One of the only things I am sure about in this life is that you have to live it. To me, that doesn't just mean to get by, it means to really follow your heart and do the things you want to do. While, I strongly believe in this I don't practice it as much as I wish I did. I don't want to be in the stuck in the mentality of starting tomorrow, or maybe one day. I understand that life can be hard to predict and it definitely sends curveballs, but there are some places I know I need to go.
Paris - going here has been a dream of mine since I was a child and that was even before I saw Rugrats In Paris. I love the idea of French culture. I studied French for around seven years now and I would love to try and put that to use. Whether I manage to study abroad here, go on vacation or live here at one point I know I need to find myself in a French cooking class, standing in front of the Mona Lisa, eating a croissant for breakfast, drinking wine for lunch, painting the Eiffel Tower and trying to get a mime to talk to me.
Mexico - I'm not referring to Cancun on Spring Break, although that does sound like a blast. This is also not because of my intense love for Mexican food, although it does spark my interest. For some reason I am unsure of I've always been highly infatuated with Mayan and Aztec culture, and I am determined to see the ruins and learn more about it.
Las Vegas - there is something about all the glitz and glamour that seems utterly overwhelming, but at the same time absolutely amazing. Once I turn 21, this tri, is a priority for me. I love the idea of dressing up, encountering Lady Luck - don't forget a lovely dinner and a show. I've never been here before but I already have a list of my top 5 hotels. Although I can see Las Vegas draining my bank account, I can also see it filling my head with priceless memories.
While, these are only three of the destinations I strive to find myself in my life, I'm sure I'll find many more, as many more find me. Any place can be influential and a blast if you let it be. My friend and I had an hour to kill at Penn Station the other day and ended up having a better time than I've had in a while. Living life it's fullest sounds so generic, but It really is my goal. When I encounter people who seem so alive, I really find it contagious. Which is why I want to find myself in the most interesting of places, with the liveliest of people.
