Birthday tape vibe: all good things are wild and free
Henry David Thoreau once wrote “All good things are wild and free.” Thoreau may have been born a Cancer, but he sure did have some Sagittarius in him. He had no idea he would be speaking to my soul centuries later.
I try to leave the country twice a year. It’s a luxury I have been fortunate to experience over the last few years. I use travel to keep things in perspective. Travel makes me realize how happy people are with what they have and the life they live. It also makes me feel extremely grateful for all I have in my life.
I can always tell I’m getting cabin fever when I start to sweat the small stuff. In 2019, I only left the country once. I don’t even know if you would count The Caymans as a true international trip. It’s another beach island. I know. #spoiled.
I shied away from booking any big trips this year. After losing my dad, I have developed a completely irrational fear of venturing too far from my family. My passport is aching for new stamps, and I have been excessively sweating the small stuff. My dad would tell me to go be wild and free. Actually he would just say, “Be free.” 🙂
2019 was probably a much needed reset. My heart needed to be home, and I physically wasn’t home. I hyper focused on getting back home and putting down roots. In 2020, I am back to my gypsy spirit, wanderlust ways. Today’s Birthday Tape is dedicated to the places I have seen and the places I have yet to see. I cheated on my daily photo. Instead of a daily self portrait today, I am posting pics from my world travels. Go big or go home.
