A very strong or irresistible impulse to travel.
For a while now, I have been feeling this urge and constant feeling of going on a long road trip, to grab a pair of jeans, my vans and a couple of t-shits; eat chips and oreos, drink a cold fanta, and let the air make my hair look like a total chaos.
Some people might think that its a need to runaway from problems ( maybe it is ) but i think its good to go out there and face your own demons and to take time and space to confront them..
After all these weeks, one night somebody very very special reminded me to count my blessings. ( Yes, blessings. I know i have been having a hard time with religion, but i think this is much more greater than any label on what i believe on. So please, count your blessings tonight)
I wish a could make a list of every single person that has influence my life but i dont think i can... too many too many. But what I can say is that even though i have meet a lot of people through out my journey away from home, very few people are incredibly close to my heart. You know who you are. Gracias ... muchas gracias.
One of those blessings in my life is my friend Lauren. I cannot even explain how much I love her and how much she makes me feel like home in Utah. She recently got accepted to go to grad school in Notre Dame!! I am beyond proud of her! Strong talented amazing woman.. She is so special and i am blessed and thankful for all the secrets, deep experiences and personal thoughts she has shared with me.
She helped me to get through some of the darkest and hardest times in my life, and never left my side. So I guess what i am trying to say in here is that;
I invite you to make somebody feel like home, believe me ... It will make a difference in their life, believe me. Never let darkness overwhelmed you . No matter how bad things get, there is always someone with some "home" to share.yes, I feel an extreme wanderlust lately and maybe some of you feel the same way but i know special people like Lauren and others ( you know who you are) make me feel like I am not alone in here. and that i am not lost at all.
Not all those who wonder are lost....
