It's Monday morning and I am just a day away from my flight out. I go from Vegas to LA, LA to Paris, and Paris to Madrid. I will spend three days touring Madrid before going down to Alicante for school. The nervousness is gone and has been replaced by something new. I'm ready. I'm excited. I am going to take the world by storm. I have been given the opportunity to do something, to go somewhere, and have an experience of a lifetime. This is not a time to be scared. I'm at a point in my life where everything is new and different and I can make my life whatever I want it to be. I have a choice to stay and a choice to go out into the world and see what is there. I'm choosing the latter. I think sometimes people are too afraid to make decisions like that. They are too afraid to step out onto the limb because of the risk of the fall. They avoid the fall rather than see the view. A lot of times one doesn't realize the capacity that they truly have to experience something immense, so as a result they sit back and watch everyone else live their lives. I don't want that for myself. I won't settle for ordinary when I can have extraordinary.
