At least almost 😅 We've traveled far, seen a lot, and experienced a lot. The goal was to become mentally stronger and handle more on my own. Not always rely on others' confidence but trust myself. Have I achieved that?

A walk on the beach triggered a chain of thoughts about waves and challenges. I seek everyday challenges that provide a sense of mastery in the hope of becoming better at dealing with changes.

I've found that I like having roots and being in one place. But I continue the search for inner peace. At least I know which places bring me peace.

We are now halfway through the journey. I have completed some of the challenges I had planned. But I still have a few left. Nevertheless, I feel like I've come a long way and achieved a lot.

Coincidences can be fun. Sometimes. I'm practicing not planning everything and have had some fun experiences because of it.

Seattle has left an impression on me. People living on the streets and others openly using drugs. I look at my life in a slightly different way now.

I have been to national parks in the USA. It was scary, amazing, and absolutely beautiful. I was scared and fascinated at the same time. A wild experience and a victory that I embraced all the emotions!

I've gotten sick, and it led to a new meltdown. I'm not good at being ill, especially when I'm not at home. But I'm getting through it with help.

I'm learning new things on this USA journey. Like that I can take a step back, get an overview, and then react. Everything doesn't have to happen all at once or quickly. I'm taking control.

The first few days of the Great USA Trip are behind us. I'm enjoying, crying, laughing, stressing, breaking down, and getting back up. It's awsome to feel a sense of accomplishment!
