Something Learned

Hope

Another thing I learned in Slovenia is to take the time to enjoy what is going on around me.  Currently, at home, I am super stressed and only thinking about the future and all of the assignments I have to do. When I started to think of something to write about for this blog, I reflected on how I acted and felt in Slovenia. I was certainly not stressed like I am now. The lifestyle there is so much more relaxed in a way that was comfortable. There was no rush from the people there. Every restaurant we went would take time because they want us to enjoy each other's company while we prepare to eat a meal together. Of course, there were times when we had places to be at certain times and deadlines, yet none of that stressed me out while I was there.  I think this was because I wanted to soak in all of the experiences as they came. Now, at home, I have nothing 'new' to experience, so I am just stressing out about the future. I need to relax, do something fun, and not lose sight of the people around me or the small, new experiences that I could create for myself. Thank you, Slovenia, for showing/teaching me this new life skill.
