“Timing honestly is a real factor. I don’t care what quote you read or movie line you hear, it actually matters. I once really liked this girl, but she already had plans to move away after college so I decided it wasn’t worth it because the timing wasn’t right.”

When people ask you if you want kids of your own and you just stand there blankly and say, ‘uhhhhhh’ and run away. Forever.

When you were younger everything felt good and it felt safe, like you’d never have to think about living a day without each other. You thought you’d be inseparable, you naïvely thought things would never change, but maybe that’s just because you tried so hard to block out the reality you knew was coming.

The simple things bring you joy, they make you happy and that’s awesome. You’re down to get dirty in nature because fun is what it’s all about. You don’t need a lot to be happy and spontaneous adventures bring you joy.

I’ll never be able to let down my hair and fall on a strangers bed. I’ll never be able to sleep with someone whose first name I might not remember. I’ll never be able to get naked for someone I don’t have any connection with.

I don’t want to wait around for days on end, hoping he might text me or Tweet something about me. I want him to call me; I want to hear his voice. I don’t want the games, I don’t want the rules, I want honesty and I want him to be upfront.

If you get invited somewhere you’re always the first person to say yes. You don’t have to check-in with anyone or sort out your plans, if you’re free you go because adventure awaits.

If you have an opportunity, embrace it full on because travel is worth it. Travel will humble you, it will test you and break you, but it will ultimately make you a better person.
