No one knows.

There's no way learning can take place when we are rooted in one place. Unmoving like stagnant water only to dry up when the sun comes.

I have always had it in mind to travel more for years now. I explore different dimensions with my mind while my butt gets gummed on my bed. I am not a fan of going out unless, to work, for me time or to the market. And that was how I took life. Though I knew of the world through the internet and well, partly from little experiences I have had in my childhood. But, apart from that, there's this sense of comfort I find in my room all alone. I derive peace from it.

However, I knew I wanted more. I didn't like traveling long distances in a transit where I'll have to sit down for hours, especially in a country like mine. The experiences I have gotten going to work aren't great. I end up with body pain, which I do not like cos... My body is in pain!

Maybe that was one of the things that made it hard for me to travel to different places I'd want to go to all by myself. And then, the next was finance, which sucks more. But, things changed a bit a few years ago.

Though, I wouldn't say I travel much now, but it sure has improved. By traveling to other states, I have gotten to see ways people do things differently from where I come from, and it has been a learning phase for me.

There are times we'd want to explore things in life, but then, we get scared of one thing or the other. Just like Dan Stevens has said;

The comfort zone is the great enemy to creativity; moving beyond it necessitates intuition, which in turn configures new perspectives and conquers fears.

When we don't move from our comfort zone, it is hard to see things differently and that can be dangerous in some ways because life isn't rosy and we don't know the plans it has for us. Just like how some parents find it hard to let their kids explore. To them, they are keeping the children safe, but for how long would they always be there for them?

"No one knows".

This is why with good morals instilled in them, let them see the world, and ask questions then, you can direct them. That way, they will gain a new perspective of how life is outside their comfort zone and get to learn as well.

Leaving our comfort zone can be/is scary, and if I were to listen to the tiny voice in my head right now, I'd say;

"Don't ever leave the place or something that gives you comfort or keeps you safe."

But, that would be me holding you(me) back from the creativity that awaits you and the knowledge waiting to be absorbed by you. So, try out new things, go to that place you've been dreaming about, explore, and don't stop learning and being happy.
