To the person who needs to hear it:

You are not stuck. Anytime you need to, take off. Take off to a new place. Call that friend from college that lives in California and tell them you are coming to see them (thanks, Lindsey). Call that long lost cousin in Montana. Or call that hostel in Italy. Or call that friend on the coast you have not seen since high school. Or call your buddy in the next town over. All you need is a plane ticket or a full tank. You have a wandering spirit, go.

I know you are working 50 hours a week and trying to figure out who you are, but you need this. You need a day trip to the coast. You need to find yourself lost on a trail in the mountains. You need to find yourself lost in a city without a map. You need to find yourself cheering in a stadium you have never been to. You need it for the people around you. You need your soul to be poured into by new people in new places. You need it for you.

You can. You can skip that Starbucks once a week to build up a travel fund. You can start squirreling away every $5 bill you come across to contribute to that plane ticket.

Time away will do you some good. It will open your heart to new people. It will open your mind to new ideas. It will open your spirit to new energy. It will open your eyes to what goes on outside of your bubble.

You will see more than your mind can handle. There is a huge world out there. Sights of cities. Sights of ocean. Sights of mountains. Sights of deserts. Sights of the sky. Sights so big that you will not be able to see the same.

May you never feel like you have seen it all. May your soul always long for a new sight. May your spirit of adventure always be hungry.

So go. Buy that plane ticket or fill up your gas tank. Pack a bag and go. Please, just go. Go see. Go climb. Go play. Go cheer. Go see. Go swim. Go learn. Go serve. Go.

Trust me, go.
