Reasons I Want To Travel

I want to meet people that I will probably never see again.

Reasons I Want To Travel
Alexander Estmo

I want to travel the world. I want to go places I can only imagine and have adventures in lands I've never seen. I want to try new things and make the most out of my life. I want to look back and say, "I can't believe I did that". I want to meet people that I will probably never see again and make friends with people I'll always know. I want to dance all night. I want to camp out under the stars and watch fire dance in the night. I want to hear the blaring of horns on the streets of Manhattan. I want to see the fogs of London. I want to taste the finest of wines and the freshest of beers. I want to learn cuisine from locals and be apart of the culture if just for one day. I want to go to the tallest buildings and look over the cities. I want to stand on the largest peaks and look out at the world. I want to see sunrises and sunsets over mountains and seas and buildings.

I want to swim in every ocean and lay on every beach. I want to swim with sharks and see dauphins. I want to dive with professionals and discover shipwrecks. I want to see lions and tigers. I want to see elephants. I want to go skydiving and bungee jumping. I want to go ziplining. I want to learn to sail and surf the waves. I want to go kayaking and paddle boarding. I want to go white water rafting. I want go to the wildest parts of nature and the busiest parts of cities. I want to be able to wake up in one place and by that night be in a completely different location. I want to learn languages from the locals. I want to be apart of their culture. I want to find solitude and peace in the quiet of an empty beach or the top of a deserted building or at the top of a lonely mountain edge. I want to find knowledge in the people I meet and the places I see. I want to gain wisdom from my mistakes. I want to help others and pray with them. I want to wake up one day and be old and gray and tell my grandchildren about my travels. When they finally lay me to rest I want to be at peace with the knowledge that I did exactly what I wanted to do with my life and I have no regrets.

When I travel I want it to change me for the better. I want my experiences to make me wiser and more diverse. I want to learn the ways of the world. I want to be a more understanding person and more adapted to people's way and grow more tolerant. The oceans I'll travel and places I'll see will be the topper to the experiences I have and the friends I'll make. I want to take a piece of each place with me as I leave and know it will always be with me no matter what.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
