Whether you grew up in a small town or a big city, you know how much there is to see outside of where you live. No matter how many times you hear the song "It's a Small World After All", you know that it's really not. You know that there are thousands, if not millions, of places to explore and billions of people to meet. You know that there are endless possibilities for who you can be and what you can become and you don't want to just sit back and watch all of those possibilities pass you by.
Maybe you feel obligated to stay where you are because of the people you're attached to like friends and family. Maybe work or school is holding you back. Maybe you're not financially capable of leaving just yet. Maybe you just can't convince yourself to take that first step. Maybe you already have taken that first step. No matter where you are in your journey or what your path may be, planned or otherwise, never let anyone or anything create a roadblock on your path, not even yourself.
Maybe your leap of faith isn't leaving your city or state or country. Maybe something more for you is just a new job or going to college or even just trying a new sushi restaurant. Your something more doesn't have to be an elaborate "Eat, Pray, Love" montage and you aren't crazy for wanting to live a little instead of just existing. You'd be crazy if you didn't want something more or something better for yourself. Life is too damn short to be living with "what if's" or "I should've's". No not everything is going to work out perfectly every time. But wouldn't you much rather say you tried than to say you never even gave it a second thought? I know you scroll through social media and wish you had the lives of some of the people you see, but you don't have to sell your house and travel around the world to live your best life. You just need a little bit of courage, a little bit of crazy, and a whole lot of faith that everything will end up alright in the end.
