Follow your heart

Top of Cerro Tute - Veraguas - Panama
I am wondering how everyone keeps telling me and even I preach the same, to be happy follow your heart.

I have tried many times, yet I seem to be hitting rocks every step of the way to then sit down to wonder some more, what is it?

Why do I doubt about myself at times? I know what my heart wants, yet I am not doing it. Why have I stopped dreaming, living?
Why I find myself just following the so-called life rules that aren't just mere perceptions of somebody else who thought it was the right way when in fact the only right way is the one that my heart tells me.

Why is it so hard for me to write about the things I want to, the things I dream of, why?

Am I afraid of what others might think? All I should care about is reading my thoughts out loud.  

There are two things I really want to do before I die, write and travel.

So shouldn't I just take the backpack and leave, just start walking, who cares about on which direction. The destination could be found on the way when the roads diverge, taking one might do all the difference, in the end, will be all about that moment, that decision, the road that was taken and the words written along the way. 

With these thoughts in mind, I am standing up for myself and finally doing what I should have done many years ago; I will start writing about anything and everything; because hopefully, one day I will look back and say: Wow, I finally did it! This was it.
