The most dangerous risk of all–the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later. – Author Unknown

The noises of SJDS are everywhere! If it’s not the chorus of dogs barking as you’re trying to fall asleep it is the mobile advertising trucks that shout sales pitches and slogans over distorted speakers from 1986. Even with all of this nonsense, I cannot help but smile at the dramatic changes in my environment now compared to that of growing up in Colorado. Drive-Thru fast food has been replaced with fresh produce & seafood, repetitive weekends has been replaced with new faces, clean laundry, hot showers, and consistent power has taught me to appreciate things more, and to live on a little less, while childish immature insults have not been replaced, because where would the fun in removing this be? I will also have to admit that I am loving the average age that people assume I am, which is 24, and so, I am willing to embrace this often overlooked guesstimate and just learn to live life with a bounce in my step that can only be described as youthful living.

When I look over all of the status updates from both friends back home and the new friends I have acquired throughout my travels, the differences in the topics tend to amaze me. Some people consistently complain about work or just life in general, while many others are excited about life, living out their dreams. Knowing people that are on almost every continent and spread throughout the globe is quite inspiring to me as well, especially when you take a step back and are able to make the realization that there is so much beauty in this world and choosing to stay within the solitary safety bubble waiting for the perfect time to leave it is often a waiting period that outlasts your own ambitions. For those that tend to read my blogs more regularly, or even if you stumbled upon this while surfing the web, I hope that even what I am doing encourages you in some manner to become more passionate about your life and what you are currently doing.
