Happiness is possible

sammy · Nov 27, 2009

So, almost a year ago I left my whole life behind and travelled to the other side of the planet to do a year of travelling there. It was something I needed to do. i was stuck in a boring, lonely excistence back home. I needed to get away, 'find myself'.

What i found was so unexpected, so wonderful, so mindboggling.
I found happiness, I found Love. Yes, love with capital L. I didn't think that existed for me. I had given up on ever finding it.
But it was there, 30 hours of travel away.

I am now engaged to be married, expecting and working on becoming a citizen in my new country.

I have been lucky, but now i know it is possible to find happiness. And I hope with all my heart that everyone in here will someday find the happiness they seek, whether it is love or something else.

I really like seeing these sky-high-success posts because it makes me feel like I might replicate them someday.

Sammy, you did a bold, brave thing and made a huge commitment, I think. I'm glad you gained so much from it.
