(no subject)
Okay, so not much time before I fly to St. Louis and start my journey of travels until I leave for Montana!
I somehow managed to fit everything I wanted to take into one relatively small suitcase and one backpack, a huge feat for me. I overpack...usually.
Last night I couldn't sleep I was so excited and my knees were giving me problems, but hey, what's new.
I tried to say goodbye to everyone yesterday but that was really difficult and I feel bad about not seeing a few people that I meant to see. I just realized that when I get back I won't have much time and I won't really be just "hanging out" anymore, I'll be "saying goodbye". Which bums me out in the best way possible. No doubt I'm going to miss my friends and family, but this new chapter of my life may be the most exciting thing I have ever done...MOVED AWAY! From everyone! I know I'm going to be one of those kids that comes back from college bummed that I even have to spend 6 weeks at home.
Yesterday Abby and I wanted to go hike a mountain and sit at the summit like we did in Colorado but its not readily available here in Memphis and we got pretty fucking bummed. OH WELL! We'll both be able to in the Fall so I really can't complain. Just an example of why I'm so damn excited...
I think I love traveling the most for it always bringing me smiles haha. But seriously, next to experiencing a new place...I like to keep busy and thats what traveling offers me. If I'm ever missing someone or bummed out about something I just keep my schedule jam packed with things to take my mind off of it. I'll usually go buy a non-fiction book about the Alaskan Wilderness, Polar Bears, or Environmental Science (our only way of saving ourselves from the fast coming apocalypse) and fill my head with useful (or at least to me) dribble. Traveling is just another outlet and a way to keep busy in the most fun way there is! I get to wander around places I've never seen and view unfamiliar faces, which sometimes are the only kind I want to see. Anyways, since I'm missing someone, I can't wait to get out of this hot city and take my mind off of it.
Namaste.
