My upcoming road trip around Australia has become a goal I'm aiming for, the rainbow I'm waiting for after the storm. And if I'm really honest with myself, it's the only thing keeping me sane right now. This year has been the most difficult one when it comes to coping with where my life is going. I've been so desperate to just go somewhere, anywhere. I've been aching to get away and travel, to explore and surround myself with new and unfamiliar things, to see a part of the world I have never seen before (which really isn't much at all).
I mean, I always have felt this way. But this year, it's more than a longing, it's vital.
This trip is all a part of it. This trip is exactly what I need now. I feel as if my skin is the only thing that's keeping me from going a thousand differently places and doing a thousand different things at once.
I'm just waiting, waiting, waiting.
