Perla Meets The World

When was the last time you were challenged to the point of questioning all your beliefs? I feel like Jon Snow, not knowing anything anymore. It only took one month in Ubud to come to the realisation that I am fortunate to be alive, that the Balinese culture is pure kindness, and that we should all strive for happiness and what brings us joy. Because nothing really matters. 

I share my struggles, challenges, and joyful moments I experienced in Ubud and with my Balinese family. And I'd love for you to get inspired too, and go there yourself.

And just in a few days I will be flying out of Australia to a new, unknown, unexplored country: Indonesia. But wait, because that's not the only thing that has happened to me these past few weeks. I've got tattoos, I've been escorted by the police, them wearing bulletproof vests, I had a moment of realisation (even awakening) when I went back to read my old diaries, and I found out that what I wished then, is now my reality. What I thought impossible, came true 7 years later.  Watch to know what I am talking about. And share, subscribe, review...comment, all the things! Help others leave their comfort zone too :)

When was the last time you left your comfort zone? How did you feel? What did you learn? 

These past few weeks have been crazy: from a four-day siege where I had to be escorted by the police wearing bulletproof vests (them, not me!), to getting new tattoos, and my biggest announcement: here I am again, leaving my comfort zone after two and a half years of safe, planned life in Australia, to go away for two months. If you want to know more about where I am going next, what happened with that guy who was locked up in his unit, all about my tattoos, and how I face my own fears, keep watching/listening!

What does it mean to be alone? If you ask me, I would say that I have been feeling lonely most of my life. And traveling, I thought, was the cure. But as it turns out, it was only a symptom of a series of decisions, all focused on avoiding the feeling of loneliness. The school system and our education at home didn't help much either. But hey, there are silver linings here too.

If you want to share your point of view on loneliness and solitude, just send me an email: [email protected].

I'd love to hear from you!

What can you expect when you are healing from heartbreak? And what about if you also have Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), and anxiety? What do you feel exactly? What are the thoughts that come to mind? Today I open up about my grieving/healing process just two weeks after my first serious and long relationship ended. I share tips that are helping me navigate this situation, and lessons I am currently learning from this. If you are going through the same thing, know that you are not alone, and you can ask for help if it becomes too much. Please share this message with whoever needs to listen to this right now. Don't lose hope. Hang in there, because this too shall pass. And I am here with you.

In this three-way podcast, Episode One (Multilingual People) and Episode Four (How To Be A Human Being) join me on this chat where we try to reveal the unseen, unspoken, and unheard rules of being alive in the XXI (e.g. politics, sex, social media, education, culture, COVID, etc.) and most importantly, getting through the 2020’s.
