FEARLESS

“To me, Fearless is not the absense of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears. Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death.” 
― Taylor Swift


Less than a week until I leave and I could not be MORE full of fear. I am not really sure what I am afraid of...in fact I am kind of afraid of EVERYTHING!!! The point is I could spend the rest of my time worrying about all things that could possible go wrong OR I could enjoy the time I have left and love the people I get to spend time with! I can't wait until I get to Australia! I know that I am in good hands and I have faith that all my needs will be met. Change is something that is really hard for me. I HATE it but need it in my life. I will miss so many things and people in America but thanks to SKYPE, Email, and Facebook I will never be out of touch.


On the other hand, I feel incredibly blessed to know that I am conquering one of my dreams. I am MOVING to another country and traveling for a year (or two). It has been a very interesting journey to this point. I have had endless conversations with people about my future. Some are very confused about why I am not going to graduate school, getting married (or dating anyone), wanting to settle down and get serious about life, but so many are so inspired by my courage. I would never describe myself as courageous so its really amazing how much I have learned about myself through others. I never want to wonder what if.....I can get comfortable with this life or I can continue to find ways to learn and grow outside of my comfort zone. I would much rather look back on my life and think WOW I can't believe I did that...

So here is my Mantra for my life:
