My first trip abroad was to Poland, to visit my sister. It was so exciting—new city, new country, and I was finally going to see her after such a long time. I really liked the country—a lot of cozy streets, cute cafés, and that special European vibe you feel everywhere.
One day, my sister asked me to go to the store to get a cake for tea while she was making dinner. The store was literally around the corner, and I remembered the way there perfectly. I confidently went to get the treat, already imagining how I’d come back with the cake and we’d enjoy the evening together. But as soon as I left the store, I had this strange feeling. All the houses around looked exactly the same! It felt like déjà vu—everything seemed familiar, but I couldn’t remember the way back.
I stood there for a few minutes, looking around, not sure where to go. There were no familiar turns, and I had no clue what to do, except trust my intuition. "It can’t get any worse," I thought and started walking, trying to remember some landmarks. But even when I got to a building, I didn’t remember the apartment number or the floor.
At first, I just stood by the entrance, thinking what to do next. Which building, which floor? What if I was wrong? Then, as if by magic, someone came out of the building! The door stayed open, and I managed to get inside. I still wasn’t sure if it was the right place. I stood there, afraid to knock on what seemed like a familiar door, worried that someone else might open it.
But, as if she sensed I was there, my sister opened the door, smiling. She immediately understood I got lost but tried not to laugh. "So, you didn’t forget the way, huh?" she joked as I handed her the cake. I still remember how funny and a little scary it was, but everything turned out fine in the end.
After that, I learned that even when you’re lost, trust your gut and don’t be afraid to take a step forward. Sometimes the answers come when you least expect them. And maybe the door you’re scared to open is exactly the one you need.
