Limitless



I feel limitless..

when i returned from Chicago my mom told me this story. she said that although i didn't know, when i walked into the airport and went through customs, she waited outside the sliding glass doors and watched. she said she was starting to realize, this was how life would soon be... her supporting me, but having to let go of me, and me traveling all over the country, all over the world. she said it made her cry. as she told me this, i couldn't help but shed a few tears myself. she was right.

chicago was the time of my life, but more than that, it was yet another step in an inevitable direction for me. i've always looked forward to the day where i'd travel by myself, explore, learn, and experience. and with everything thats held me back out of my way, the world is mine for the taking.

I've waited my whole life to feel this alive..

this newfound happiness is overwhelming, but this joyous suffication is what's finally allowing me breath. all i see ahead of me is miles and miles of possibilites, and what i feel inside of me is the stillness of peace yet the movement of my feet... i'm going places. places i've never thought possible. & i'm feeling things. emotions i never thought were in my reach.

Oh to be alive!

I'm no longer afriad to feel this way..

  1. I can completely relate. I know that every time I travel, My parents are constantly thinking about me, constantly waiting to see if I call. They know now that me being in different places is almost safer, because that seems to be home to me.

    I want to go check out my "places I've been" on facebook and update the hell out of it.

    I know that when I travel, as I've done for every spring break as far back as I can remember, and any other possible free time I've had, It's building a positive habit that will last. A positive habit of travel that will only strengthen and enlighten me.

    I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
    Chicago is one of my favorite cities.
    Maybe next time we can do the trip together.
