Abby, 16, set sail this week on a solo round the world trip on her sailboat. She won’t be stopping on land at all and the trip is estimated to take 6 months.
What an amazing young woman to realize a dream and then pursue it so unstoppingly. I can’t imagine what it would be like to be 16 and alone on the open seas.
Go Abby!!! I wish her good luck and happy blogging…
I am craving change. I love the changes that have come with school, but I need more. I think that’s part of my motivation to climb out of my box.
I wish breaking out of my box wasn’t so hard though. Can someone please just pick up my box and dump me out of it? Packing peanuts and all…
On second thought, don’t. I can manage. Nothing’s that worth doing comes for free. Pain, discomfort, and all I will eventually manage to unbox my life…
I need to unbox my life. I need to pull out a razor and start cutting through the tape and climbing out of the packing peanuts.
There are so many things in life I don’t try and do because I think I can’t do them. There are so many things I don’t ask for because I think the answer will be no.
Why does it have to be no? Why do I think I can’t do it? Why do I think it’s not worth trying? Why do I let these pre-determined thoughts rule my life?
Because I’m scared. I’m scared the answer will be no, I’m scared they’ll think less of me for asking. I am scared I will embarrass myself.
WHY should I care though!?!?!? It’s my life! If I want to look like a fool, act like an idiot, or have people think I’m stupid it’s MY right to do that.
It’s MY LIFE and I need to start living it! I need to seize every opportunity, search out every chance, and run with it. I cannot continue to sit in my box, a box that is sometimes inside another box, and let life pass me by!
Why should I settle? I shouldn’t. I have only got one life and 26 years have already passed me by.
