my newest hero

Dreams. Aspirations. Desires. Seriously, how many of us have a bucketlist? I know that the movie was talked about a lot after it came out (I personally never actually saw it), but I feel as though a lot of people think that things... I wouldn't say aren't possible, but perhaps rather "realistic." They've come to the conclusion that life is, well, dull, I suppose, and they take it in stride that they won't really ever get a chance to do all the things they wish they could. Life is busy, and therefore, no one has the time or the money to do anything but normal life. I'm sorry if it bothers you (though I don't understand why it would), however, I'm not accepting that as my fate.

Check this guy out. Seriously, he's my newest hero. The average, normal guy. But he found made a way to accomplish his goal to travel around the world. 20 months, 22 countries. That's INCREDIBLE. I love travel. There's this image in my head of myself, 10 years from now or so, after being done with college. Me, with my history degree, and living like I'm broke as hell, whether or not I actually am, saving money, penny by penny until I go and see all the things that I've learned about. Saving money until I can take a trip to see with my own eyes all of the places that have influenced people for decades, or centuries. Maybe I'll write about it. Maybe I'll become a tour guide. I am not suited for a job that puts me behind a desk. I think I'd rather shove pencils through my eyes than wear business attire and sit at a desk for the rest of my life. I crave adventure.

I dare you, whoever you might be, to realize that yes, God has a plan for your life. I'm not contesting that. However, that does not mean that the plan is boring, or dull. It perhaps neither lacks surprise, nor adventure. If you have a dream - maybe it's to travel somewhere, or do something, or see something - find a way to do it! Stop playing victim and saying that it'll never happen, you will regret it someday. You might think you don't have the time, nor the energy, nor the money, and yes, sometimes you have to work for it. But - it's possible. You can probably achieve it if you actually have the motivation and determination to simply go and do it. It's likely that you're the only thing in your own way.

I trying to plan a trip at the moment. I couldn't be more excited.
