Round 2? Round 2

Okay, so not actually good-bye. I don't know who I'm trying to kid, but I keep coming back and checking my OWN blog - weeks after this trip ended - expecting something new to be here. This trip is over, though. It was cathartic, life changing, eye opening - whatever you want to call it; experiences like this are nearly too difficult to put to words if you haven't had the experience yourself. Verbalizing it almost cheapens the emotion.

Taking risks, finding the adventure, and living with a greater purpose, however, are things I'm not ready to be over with and I am going to apply to lead a trip next summer. This organization is fantastic and there is no a single reason not to be involved with B&B. Okay maybe there are a couple: the real world, and a job, and money, and all that "grown-up" stuff. And that's important, but that isn't where I've settled in my chapter of life yet. This is the real deal people, I'm obsessed.

Make voyages. Attempt them. There's nothing else.
