I sometimes wonder where I would be if I had never found these frozen lakes.
After my accident, I spent a long time trying to find my way back to the life I had before. But somewhere along the way, I realised that maybe I wasn’t supposed to.
These places gave me something I didn’t know I was looking for. Joy. Curiosity. A reason to get up ridiculously early, drive for hours, freeze my toes off 😂 and feel completely alive.
It’s a life that makes very little sense according to the standards I grew up with. I’m not climbing a corporate ladder. I don’t really know what my life will look like five years from now. And somehow, I’m happier than I ever was when I had a much clearer answer to that question.
Maybe finding your way back doesn’t always mean going back.
Sometimes you find an entirely different way forward. 🤍
