Time: 11:11 AM
Place: Den Haag, The Netherlands
Feeling: Like a cool cat
The question and desire along this trip has been to find passion. People have said, "life will figure itself out," "it will just come to you," "finish school," etc. And yes, they are right. However we do need some reminders that we are on the path we are actually choosing for ourselves. Today that reminder is solidified in the fact that I am sitting here on my favorite day of the week (Sunday) and just reading. I have been clogging (a Netherlands pun) around the world, but I am still completing those ideals I have set for myself-without even trying! If anyone has seen my house or read through a notebook... I function through lists, and organized chaos. These lists have stated my goals, desires, reminders to walk Lola and all. And though not all is accomplished, the things that are critical to place me in this world where I am meant to be have been completed. What is amazing to me though is the things I have done that I didn't think were possible. A few years ago I stated I wanted to drive through the U.S. the year after going to Europe. I thought that since I had taken off so much time in 2013 I never would be able to in 2014, but I did it. Yet as I have taken off this time I am still headed towards the direction of finishing school and progressing as I reach the age of 22. The next steps will come as they may, without force, but always with a desire to improve and grow. So... a word of advice from the Psych major...rather than doing what you think you SHOULD do, do what you WANT!
