And yet, New York, I love you. And I don’t mean that in the colloquial way, but in that ridiculous all-consuming inconvenient can’t live without you kind of way.

Fight hatred with love. Fight ignorance with kindness. Fight injustice with an open heart. It’s not ok to be complacent anymore.

Traveling comes in all forms, but is so much more than the photos, the mementos, and the memories you bring home. If you are open to the unknown, there are trips that can transform your very notion of what it means to be alive.

The thing is, if you’re trying to convince someone that they should be with you, that they should commit to you, that they should love you, you’ve already lost.

I’ve chosen a life of adventure, of trips that transform my very notion of being alive

We’re too busy fearing rejection and protecting ourselves from anything that could go wrong that we forget how to truly feel. 

It may be uncomfortable and unfamiliar at times, but that’s the beauty of it.

It’s the desperate dream of faraway places that I don’t even know exist. I was born for leaving and I can’t stop.
