Stability
Stability – highly valued and strongly sought – steady income, solid networks, significant other, residence, furniture, belongings – things we aspire to or believe we should aspire to. Yet these same goals may one day become the source of our misery, binding the present and future, inhibiting freedom and limiting choice.
For some, the struggle is in leaving a stable life to find themselves and experience freedom by exploring the unknown. Perhaps for others, only in keeping a routine can we truly appreciate our surroundings and find adventure and beauty beyond the daily chore.
And so while the temptation to set off once again lures in the background (and probably always will), only in staying out of that comfort zone and embracing stability, will I grow.

That's the eternal fight inside of me. I appreciate your way of looking at it though, for me a new and interesting perspective...Thanks :)
(We should still plan Iran/Syria trip though, as I said on the other blog, I'm definitely interested!)

Hi Monica, it's been a while...
About stability: I rent a room in Brussels (where I work) and another one in Warsaw (where I study and party) while most of my things I have in Gdynia (where my parents live). Living out of suitcases. Overworked and homeless - that's my life now.
See you around.

What you have said completely resonates with me. I am in constant search of stability but as soon as I have a taste of it I uproot everything I have planted and challenge myself with a new environment. It is hard to be completely satisfied with either a transient or a stable and secure lifestyle. Is there any way we can get the best of both?
