Do it for You

"Travel, my friend. See the world, or at least some bits of it. And don't wait because you don't know what's down the road.
It's not the "big" moments you'll remember -- standing under the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty. It'll be the little moments -- watching her squeeze into a doorway in Florence trying to stay out of the rain, smelling a giant flower in Belize, or having the sunlight catch her as she walks down some side street in New York City you'll never get back to. That's where your life happens, and those are the things you'll keep close -- those few seconds that nobody else saw. Those are yours and yours only." Read this earlier before you called me, it was in the comments


Sometimes we should stop, and consider what we want from the world.

 A good job? A house? Kids? Money? Success? Love? Happiness? 

They are all possible whether one is stand alone or they are all combined.

 But for me, I want to see the world, ('at least some bits of it') before I have kids and settle down with a mortgage to pay. I want to laugh in the moonlight in a foreign country with the person I share my heard with. I want to get lost down awful side streets together, and bicker about directions. I want to lie on a beach and snorkel with fish. I want to eat pizza in Italy, and try snails in France. I want to go to Disneyland and act like a kid. I want to lay in an ice hut under the stars, I want to see the Northern Lights, I want to cosy up in Scotland and search for the Lock Ness Monster, I want to go to a full moon party in Koh Phangan, I want to volunteer with children before it comes my job.

Who knows what life will throw at me, maybe these end up distant dreams rather than reality, but they are all achievable with time and effort.

The rest will follow.
