Go Now

This is one of the final moments I have before I go. It is the last moment I have to catch my breath and contemplate the chances that lay before me. It's surreal to think that in less than 12 hours I am going to be on a plane heading for half-way around the world. And this isn't just a visit, this is for 10 months of my life. I know that is only a second in the grand scheme of things, but it has become such a reality that I can't help but go breathless for a moment. I have no idea what this journey is going to become. It's an exciting and overwhelming dive into the world. I can't believe that this moment I have been working for over a year now has finally come. Tomorrow, a dream is coming true.

I want to make it clear to all my friends and family a few goals and aspirations that I have for this trip, just to make sure that I carry it with me always.

I want this to become a journey marked with love. I want it to be a time where I discover what it looks like to love the world, love it's people, and love myself in it. I want to see the cultures we create with each other. I want to experience trust towards people I don't know and show trust to those who do not know me. I want it to be a time where I try to live a life more intentional and thoughtful. I want to see beauty and be bold. I want to take a moment to reach beyond a comfort zone I have created in the bubble of a previous life and go beyond myself. I want to see art and learn new things. I know this is the chance of a lifetime. I want to embrace every single second and devour it.

My heart is pounding because all I have left to do now is go. I'm afraid, I'm sad, but I am also excited beyond all I have ever known. The next time you will hear from me, I will be in Lithuania!
