"If you want to know the truth of who you are, walk until not a person knows your name. Travel is the great leveler, the great teacher, bitter as medicine, crueler than mirror-glass. A long stretch of road will teach you more about yourself than a hundred years of introspection." --Patrick Rothfuss
An ex boyfriend of mine once asked for a second chance. We parted ways and eventually became amicable towards eachother (or so I hope.) When I declined, I told him that he was too late, that I had moved on, and that despite the fact that it was appealing going back to him, doing so would mean that I was moving backwards. That was not a concept he understood, nor did I care to elaborate for fear of offending him.
The most important, recurring, and repetitive theme in my life is the desire to move forward, to grow, and to evolve. I constantly try to learn, to grow, to improve. Though it's not like a daily ritual, it is an overarching theme. I am constantly frustrated at myself for not being better, but I am better than I was a year, six months, even two weeks ago.
And while growth is the most important thing to me, I have a constant fear of... well, lots of things. Of being scared and alone and no one to embrace me. Of being lost in a place and not knowing the language. Of failure. Of not having the comforts I have grown accustomed to. Of having to ask my dad, yet again, for some money.
This isn't a formal essay or a published work of writing. So I'm not going to give a satisfying conclusion, or a call to action, or even advice to others. I hope all this made sense, and to anyone who is still reading this: These are the things that drive me. I guess you know a little more about me. (:
