Relax. You are also going to travel. From one city to another. Converse in multiple languages. Explore districts to countries. Experience every culture at its finest. And when you do, youâre going to meet people who may or may not have an impact on you. Youâre going to converse with people who are different from you, similar to you - people who you like or might not like - those who will belittle you and encourage you - who will believe in you and help you, and youâre going to learn from each one of them. Youâre going to get to know them. Hear their story. What frightens them, what motivates them, what keeps them going. And youâre going to find out that there is more to life than any of this. You will feel pain, sadness, frustrations. But you will also feel alive, exuberant, human. You are going to find out that no experience is entirely the same as another. Some are relatable, but no two experiences are utterly, downright the same. That is why it is important to have your own. Not only will it teach you the best and most striking lessons, it will also make you feel alive. And truth be told, I donât think anything really compares.
