objective

i've always felt like a runaway

like a gypsy lifestyle would suit me

but i've never actually done it

because do you know how much work goes in to running away?

sheesh. a lot.

plus, if you come back, then what?

 

i love to be spur of the moment. to a point.

but i have a really hard time doing anything without a safety net.

i've had safety nets in the form of humans, houses, retirement funds, furniture. 

psychological safety nets & mcD's iced coffee-- my two true vices.

that i think I'm almost ready to go without.

 

we have a plan, and i almost don't want to write about it. jinx it

we still have about 10 grand to save up

i've budgeted and it will take me until april to finish everything

so we are gonna go after easter

maybe for a month, or three

i don't know if i've ever had a goal this big

where the end result felt like it could change my entire life

 

there's so much to do in the meantime

it's like the idea of this trip is consuming every thought and action

I need to sell my furniture

figure out what to do with my car

finish my laser treatments

pay off a few small debts

maybe get my brows tattooed so i don't have to worry about make up

hahaha

apply for a leave of absence.

renew my passport

buy plane tickets

we will have a place to live for 2 weeks until we get settled

jobs basically lined up

new friends waiting for us

 

roatan, we're coming for you.
