Wow, thanks for the sharing with such honesty and vulnerability, very inspiring I must say. While I was reflecting on why I was feeling something was off in my life, I actually ended up writing for myself what I have achieved in my life, versus those self promises we make to ourselves. It helped me to love myself a little more and accept that sometimes, a little patience and compassion is all we need. Reading your post has just gave me a little more energy in my patience and compassion. Thanks
Thank you for reading and taking the time to comment 🙏
I love this “a little patience and compassion is all we need” > we tend to be harsh with ourselves, and much more compassionate with others. We should apply the same level of kindness - or even more - to ourselves ❤️
Thing is, a new place in the map for a new life won’t solve things. The place is not the problem. I actually love Bangkok… and I don’t think many places out there would get me what I get here.
It’s not a location issue, it’s me adapting to a more ordinary lifestyle after getting used to an unconventional one.
Appreciate the honesty of this piece, Jeremie! I think it’s very hard (even when you have an objectively great lifestyle) not to fall into the entropy of a “meh” mood or period. To me, it almost feels like there’s constant friction working against us. However, the actions you’re already taking (e.g., working out consistently, socializing, etc.), as well as meditating, are exactly what help us push back against that resistance!
Thank you Caterina. It’s interesting you’re saying that, because I don’t feel I’m doing enough to push it back… I still feel more is necessary for some reasons. Something to reflect on. Thank you!
An interesting perspective. I’m sort of going through something similar. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for reading 🙏 Anything resonated with you?

Hi Jeremie
I enjoyed your article.
What you feel is real: You are not happy.
Its that time again.
A new challenge is awaiting for you.
You feel worried that this might disturb the balance with you and your loved one but history has shown that she backs your every step.
So talk with her.
Tell her the truth and find a new place in the map for a new life, I think if she loves you she would understand.
I have thought about it a lot.

And she knows, we talk about it a lot together.
I relay on that,I had a relaxed lifestyle in Italy with my fiancee but I often felt caged in a box .
I couldn't settle down like others do .
In the end I moved out and started a new life.
What you feel is real and it's the signal for doing something and that more often than not is scary.
But you need to please the little fella in you, remember that.

I think some of us humans are programmed this way , always looking for a challenge a project.
Sometimes our brain is always searching for the next challenge.
You make total sense to me not sure I am articulating what I mean.
Thank you Amanda. Are we weirdos together then 🤣?
But yes, it’s exactly that, my brain is searching for something… not necessarily more of something, but something new… something to feel, feel alive.
