For a while now I’ve tweaked with the idea of starting a blog, and this morning on Instagram Joe Jonas posted a shot of blackout poetry on his story featuring the quote “The Time is Always Now”. And quite frankly, we don’t ignore Joe Jonas. As humans we’re always going to have those doubts in the back of our minds. We’re alway going to be scared, and unfortunately that often leads to us relinquishing those dreams.
For me the doubts that have held me back is knowing that strangers, or not so strangers, would actually be reading my shit. And quite honestly a lot of it is actually shit. Although here I am writing a bloody public blog, which is absolutely terrifying. Not only am I starting a blog, I’m planning a trip abroad. Which for me go hand in hand because I want to document my over seas journey, and they both spike my anxiety to uncharted levels.
For years I have dreamed about going abroad;. Seeing the world outside of cornfields. But now here I am, months away from that dream and scared shitless. Sure its not too late to back out, I already have a plethora of excuses, but I could apply Joe’s advice to this too, the time is now. I’m already virtually putting myself out into the world, so why not go ahead and physically put myself out there as well. Theres never going to be the “perfect time”. Life will pass you by if you wait for the perfect time, take the bull by the horns and by golly just go for it. So I figured that not only will I document my travel plans and stories, but my day to day struggles to capitalize on this life. Which leads me to finally be able to say, I am so happy to start this new journey.
