This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.

Work the shit job, pick up extra shifts, go with out expensive clothes, or a brand new car, stay home and cook, save as much money as possible. Because while your watching the sunset on the other side of the world, meeting new friends that feel like home, tasting new foods, experiencing new culture, and smells, late nights and early mornings, seeing places that you can’t justify in a photo, and making the best memories of your life.. The expensive clothes, brand new car, and expensive dinners, don’t seem as important. And even when you get home and do it all again, it’s never the same. Because something inside you changes. So there for I choose experience, I choose to travel not to escape, but to experience. To spend my long shifts and hard work and create memories, and friends that last a life time. If there’s one piece of advice I could give anyone, would be to travel. Travel as much as possible, you will never regret it, because one day you will wake up and it will be too late.
