The moment I’ve been waiting for. I used to dream of the shiny ocean waves right in front of my face. I’ve once imagined how the stars in Greece would look like. What it would be like to feel so… grounded. Present.

And now I’m here.

I take a deep breath in.

How could anyone question whether or not It’s worth leaving their small town for?

Nothing else feels this way.

I would never know the boundless hills in Ireland, or the colors of Peru if I never left.

The world is not only made for discovery of culture and nature, but discovery of self.
