Thank God

...for eventually finding out that I am not "The Very Center Of The World" ; and for the privilege of finding it out quite late.

I am spoiled. And so grateful for that!

And by this I actually mean:
when I start traveling I was thinking that everything is due to me, expecting to find the comfort of my own home in everyplace, and just because I was there of course that everybody automatically should dispose. Like I said: Center Of The World.

This erroneous point of view did not prevent me of enjoying the journey but made me condescending.

Tried to keep a "funny condescending" side of the story, made fun of myself too and was, still am and will be subjective. Just that now, when reading what I was writing years ago... well... I am proud to see there is an evolution.

I like traveling, I love discovering and this made me more of a traveler than a tourist, and later on I understood.

I understood that I am not The Center of the whole thing and this transformed entirely the shade glasses that I was looking through to the world.

Difficult to say that getting down from an pedestal does not hurt, but certainly it makes you more alive, more generous, more open; more.
