a traveler’s lesson
The biggest thing I’ve carried away from this trip (apart from learning to appreciate home more) is that life is too short and too precious to be caught up in only school and work. As hedonistic as it sounds. I have met so many people from all walks of life, each with their own stories and most with an unique path of getting to where they are. They have it right. Live while you are young. There’s plenty of time to work when you’re older and can’t handle lugging around a 40 pound backpack. But there’s so much out there, not just the sights, history and lifestyle of hundreds of different cultures, but also the emotions and purpose that drive every individual and in turn, every society. It truly is an incredible world. So get out of that library you’re slaving away in and out of that invisible bubble that defines your life and go see it!
