Tomorrow I set out on a journey like no other. This is the first trip I’ve ever taken by myself. I’m going to Texas, a place I’ve never been. I’m going alone, something I’ve only done on short jaunts. I’m going to meet people I’ve never met before, which in and of itself, is a little strange.
I decided to make this trip months ago. It started as a simple curiosity, and grew into a dire necessity. Since, it has evolved into a larger adventure: I need to go away and see new things, meet new people, do things I’ve never done before… and I need to do it alone.
I’ve had multiple offers from wonderful people who want to take me to the airport. I’ve been offered money, “just in case”. But this is not just about taking a vacation… it’s more about being independent, being capable and getting it done my way. I am grateful that in such a short amount of time I’ve found good people who care for me. I am blessed by them. Gratefully and respectfully, I’ve declined all offers with a sincere desire to do it on my own.
I’ve already learned that I can do anything. Now, I get to see me in action.
