I just got off the phone with Justin...
And he seems pretty stoked on the cross country idea as well.
He said earlier he was into it, but I always felt like there was still the possibility that he would back out. After this phone conversation, I don’t think he will. This is all very exciting.
When having approached others with this idea, I was normally laughed at, told I was being cliche, and then asked why I wouldn’t want to settle down……REALLY? The idea may seem cliche and overrated, but how many people actually go through with it nowadays? I understand why people would want a real job and have a family, but I just don’t feel like I am cut out for that. I feel like I could learn so much more about the world and about myself through this trip over any college education. Sorry if I am sounding wishy washy or insult you because you are paying mega money for some insane college, but conventional living is just not for me.
I enjoy living in the moment, making last minute decisions, having no real plans — just existing and experiencing.
