A Journey from Fear to Fulfilment

Written by: Natalie Becquet 9/28/2009 4:00:20 AM
When I was 21 years old, I finally met my mother. A beautiful woman with a great sense of style, my mother is confident, independent and strong. As we got to know each other, I learned that she had lived all over the world with her yacht captain husband and my young half-sister. It seemed like such an exciting life - a life of travel and adventure that I, a newly married woman just starting out on her own journey only dreamed of. That's when the travel bug bit me hard.

Fast forward 13 years and here I am; a single mother running her own business while trying to further my education. Although I have traveled extensively in my own beautiful country of Australia, I've yet to leave her shores. Earlier this year, I was supposed to go to Europe for a month to attend my brothers wedding...that long awaited for adventure was so close I could taste it. At the last minute, I canceled my ticket. Work commitments coupled with a reluctance to leave my autistic daughter for a month contributed to my decision, but underlying both of these things was fear. Fear of flying, fear of traveling alone and very likely a fear of happiness and success.

As soon as I canceled the ticket, I of course regretted my decision. At that moment, I made a promise to myself that I would never again let fear come in the way of my dreams and that I would take that trip in 2010 instead. A friend recently offered to come along, but while I appreciate the offer, I know this is something I need to do solo.

Living the single life after being a part of a pair for so long can be quite daunting, but every day I take steps to make it less so. In July I attended a rock concert alone, something I never thought I'd do. After the initial awkwardness, I had a blast and even made some new friends. Just to show how far I've come, I recently purchased a ticket to see Rob Thomas on February 14th next year. That's right – I'm attending a concert by myself on Valentines Day at a vineyard, surrounded by lovers on that most romantic of days. And I'm going to love it.
