It was hard to get used to the big step I had taken at first. My husband is from Sweden, so I moved there. I had the worst year that first year. My whole family lives in the United States. It’s not like I could just go visit them. It can be hard to be passionate in the world. Even more so if you don’t know anything about the language, habits, or society.
As time progressed, I realized that my man’s family has taken me in as one of theirs. They have been helpful when I needed a hand, or just someone to talk to. That crushing sense of being lost slowly went away.
Passion Erupts
My husband really wanted me to feel welcomed and enjoy my time in his home country. He wants to build a house for his family. I seem to have lost that drive. But by the middle of the first year, I was back to following my dreams, and I found one in the country.
My hands frantically took out a notebook, and my writing began again. When I’m writing, it’s like I open doors that have been locked for ages. Knowledge is power and with writing, it can be acquired. At least this is something that I believe.
A passion I’ve had for a long time is helping nature, animals, and others. With how the world is nowadays, we are in dire need for more people like that. There are little things that anyone can do that will help all of us. For example, I have started this website that’s dedicated to the outdoor world, especially outdoor adventures. Which I believe will help others with new experiences and enjoy new and exciting activities!
Ways to help the environment, animals, and people:
- Recycling
- Compost
- Have a veggie garden
- Fix and reuse clothes
- Bicycle when you can
- Use transport systems (train, bus, etc.)
- Try to give back to the community (volunteer, pick up trash)
- Shop locally
All of these can help all of us. Our earth is going through some tough times right now and we aren’t giving her a break! Think before you decide to litter or before you think of throwing away clothes.
Give into your Heart
There are many people in the world with nothing. You can donate clothes. Recycling can save the sea life and animals in the nature. Having your own veggie garden will help reduce the chemicals going back into our ground. You get to decide what goes on your plants. Composting can help give nutrients to your garden and helps the earth.
Less pollution will be made by public transportation and biking. Think about this the next time you need to get somewhere. Many places offer more than one choice. Finally, helping others is good for everyone in the community. That will make it more fun, and it will bring people together to save the Earth!
You and your Passion
You should find your interest, just like I did. Move to a different country if you want to. Don’t worry about all the possible outcomes. That is something that can ruin a dream. Once you get there, keep what interests you. The world needs more people who are enthusiastic.
