The Profound Why Behind My Lifestyle ❀ The First Festive Decorations Have Arrived At the Cottage ❀

Hello everyone. The darker times are upon us and as much as daylight is so much shorter, we are able to observe the magical sunrises and sunsets. It is one of the reasons why I am looking forward to this quieter time of the year. This week I set my alarm extra early, pre-packed all I needed for filming and went out in the morning to provide you with this stunning and magical videography that I was able to capture. The contrast between the frantic rhythms of my old life and the windy embrace of living by the sea allows me to showcase the Scottish landscape as a character of healing rather than just a backdrop. I aim to share the beauty with you, my lovely viewers, in the hope that some of this beauty touches your soul, speaks to you, or simply pleases your eyes. Stillness of nature, even though we have many windy days, create calm and embrace me with an ancient feeling of home. Around ten years ago, I discovered that I am highly sensitive, which was a discovery with a profound change in my life. Until then, I had often been hearing comments on how I was too emotional, too sensitive to light, sound or certain fabrics. My inner deep world was hardly being able to connect to others and I very often felt misunderstood, unheard, and lonely. Socializing was exhausting and coming from a large family I dreaded the many occasions of gatherings. Today living in Scotland, embracing nature and the magic that I see every day allows me to live quiet and what people would call unsocial. I prefer an empty space over a busy one because when it is me in nature, I am fully connected to the land, to the history and feel at ease and as one with nature. This feeling is taken away by man-made noises, crowds and all that modern life means. Unsocial seems to mean disconnected to other people. But even though I prefer to be alone, I have dear friends whom I see very regularly. Coming to terms with being considered unsocial was very easy for me, as my life is happier than it has ever been. I just prefer to live slow and simple, and surround myself with the beauty that nature provides in all seasons. It was so worth it getting up extra early today to experience this majestic sunrise. I so appreciate living close to the sea, as well as all the beauty that Scotland has to offer. As I said, as a highly sensitive person, being in nature, surrounded by its elements, is my sanctuary. The stillness, the calmness, and even the times when it's loud and windy and the sea It's roaring. I also would like to take the opportunity to say thank you to anyone commenting on my vlogs. I do read all of your comments, even though I might not have the time to respond. As you might know, I do have a busy life and I try to live it calm and simple and slow. So sometimes I just don't get around to answer anything, but I do read them and I do appreciate them. So please keep commenting, keep sharing and maybe you have a recipe that you would also like to put in the comments once in a while. And with this, let me send you to the last part of the vlog. Let me say goodbye now. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. And as always, I'm sending you all my love from Scotland. Tach ba leif!
