Europa

About a week ago my best friend and I decided to travel to Europe this summer.

We are graduating from university this year, she from Ryerson and I from U of T, and therefore decided it would be best to embark on our journey in the sweltering summer month of July.

Having some travel background, however, being the furthest things from travel novices, this will be the first time for the both of us in planning our own trip start to finish. By ourselves. On our own. Together.

Her travel experience consits of spending about a month in her homeland of El Salvador, and about the same amount of time spent in the Philipenes for a volunteer program. Mine consists of traveling to Italy and France with my family at the age of thirteen and spending a week in Egypt when I was eighteen.

Both these trips were planned by organized leaders, teachers, or parents. Perhaps the magnanimity that is planning a three week vacation has not phased us. We feel no fear or hesitation, but only the sheer vivacity that accompanies an excited mind while in the midst of imagining sitting on the soft pebbled beaches of Capri.

So far, this is the list I have come up with.

1. Arrive in Roma, Italy
2. Italy to Paris,
3. Paris to Spain
4. Spain to Portugal

To tantalize you a bit, check these out:




Capri, Italy



Ibiza, Spain



Paris, France

We're damn excited.

What is it about Time...

Ever wonder about where you'll be in the next six months? The next year? The next couple years? Ten years?




Ever wonder about who you are and how much you've changed?

"I would've never done something like this a year ago."

It is through experience that makes us wise. What's that saying?

"Through bad judgement comes experience. Through experience comes good judgement."

Or something along those lines...




Time changes things. Everything. You are the sum of your experiences. The more you experience, the more you change. What if you do not want to change? There are aspects of your person that might never change. They are engrained: values, morals, etc.

Your quirks may change, your interests, your taste in music, but there are fundementals of your person that are comparitvely unique and make you who you are.




What do you hope never changes?
What do you wish to keep forever...

Move, Eat

How many of us would absolutely adore to experience what these three guys did? I couldn't count the number. Now, if only we all had the means to do so...

And the best part of travelling the world? The food. Ahhh yes, the food.



Live it up!!

Step back and take a look around

Maybe if I ask the questions, you'll ask them of yourself.


C'mon humour me, just think about it:



What does music mean to you?






How does it affect your life, mood, day, etc.?





What is one wish you've had for a long time and are yet to see come true?

Why hasn't it?






In ten words, describe who you are, right down to your core...






What does love mean to you?








Who in your life do you love? Do they know?







What makes you cry?







If something is making you cry, cry. Let it all out. Let it all go.







What puts the biggest and brightest smile on your face?

Or who?

Imagine it right now...






Smile.





Life is too short to wait around and feel disappointment. Make of life what you may. Never hold back, for one day you will look back and sigh to yourself.



Live and let live!!


I send you my love and my hugs and warmth, and if no one told you you were loved today, I DID!





YOU ARE LOVED!!!!

When is Enough really Enough?

Sometimes, maybe it is the smart thing to quit while you're ahead. I am neither ahead nor behind nor moving at all, so at this point although giving up does not seem to make any logical sense, it is really the only option I have left.

Except that,
I've tried. Oh yes I have tried. I made it almost a little more than a week, I believe, without talking to him at all. But it's impossible. I gave in like he had the first time.

I know he wants her. I know she wants him. (At least that's what it looks like.) I have no idea why he wastes his time with me.





So, I've decided to FUCK IT...whatever that means.
