I miss that sense of adventure and that sense of determination to figure out how to do everything in such a short amount of time. Literally, I couldn't get enough. I did miss the South. I did miss my family. But I was happy and content being in a new territory.
So when my friend's boyfriend found out he got into NYU this past week or when my other friend was talking about her birthday in the city or when I heard another friend was going up for this weekend-- talk about jealousy.
New York was such a renewal experience. Similar to the beach renewal, but in a less-calm-let's-grab-life-by-the-horns-until-3am kinda renewal.
I started this blog because of that trip-- to help me remember what I felt while I was there. That sense of adventure. That sense of learning while exploring. I have never been less scared-- navigating through the city like I'd been there 100 times before. Finding myself happy to be lost in a place I'd never been before because ultimately, I'd find something cool to explore. I didn't sleep much while I was there because I had plans to find something new.
And I miss that.
I want and need a new adventure. I want to see new things and get lost in a place I've never been before.
While I've never been abroad-- I hope that something works out where I can go explore other countries--anywhere. I just want to see what's out there. What all this world has to offer us.
I watched this video today that got me pumped to see and explore the world that we live in-- Hope you find it inspiring like I do!
Make your life count. Go find your sense of adventure!
Happy Wednesday,
Carrie
