Queridos seres queridos: una carta abierta a quienes dejamos atr\u00e1s\u2026<\/h3>\n

Cuando les dije que me iba, no sab\u00eda ad\u00f3nde me dirig\u00eda. Solo sab\u00eda que ten\u00eda que irme.<\/p>\n

Me miraron con una sonrisa divertida y tristeza en los ojos. Mis divagaciones emocionadas sobre la necesidad de escapar de mi zona de confort y vivir mi vida los confundieron. \u00bfAcaso la vida no era ya buena aqu\u00ed?<\/p>\n

Les di un mill\u00f3n de razones mientras intentaba justificar este nudo en mi est\u00f3mago. Mi coraz\u00f3n anhelaba novedades, tierras que nunca hab\u00eda visto y gente que nunca hab\u00eda conocido. No fue f\u00e1cil de explicar. Me sent\u00ed ego\u00edsta. Tal vez soy ego\u00edsta.<\/p>\n

Habl\u00e9 con todo el conocimiento que pude sobre las islas tailandesas en las que iba a aprender a bucear, las monta\u00f1as que iba a escalar. Pero no ten\u00eda ni idea. T\u00fa te dabas cuenta de eso y s\u00e9 que te preocupaba. Me preguntaste si esto era lo que realmente quer\u00eda. No lo sab\u00eda, pero dije que s\u00ed de todos modos.<\/p>\n

Hablamos, pero yo ya hab\u00eda tomado una decisi\u00f3n. Me preguntaste c\u00f3mo iba a hacerlo, y me dejaste divagar sobre autobuses, trenes y presupuestos. Sinceramente, no ten\u00eda ni idea de c\u00f3mo iba a sobrevivir. Ten\u00eda tantos miedos: no volver a hablar con nadie, enfermarme y quedarme sola, simplemente no poder hacerlo. Quiz\u00e1s pasar\u00eda un a\u00f1o encerrada en un albergue compartiendo im\u00e1genes inspiradoras que encontrara en Google.<\/p>\n

A pesar de todos tus miedos, me apoyaste de todos modos. Tus palabras de aliento y amor me dieron luz verde para lanzarme a la aventura. Mi viaje nunca habr\u00eda sido posible sin ustedes, les estoy muy agradecida.<\/p>\n

Lloramos, nos abrazamos, intercambiamos cartas y prometimos mantenernos en contacto. Incluso en ese entonces, en el fondo, sab\u00edamos que las cosas nunca volver\u00edan a ser igual.<\/p>\n

Pero me fui de todos modos.<\/p>\n

He aprendido que puedo hacerlo. Viajar es un privilegio por el que estoy eternamente agradecida. Todos esos miedos desaparecieron y la pura maravilla y libertad que siento cada d\u00eda es hacia lo que me dirig\u00eda.<\/p>\n

S\u00e9 que he cambiado y no pude evitarlo. Sigo siendo yo, pero bueno, tambi\u00e9n soy diferente. Me encanta mi vida de viajera y he aprendido a estar contenta y en paz. Envidio tu serenidad intr\u00ednseca, pero por favor entiende que tuve que irme para encontrar la m\u00eda.<\/p>\n

Te quiero, pero tambi\u00e9n amo viajar.<\/p>\n
