I love to write, anything and everything; I love how writing makes me feel. I believe that you should enjoy every single breath you take and when I write, it's...magnificent. I am able to get out everything I am feeling out and I feel free, I feel calmer. Writing gives me the option of escaping my real life and travelling into a different universe where everything goes according to how I say it goes, writing helps me escape the dark times and reminds me of the awesome moments in life. I am still a teenager, but I know what I want to do with my life, where I want to go. I want to do what makes me happy, and what makes me happy in this moment right now is travelling and writing. I don't want to wake up one day and think, “Oh, why didn't I do that when I had the chance?” It is one of my worst fears so I am trying desperately to evade that.
I have many goals for myself, some may say that they are impossible but to me, nothing is impossible. So many people told me that I would never make it to Italy & Spain with less than a year to raise the funds but I did. People who tell me that I can't give me more motivation to prove them wrong. If I want to live in Europe, damn right I can. If I want to pursue a career in the literary field, hell yeah I will. I'm not someone who can be put down very easily which is something that I believe will get me far. I believe, and know really, that I can do anything I want and set my mind to, it's not an "I wish"; it's an "I will".
Sometimes I have a darker view on things and become pessimistic but doesn't everyone? Like Neil Pasricha (author of The Book of Awesome) says, he never considered himself an optimist, he has dark days and it's not about getting rid of those days. It's about reminding yourself that there are so many tiny, awesome, things in life. Don't force yourself out of the dark spots, let them be dark. Just remind yourself that there are good spots at the end. Which is exactly how I view things. It's perfectly normal to have those crappy days but you just have to remember, tomorrow's a new day, who knows what life has in store.
