Travel changes you. As you move through this life and this world you change things slightly, you leave marks behind, however small. And in return, life - and travel - leaves marks on you. Most of the time, those marks - on your body or on your heart - are beautiful. Often, though, they hurt.
We think that there’s always tomorrow, so we don’t expose our feelings today. We don’t take the chance. But, sometimes, we gotta go for it today and be urgent, because who we love, what we feel, & what we have today, may all change or be gone the next day.
It’s a lot easier to lose control over your life than it is to win it. That’s why I wanted to make sure I never got complacent, never lost sight of my past. So, I learned that there should be a constant reminder that we’d fought back against the man who tried to steal us of everything that made us who we are.
