We keep saying we’re going to travel the world together & I hope that’s true.
Planning Italy put me in a different headspace for a while and I loved it because I never thought I would get there. But honestly, now that we’re home, I feel like I got catapulted back into reality. Spencer is moving away for 12 weeks for an education program (help help help) and I don’t know where we will end up after that. We’re all hitting our mid twenties, graduating, launching careers, talking about our future families, taking business risks & lately a huge part of my heart is just breaking because time is flying past us so quick. Halfway through our trip we stopped at this little ice cream shop & the box they served us with had this note that said “never stop playing.” & like if I wasn’t trying to be so cool in front of my friends i probably would have started crying cause it hit me KINDA HARD. I have NO IDEA where we will be next year this time. I have no idea where our lives are going to take us. But no matter what happens I think i just want that to be my life motto. Doonnntt get hung up working your life away only to be unhappy & stressed & missing out on so many life experiences. Not to drag this on forever BUT I also watched this video the other day that talked about how so many people think it’s selfish to do things for themselves. But that’s not true. YOU GOTTA DO YOU & be happy for yourself before you can be happy for anyone else. & I just think.. it’s so important to set goals, reach goals, accomplish the things that you really want, that make you YOU, before you can tell ANYONE else to do the same. I just want one day to be able to look back on my life & be able to tell all the people I love that I am genuinely happy and accomplished all that I want to do, so I can encourage them to go for it too. To take the risk, try new things, and make something of themselves. anyway, this was the trip of our lives so far so hope you enjoy. Go do something rad for yourself today because you deserve it
