Last full day in Hawaii! Part of me says that I’m ready to go home, but I’m actually not. I have this feeling inside me that I’m just ready to go, ready to travel and take some risks and be uncomfortable. I feel like I have this drive, but it’s a drive to chase down what I really want, to get to the simpler life that I’ve been feeling my way towards. The simpler life is really just pointing to a life where I get to do what I want — it’s not necessarily that it’ll be easy or anything, but that it’ll at least feel lighter and more rewarding.

The more I think about it, the more excited I get by the prospect of traveling full time. It’s something that feels energizing, I love the thought of planning and looking around on the internet for all of this. It’ll help me accomplish my goal of becoming fluent in a foreign language, and I’ll get to really spend the time to enmesh myself in another culture.
