"If traveling was free, you would never see me again."
Winter has come and now is finally leaving in dear ole wisconsin. Here I am still watching it leave with this same desire in my heart.
Back to real life is cold water being splashed in my face. Nothing has changed in the long winter months, picking up more hours at a part-time job, and trying to squeeze school in there somewhere. This is the result of not writing for a long while.
The last few months of school has been hard, despite the fact that I still have one more year of high school ahead of me. In many ways school just feels like chains around my feet preventing me from living life to the fullest while I'm young. But then there is the times when I remind myself that no, I do not know everything (yet) so just get it done.
After a long day of school I thought about this. So I set myself a goal to, in a way, reward myself for graduating and surviving high school. After graduation, to go on a USA road trip. I'm not thinking just a week or two... this is like a full blown 3-4 month trip. Camping the west and sight-seeing the east.
Yes, I know its going to be pricey but that won't fade this goal. But then the next question is do I go alone or with friends? I have read other people's opinion about it, most have said that traveling alone helps you dramatically to become more independent. I thought about it and I do agree don't get me wrong, but I'm just a plain people person. Wouldn't memories be more memorable when you share them with people who are very close to you? I guess that is my greatest fear, doing it alone physically. And by that, I mean that God will always be there with me in Spirit, its just the physical loneliness. What do you think? I have one more year... just one! I pray that it goes by fast and that this dream goal will come true. That reminds me of a very uplifting verse that I found that has encouraged me to keep going with full force is;
Romans 8:18 "The pain that you've feeling, can't compare to the joy that's coming."
