If you know me, you know that I never take risks. Everything is perfectly calculated and thought over. And while I've had plenty of time to think this decision over (four years, actually), I made this decision in a split second. Now I'm diving head first into one of the biggest risks imaginable.
For my friends back at home reading, or for anyone else really, my best friend sent me this article found below. It's pretty funny and accurate. But there's a quote from it that sums up my feelings right now:
"Packing up and leaving everything you know has got to be one of the gutsiest things I have ever seen someone do. It’s like breaking up with life as you know it…and being well aware that this trip may change it forever."
I know that this trip will change me in so many ways. It's such a bittersweet thing; I'll never be the same. We hardly ever get the chance to choose to do something that will change us forever, and here I am, the girl who never takes risks, heading out on an adventure of a lifetime.
I know I can do it, but it doesn't mean that I'm not scared. This has been my dream for forever. To reach my "one quote too many" mark, this quote from Disney's Tangled also sums up my feelings.
"Rapunzel: I've been looking out of a window for eighteen years, dreaming about what I might feel like when those lights rise in the sky. What if it's not everything I dreamed it would be?
Flynn Rider: It will be.
Rapunzel: And what if it is? What do I do then?
Flynn Rider: Well,that's the good part I guess. You get to go find a new dream."
Absolutely terrifying. But I hope that everyone gets to experience a feeling like this at some point in their lifetime. Until next time...
Love and Peace!
