The Destination



I have loved every second of writing on this blog. I have loved hearing your thoughts and feedback, I have loved writing down parts of my journey and sharing it with you, and I have loved keeping a log of all the things I’ve learned over the years.

This is going to be my last official blog post for On A Journey…. The blog is two years old now (!) and, wow, what a journey it’s been. Out of all the places I imagined myself in, I would never have imagined things being like they are now. And a part of me finds that kind of scary, but an even bigger part of me finds that exciting and intriguing; you never really know what’s going to happen.
And although these aren’t ideal circumstances that my family and I are in right now, I have learned so much over the past couple of years since I started this blog. Back then I was finding who I am and learning to accept it; I was trying to become secure in myself and learn things about life that I wasn’t sure about yet.

And after these two years, I feel that I know who I am now. I accept myself the way I am (most of the time!) and I also acknowledge that I’m allowed to change. My opinions – my likes and my dislikes – are allowed to change over the years.

The girl I was two years ago when I started this blog is barely the same girl typing this right now. I’m different. In a good way, I believe. I know who I am.
And by no means am I saying that I’m perfect or that I have it all figured out, because that’s not the point here. In fact, that’s the complete opposite of the point.

I don’t have it all figured out. I’m starting a new season in my life and, really, I’m only just beginning.

So I’ve decided to start a new blog, dedicated to moments in my life that I would love to share. I’m planning to share recipes, musings, good experiences and opinions. I want to spread sunshine and individuality in my new blog.
So I hope you’ll join me on my new journey; this new season in my life as I blog from a different perspective.

Back in the early days of On A Journey… I thought I knew what the destination was. But now I’ve realised that it’s not about the destination because, ultimately, this life is only temporary. It’s about enjoying the journey towards wherever I will end up; enjoying the moments that make life worth living. And this is what I hope to blog about from now on.

So this is my goodbye to On A Journey…, I guess, and a thank you to all of you who have followed me on it. It’s been a great journey, and here’s to the next chapter of our lives.
  
I’ll hopefully be seeing you over at my new blog, to be published hopefully very soon!

Love,

Ellie ♥
