Chile

So, It's time...I'm leaving tuesday officially. It seems like when you're getting ready to leave there are always so many people, things, events, etc... that make you say..."oh..well...maybe i'll stay a few more days". One of my best friends just got married yesterday. I've spent so much time preparing for the wedding and waiting for her big day to come, and now that it's officially over, I've suddenly realized that I've been ready to leave on my own travels for about a month or two now. Like, I really could leave tonight and it wouldn't be a big deal. So....that is it...i'm leaving tuesday the 31st...the original date that I had picked to leave. I'm excited for this: not being about to see, imagine, or predict my future. It's interesting and sad to be in a situation where you can look at your life several years down the road and see exactly where it is going...i feel like i've pulled myself out of that, and now, I can't imagine anything but the next few days.

I had a sort of morbid thought a couple of days ago. I can't see myself living to old age....it doesn't really make me sad though. I've decided that the passing of time doesn't even bother me if I am living well and not holding myself back. I don't care when I die so long as I am thriving and staying true to the journey and the light that is in my heart.

So, off to Chile...and many adventures to come...
