all is love

Every time I go on a new adventure outside my comfort zone, I always learn something new about the planet and something new about myself, which possibly manifested during the trip. For instance, I once had a very negative opinion about the United States, and once I left and then returned I realized that the USA is my home, it is where I was born and raised. It has influenced who I have become. Nevertheless, I still am very unhappy with our government and the way things currently are. Unless people start waking up, the states are going to crumble and fall. With that said, sadly the rest of the world’s countries all have their own problems as well. There really is no perfect government, so it really is up to the people to make the best of what they have, and to be happy and healthy within oneself and to ALWAYS stand up for their human rights and beliefs.

The latest discovery about myself is that life is not as fun without those you love around you. Yes, I am super independent; yes, I love traveling; yes, I love alone time, nevertheless, going through all the daily motions of eating, working and sleeping—well, that is just no fun at all, unless you get to eat with your friends, and work with awesome co-workers and sleep next to your lover. I would rather travel less and spend more time with my family and friends. Every time I go back and visit   (especially with my brother), I realize how much I adore him and love his company. It would be worth it to me to not go on such extended trips in order to spend that time with him, same with my mom and dad, boyfriend and friends. I use to say, I want to travel the world and never stop—because you never know when you are going to die. But now I feel like I want to spend every spare minute with those I love because you never know when you are going to die. I don’t want to stop traveling completely, because like I said, every trip I go on is expanding my consciousness, however, after this trip—I only want to take trips with friends, or just shorter, less extensive trips. Mhm… all is LOVE & I am in love with love.
