“In the end, we only regret the chances we didn’t take, the relationships we were afraid to have, and the decisions we waited too long to make”
Lewis Carroll
The decision.
Several months ago, in late 2023, I made a life-changing decision: “Live your life as you dream it. Without compromise, excuses, or giving a f*ck about what other people think.”
This decision marked a pivotal moment in my life, and this blog is my platform to share my thoughts with the world. I aim to inspire people like myself to embrace the same philosophy.
My name is Chen, and I am currently 23 years old, from Israel. After graduating high school, I joined the army, as is mandatory in Israel. Three years of service as a combat medic later, I was released, only to be called back as a reservist for the “Iron Sword War.” Another six months of hard service followed, four of them inside Gaza, fighting for my country. At that point, I was 22 and realized that my life is a gift and that I should embrace it fully. I decided to “live my life as I dream it. Without compromise, excuses, or giving a f*ck about what other people think.” Life is too damn short, and I am fortunate to still walk this earth, so I shouldn’t take it for granted.
Since then, I have embarked on a journey, both physical and mental. I have traveled through Asia, explored new places, and met new people. Each step of this journey has reinforced my belief in living authentically and passionately. I’ve taken my hobby as a photographer more seriously, capturing the essence of the stunning landscapes and diverse cultures I encounter. This blog is my way of sharing these experiences, the beauty of the world, and my personal reflections. Through my lens and words, I hope to convey the profound impact of living true to oneself.
Thank you for joining me on this journey. Through my stories and images, I hope to inspire you to live your life as you dream it, embracing every moment without compromise. Let’s explore the world together, one dream at a time.
