t have a plan/ to facing fears like being brave enough to walk through a new city alone just to get back to my hotel room. Growing up in OC and having all 4 of my grandparents come from different countries, it made me feel more like second generation than American, even though I was born there. My mom raised me with an openness to culture and the world & always taught me that the world is something to explore and not to be afraid of (another universal law :))) which I will forever pass along.. and for the people who still can’t wrap their heads around these ideas that aren’t tangible or able to see, I ask you to book a ticket and trust..
P.S. one thing that traveling has taught me, is that how is it that every culture has its own rules and traditions, and they are soooo different! Like especially in Europe where all theres so many countries put together… Coming from the US, it really made me think about the systems of the world and if there is truly one Real system..
How do you feel about the idea of a Universal Law within our collective? What governs you? Do you follow more of your own intuition, or maybe your culture, or a system? Would love to hear all about your experience on this in the comments below!
