Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us

Hey Boho, Sorry I didn’t mean to scare you…having you think I was abandoning you! I would never! Life has been moving pretty fast since returning home from Florida. It is so nice to be home, on my old stomping grounds!

Lately things really seem to be falling into place. I was able to find a job quickly, I was accepted into a new school near by, and I feel really happy with where I am in life. Leaving Florida was harder than I anticipated. With my random spurts of homesickness I thought going home would be the best, but saying goodbye to some friends was difficult  I feel as though this year, everyone I met and became close with really knew me for me. It usually takes me awhile to show my goofy side to people unless I know them well. This year I was me right off the bat, and I hope to carry this with me.

If traveling wasn’t so expensive and the majority of people I had met weren’t transferring I would probably stay in Florida.  Though things are changing for the next school year, I am writing this post with a smile. Florida did exactly what I wanted it to do for me. I can see it through the friends I have made, and I can also see it when I talk about myself to others. I now own who I am and I give that off to the world by speaking more confidently about myself.  In addition Florida showed me that I can travel on my own, and I LOVE seeing new places around the world.

So I am going to end with a quote:

Joy is not in things, it is in us. 

Happiness is a thing to be practiced like a violin.

The days that make us happy make us wise.

The way to be happy is to make others happy.

Helping others is the secret of all success-in business, in the arts, and in the home.

Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
