A New Adventure
Where did the time go? I haven't blogged since August?!
These few months all seem like a blur, even though many things happened and changed, for the better and for the worse. Sad fact #1: Gossip Girl ended. What will I do without my weekly dose of Chuck Bass?! Sad fact #2: school has been rough this year.
I am starting to figure out who I am and what I want from life, which makes things easier but also harder. I want to travel, see beautiful places, meet interesting people, see what the world is all about. These past months I have felt restricted, like I couldn't move. I was disappointed in the people around me, the people who are supposed to look out for me. Not only was this frustrating, but I also learned another lesson: people are just people. Even with a title, or an important position, performance is not guaranteed. I always try to see the best in people, but it becomes incredibly difficult when you are let down over and over again. Don't get me wrong, prep school has been great, I just feel that I need to move on and discover what living is REALLY all about. I don't believe living a fulfilled life means going to the best college, getting the best job, a lovely husband, three healthy children, and a golden retriever. Life should be much more than that. I believe we need adventure, we constantly need to remind ourselves to face our fears every day, do things that make us nervous, take risks. Because at the end of the day we will all die. I just don't want to lie on my deathbed thinking about all of the things I should have done.
This is why I am making some changes in my life, on which I will elaborate more when the time comes.
And what is my next adventure going to be? Catching my flight to Cape Town, South Africa tomorrow.
