I am leaving to study abroad for 5 months! It is going to be magical. I have always been a traveler; it is my passion so I make it happen.
This summer had it's stressful moments- as saving for any big adventure does. I would'nt trade any of it.
I have been on a self journey for sometime now, but this summer I leaned a lot of hard lessons- but they have freed me.
I have leaned, in this past year specifically, how to fully, truly love myself- and it is beautiful.
I find myself being able to deal with drama, stress, emotions, people, and myself a whole lot better.
It is a glorious thing. I have myself AND my friends to thank for that.
That's what made leaving for this adventure harder than anytime I have left for a lengthy amount of time. I know it my sound a bit strange to be so sad when I will return in just a few short months.
I feel so lucky to have such strong characters in my life that make leaving this hard. I love how diverse and random the group of people I have established for myself is. I never get bored, and never know what to accept. Why limit yourself to the same type of friends and people in your life. Where is the excitment in that? This is just another life lesson for me. This summer showed me different sides of my friends and I, it showed me who your true friends are, it showed me where to invest my time, and it showed me what really matters in life.
I am so ready for this time that I have ahead. It's going to be golden/ I'll be walking the cobblestone streets of Europe with strangers that will eventually become friends; I will most likely be drunk or on drugs, and i'll look around myself and know that the majority of this trip will be a moment. A moment of inner growth, a moment of letting go, or accepting, of new things, of adventures, and of being alive.
I can't wait to live and evolve even more into the person I am starting to love more everyday. Me.
