I lived for 1 year in the countryside in Nepal and even if I had little water, little electricity and little internet, I cried every day and it was crap. I learned a lot from that experience. I was more connected with the nature, I started to give more priority what I really feel to do it and I think I still have to figure out what happened inside me there.
Was I more happy living in those shitty conditions? No.
Did it make me re-evaluate everything? yes.
The photo of the lotus is lovely, by the way :)
