- Well, I’m back in London. This is my diary of the return, almost like a moving vlog, except I didn’t actually move. It’s almost like coming home, if London can ever truly be my home.

Hi Sarah. I don't comment often but seeing this video made me reflect on my life as of late. I feel, in many ways, I'm the same boat. I left behind a whole life in academia and philosophy (one I wanted follow through in its entirety. I love the aura it inspires and the way I see the world through it) for various reason and now...well..I'm not sure anymore. I had a large part of my identity being a certain type of person for years. Now, I feel like I don't have that anchor to align the rest of my goals around. And I don't necessarily think that the life I lead currently reflects that vibrancy and magic I once had either, nor are my goals and ambitions as clear as they once were. And I'm nervous to make a bold move into the unknown because I don't, per say, have a guttural drive to do any particular thing as I once did. Right now, I feel like I'm trying to maintain that old perception I once had on life, like it's a muscle I don't want to lose. There have been some positive trade-offs to changing over the years and I certainly have a stong sense of self. But I'm just not sure where to go and what point to focus my life towards (if that's even the "right" idea anymore). A bubble definitely burst for me and hearing your story makes me think that maybe the confusion, ambiguity and uncertainty is a valuable and fruitful phase of life. Anyway, thanks!
Wow, thank you so much for this comment, and I'm so glad that this video was helpful! I'm definitely in the same boat - feeling that the path I was once on and the goals I once had don't align with who I am now - but agree that there can be value in the uncertainty. (Though I also have to admit that I don't always see the value haha). Hope we both continue to find our way 😊
Couldn't agree more! Good luck with everything!😊
