First step is always the hardest to take

To see the world on my own has been on my wish list for so long, and it's never truly become a priority until I started working as a teacher. I work in an environment where the people and all the co-workers are very adventurous and have seen so much more to the world than I do, and I could see how all the journeys have shaped them as the persons they are today. I'm envious. I'm not that brave and bold, but I wanna try anyway.

Then come the time when I watched "Over Flowers" series, starting from Grandpa Over Flowers until Friends Over Flowers. The show constantly reminds me that it's never too late to start traveling. I think I'll always have those worries of being lost and running into troubles in a strange place with no one to turn to. I've never traveled by myself before. I never really travel anywhere. 

However, I don't want my 20s to pass just like that. I wanna have stories I could share to someone, something I could reminisce so dearly when I get older. So I started saving up, and hopefully next year I'll be able to finally take that one baby step to maturity. It'd be nice to have a company to travel together, but even if I don't, it will not change my plan. It's resolute now. I'm going to see the world and expand my horizons. Backpacking alone is scary and unpredictable, but so does everything else in the world. It's a new world I'm trying to dip my feet into. I'm excited to know how the water feels like when it touches my feet.
