The dictionary defines fate as "The will or principle or determining cause by which things in general are believed to come to be as they are or events to happen as they do" or "The three goddesses who determine the course of human life in classical mythology." I like both.
It's been quite awhile since I've written here and over the last few weeks I've had a difficult time looking to the summer and what it will become. The school year ending will bring about a complete end to all of my credit card debt. A long 3 1/2 year journey that has brought me pain, struggles, and a great sense of accomplishment. I've been looking forward to traveling but on the opposite side I need to finish my masters and find a place to live, living with my parents has helped me to get out of the deep hole I was in, but I need my own place more than anyone could ever comprehend. As all of these decisions come upon me it seems as though the traveling is the only one that I feel so compelled to do. Tonight as I was thinking maybe I should do the 'responsible' decision and finish school and get a house, a quote from Eat Pray Love came up on my facebook feed from a friend. Fate or Irony?
I look to every Monday night at 8pm just to see Justin and Scott on Departures and their adventures across the globe and how when something comes up career or life wise to tug them back home, something always happens to keep them there on their journey. It's calling to me to do what I feel like if I don't do now, I'll never do. I want to go, I want to experience, I want to be able to breathe. I'm scared to do it alone, I'm scared of the price and the fear of something happening, but if I don't go I'll regret it for the rest of my life.
