Well I'm finally back in Colorado after a month of being home. It was good to see my family again but I'm glad to be back. If you stop and think about why people move away from home or travel a lot, what is the reasoning? New jobs, bucket lists, spouses new jobs or is it to be around like minded people? In life your friends all think alike, you want common interests with people. Well if you can't find that what else is left in that city to make you happy? The number of people I could connect with back home is too low for my liking, so I chose to move away. I can connect with so many people here and they seem to actually value what you have to say and what you want to do with your life. Maybe its just the certain classes I am in or have taken, but thats the vibe i get from most.
Classes started on the 7th for us and my a pretty golden. two out of my four classes have to do with my future career choice directly and its nice to finally get to start on your life. Up to this point people ask you want you want to do when you grow up, well now you actually get the chance to make the progress towards that goal. Im taking an adaptive aquatics class that will give me an opportunity to teach disabled children how to swim and I'm ecstatic about that! My other class is my beginning class in Adventure Education (my major) this is where ill get all my information about the back country, skills, and develop teaching methods. I couldn't be happy with my classes right now.
That being said, me being joyful and optimistic about my future, not everything is all sunshine and rainbows. If you want to live a lifestyle thats out of the norm, if you wanna be a man or woman of your own and travel the world, you're going to hurt people. Im not talking about beating people up physically I mean emotionally. Its often said "You hurt the people you love the most". Why though? Does it have to be like this? I honestly don't know the answer to this question. Maybe we try to protect the people we love from anything that may happen to us or maybe we think we cant provide someone something if you're always out doing some big adventure or committed to something heavily. Sometimes you want the person to understand what you're doing and want them to join you but they just don't understand the lifestyle you want to live so they outcast you.
Whatever it is it happens and be prepared but at the same time be prepared to meet some of the greatest people you will come in contact with. Everything happens for a reason and its up to you to decide why. Decide whether its the end of something or actually the beginning of your next adventure. Like always thanks for reading!
