So I got to thinking…I leave in 3 weeks and 2 days. Am I excited or am I nervous or am I scared? I think it’s all of the above. You know, I didn’t really sit down and thought to myself: I’m leaving all my friends and family and everything that I know and that I am familiar with for an entire year. I am going to go to places that I’ve never been before and be on my own for an entire year. This is a scary thought. Ok, it’s actually 2 separate thoughts but they are both pretty darn scary. I’ve pretty much planned this trip on the fly over the last six months so I’ve never really thought about the fact that I’m leaving for an entire year. It’s always just been that I’m going traveling for an entire year. I guess you could say that I’m looking forward and not looking back. I guess this is why people don’t like to think. J
Seriously though, I will admit that I am nervous about being on my own, a little scared even. But I refused to let these two emotions dictate my trip and my life. I have acknowledged these emotions and now I am letting them go. This trip will be fantastic, fabulous and fun. I am strong and I am ready and I can do it. Not only can I do; I will do it well. I am ready to explore the world and see what different places have to offer. I am ready to experience different cultures and different lifestyles. I am ready to tackle obstacles and challenges that life will throw in my way. I am ready to find out who I am and what I want to do and what I want in life. I am ready.
This will be one heck of a trip.
