I received some wise advice today. The man who informed me of the secret to eternal happiness had heard it from a woman, whose name is irrelevant. She had just won a prestigious award, and she hoped to inspire the youth: "The greatest chance of achieving eternal happiness is to do what you love and are passionate about. This will create a map to what you seek," or something along these lines.
The above topic came up after receiving a blunt and daunting question: "Megan, what do you want to do with your life?" As the questioner pierced into my eyes, I felt the urge to compose an answer that showed intellect and vision. However, I went with my gut, or rather my heart: "In my perfect world, I would want to travel the world and write about it." Due to my "perfect world" statement, was I lectured of the capabilities of my life and the control I must have over them.
This is where the newly created blog comes in. I am on a journey to write about all experiences that seem monumental or influential in my life. I want to write about travel. Oh, the places I will go. However, as I thought of this daunting task, I realized the mass quantity of experiences that have led me to this point in my life. As a twenty-one year old, I have lived in Paris, France for nine months, been to many other countries in Europe, and have seen a decent chunk of the United States of America. To start from this very moment and go onward would be stealing from the past. Thus, I shall, in my next few entries, write of times and joyous experiences that have long since past. These moments, only before preserved by photo, will be given new light through this blog, my words.
