Not just thinking, but fantasizing, wishing, yearning.
Not just fantasizing, but exploring.
-John A. Shedd
Theres a world that was meant for our eyes to see.
Sofia Sforza
-Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron.
Every time I hear this lyric, I think of the vast, immense beauty around me.
Throughout time, humans have been known to wander.
There are countless stories of explorers with no clear destination but rather an idea, a dream.
The world is an enormous place.
We shouldnt stay in our tiny corner of it.
There is so much to see and so much to learn.
Travel takes away very little from our lives.
Money youve spent can be regained.
Time, on the other hand, may be spent, but it is not lost.
You gain so much more from traveling than you give.
And in life, those who give, gain the most.
Not till we are lost…, do we begin to find ourselves.
Youll experience a different side of yourself that comes out in a situation you cannot control.
Itll be in that state of vulnerability where you may meet a new part of you.
But youll come out of it as a new person.
No matter what path of self-discovery you take, you will be a changed human.
Youll still be YOU, but a more developed, wiser you.
If theres even a slight chance at getting something that will make you happy, risk it.
Lifes too short, and happiness is too rare.
Lucas
Take a chance and strive towards happiness.
If traveling could give that to you, then make it happen.
Dont constantly put something off because every single thing is not in order.
Trust that life works out how it is supposed to and leap.
One of the few things in life that truly matters, and will always matter, is happiness.
Take risks and follow your dreams, wherever in the world they made lead you to.
To live is the rarest thing in the world.
Most people exist, that is all.
-Oscar Wilde
If you remember only one thing from this article, remember this: Live.
It is a privilege, a gift.
Maybe for you this doesnt require going to another country and thats okay.
But dont live your whole life sitting on a couch with minutes endlessly passing you by.
Something that will make you happy.
I promise you, itll be worth it.La bella e vita.
