Addressing the UNKNOWN….part 2

Standard

So this technically my first post on my fancy new blog!! You may be asking yourself why the strange title? Well, I am glad you mumbled to yourself while staring at a screen! I want to you to understand my reasons on why I am doing this in the first place.

  1. In the world today you have the ability to go anywhere!
  2. I have been wanting and dreaming of traveling since I was a young girl.
  3. It’s the road not taken.
  4. It looks great on applications 😉
  5. I want to be out of my comfort zone x50
  6. I traveled everywhere in my books, now I want to experience it for real.
  7. Escape.
  8. I have seen what my future could be, safe and secure with a simple life. I DON’T WANT THAT.
  9. I want to be apart of something bigger than myself.
  10. At the end of my life I want to feel like I have lived.

Those were only of the few things I could think of on a Thursday night. I would like to leave you with the words of Robert Frost.

“Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”

The Road Not Taken, Robert Frost
