Time to Break My Hermit Shell...

There is something about living around the world that has changed me. I can feel it from my little toes to the tips of my ears and to the nails of my fingers. These types of changes I have come to find do not happen often. This may very well be the first time I have ever felt such a significant change within myself. I don't really know what to think about this shift in mentality. It is worth it to explore the new grounds, no matter how uneasy or anxious I am about it.

I am exhausted from holding in my thoughts feelings, succumbing to the will of my peers and loved ones. I want to love the people who make me happy. I want to share my food with the ones who are just as enthusiastic about it as me. It is hard to give freely when following the desires and needs of others. It truly is an oxymoron, unselfish in the most selfish way. 

Anyone can disagree with my opinions, thoughts and actions, but they are mine to have and take. As yours belong to you and no one else. Instead of trying to control, support your loved ones with their decisions. A little helpful logic is always a plus, but the final choice belongs to the individual. Traveling alone has taught me to support everyone's decisions as well as my own. It is your own path to choose, I can only say choose wisely.
