I came across this on the net and it is making so much sense to me right now.
“A journey is a person in itself; no two are alike. And all plans, safeguards, policing, and coercion are fruitless. We find that after years of struggle that we do not take a trip; a trip takes us.“ - John Steinbeck
Its true you know. We can worry and plan about everything in our life for all we want. But at the end of the day, what do we get out of it? Nothing. So, why not just live life, make the best out of it and have a blast? I would love to do that, but unfortunately I do not own my life, my commitments own it for now.
You know, after I am done with all my studying, I will definitely want to slow down and live life for awhile. There are so much things in life that I am missing out because of my commitments. It will be great if I can travel with a close buddy to some place cool, just to go for some sight-seeing, see how other people lead their lives, and hopefully make friends with the locals. I am sure that that will do me more good instead of all the usual shopping and eating routine that most of us have in mind when we chose our destination for travelling =).
Until then, I have to first survive through this 14 months and then its hello <insert some exotic place which I have yet to decide>! But first thing first, I have to get back to my studying for an exam today. Wish me luck!
One more year, gal! We’re graduating about the same time, haha. Just one more year and we’ll be free! You can do it!
Good luck!
