Big question.
And it’s probably the one I receive the most since I’m back in Europe. I perfectly understand the curiosity since I’m sharing this adventure and my thoughts with you. It’s very hard to answer though. The past 2.5 years, I was busy deconstructing what I’ve been taught since I’m a little girl: to organise, to plan, to anticipate, and especially, to match the society I come from the best way possible. The problem is: I always felt different, very different. I grew up in a nomadic lifestyle which made me curious enough to understand the world around me and to challenge my soul, nonstop.
I haven’t felt the need to build a family, a home, to settle down in one place, yet. Before this solo expedition, I was honestly hoping to finally realise that I needed all that at the end, or that I would miss the family spirit and the references security. But the truth is: no. Not yet, and maybe never. I don’t want to lie, I don’t want to pretend or to force something which does not come naturally. I never dreamt to be a princess, nor to live in a castle.
Today, more than ever, I would like to keep on living this life on the road and to work again. That’s the plan. Also, I’ve got a new idea for Rafiki: to get rid of the current setup to transform it into a real home… I keep you posted!
