First Real Vacation
So I recently got back from my week-long vacation out-of-state to South Carolina. I’ve literally never been on out of Florida and thanks to my amazing boyfriend I had a chance to see a little bit of Georgia and South Carolina! I feel like a new person coming back honestly, which might sound weird but seeing just a bit of what life is like outside of my bubble that I’ve been trapped in for over 20 years is actually life-changing. This trip alone made me realize that I can NOT stay living in Florida for the rest of my life. There’s so much out there and so much I haven’t seen! Florida isn’t the best place on Earth to live anyway, so why settle? There’s a world out there that’s greener, friendly, drier, scarier, and I want to experience as much of it as I can.Â
When the movie Tangled came out years ago, I related to it so much, and being out there just a few weeks ago with just myself and the one person I want to experience the rest of this world with, I felt like Rapunzel. I’d been shut away from a whole world because of my over-protective mother, and with the help of someone that wants to see me experience the beauty of what’s out there, I was able to get a taste of freedom - and it felt damn good. Now I feel more inclined then ever to gain some of my well-deserved independence, and to start traveling the world.Â
Buying a cute and handy journal where I can write and doodle over my travels also sounds like a fun idea.Â
