Me, in the airport all day today:
Just kidding, I'm not that much of an idiot. I only think it in my head. It is a dreary, cold, rainy December day in London and I LOVE IT. London is one of my favorite cities in the entire world. I've been very lucky to have been here a handful of times, and I wouldn't be against staying, possibly forever. Except I spent £7 at Starbucks (thank God for European Starbucks) this morning, which is basically like, a $14 skinny vanilla latte. So I'll probably need to get rich first.
But seriously. Have you ever been to Piccadilly circus? If not, get your ass on a plane as soon as possible because IT'S WORTH IT. Also- PETER PAN. J.K. MF ROWLING. All of the things come from the UK. ALL OF THEM. (David Beckham's right foot. And left foot. And the Beatles. Churchill. Stop me if you can name that movie).
I have obviously been having some life reevaluations and revelations lately, and I've been trying to figure out that one question that plagues most 26 year olds out there- What the hell am I going to do with my life? My goals and dreams have been kind of all over the place in the past decade, but at the root, always the same: live in Europe (again), speak (fluent) French, work in a creative field (TV/Radio/Advertising/Writing). Never has my life goal to be married and live in the suburbs, taking annual family vacations to the same place every year. It's a fine life- but not for me. I want to travel. There's something so electric about being out of your element, in a place where everyone's story is SO vastly different from your own. Studying abroad in college was terrifying and amazing, and I've been itching to do it again. Only minus the studying- I want to live now. So honestly, people. If you get the chance to go somewhere completely new and different- I don't care if you might have to spend an extra month paying off your credit card bill. Life experiences are FAR more valuable than money.
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to hoover some more coffee because sleeping five hours on a plane is a little less than ideal.
