Stephanie - I agree - I never thought I would have ended up here. And I love that. At the same time, I know I don't want to stay here (physically) so I DO need to plan out some traveling, but at what (not just monetary) expense? So really I'm trying to plan just enough to get me to certain places so whatever happens can happen. Like that clarified anything.

My philosophy is that when I look at my life right now, at this moment, I could have never possibly have imagined that I would end up here. So there's no way I can even think about where I'll go next, so why freak out about where I'm going?

Enjoy the ride!

Don't worry too much about what is "too much"! Just write it out and edit it later. You can't edit before you write! Write, write, write, write, write!

You are funny and I want to read all about your awkward life. Don't plan it. Write it! Well, I mean. Plan a little. But write more.
