The Transition
I have embraced the fact that I stopped cycling and am not missing it a whole lot. But sometimes there are these pangs of wanting to feel that excitement, the newness, the unknown, the full outside living, traversing vastness and fully soaked in to another culture.
I really loved reading this, the way you process your thoughts, your honesty and your writing style is beautiful. I can really empathise with the way you mourn the way you used to feel. But there is a time for everything in live. Love is a powerful force, and sometimes things seem hollow without your loved one. Thank you for your blog x

Hi Angela,
Indeed, I could never imagine that the things I loved most would be hollow without a loved one.
I could look at envy at those couples though. But I was always so glad to be alone, until I met my soulmate. Things totally change then!
Thank you for your input Angela.
Greetings Cindy

Thank you for sharing your feelings. So eloquent. So sincere. I remember those feelings. I had them too many years ago from now. It is what makes us human and those deep, tremulous pains in your soul are part of what it takes to be on the journey of life. One day all will be revealed and you will be happy and joyous once again.

Hi Denise, thank you for your kind words. I have said goodbye to one, and welcomed another. That my husband is so incredible fitting to me, makes me not even want to think about returning something I did, rather searching for something we can do together. And, this search goes very well.
I am thankful that I stopped cycling before I met my husband though : )
Now, we are on a journey with the two of us.
And I think, so are you Denise?

Thanks you for sharing your (many) adventures, and this recent one even more adventurous than the ones before. I’m amazed hearing you stretch beyond the solo touring female into a very big adventure: exploring that boundary between oneself and an other, the line between some imagined freedom and to uncover and discover the freedom that comes with companionship. Change is something that most of us fear, and you’re embracing it in an inspiring way. Thank you!

Wow! Vincent, that’s so beautiful said and I guess it is so true! It is easy to set boundaries and draw back from socialities or seek company when needed when one is alone. I mean, when one is alone, there is no tug other than yourself. And when with someone you truly want to be with, everything changes! For me, this is a very new adventure. One which I am determined to explore to the fullest! Change, for me, is essential. Thank you again, for commenting so nicely and for reading the post : )

After 15 years cycling and moving, I met a woman. Difficult love story, as she had felt in misery, as a lot in Spain, with all the psychological consequences for her. Well after 3 years, we win the bet, she is ok.
3 years while I just got back facing the rudeness of human being, helpless, mostly following the way to worst than to better, and empty chatting, about empty life, made from tv fashion cars parties , work and family. Always complaining, and never try to get of the tv telling way of life.
Comfort and love is not all, it doesn’t give me a meaning to live, a reason to awake. I am thinking to move away

Hi Pierre,
Comfort is not to be found in a house or a person who is not stable, sane nor sound.
Love, on the other hand, contains comfort but also the opposite. As it is safer to stay single. It depends on the right partner, and then I believe: two souls can become one!
I wish this for you too, Pierre.
Regards Cindy
