On one hand, I can say I have far and away accomplished this goal. At the same time, it’s an ongoing process that I’d like to continue throughout my life.
I consider myself incredibly lucky. The people I know, the people I count as friends, the people that have touched my life briefly before moving on, are amazing. The are strange, fascinating, unique, varied, and so very human. They’ve made my life so far a wonderful existence and I am so happy to have them in my life and share memories with them.
I treasure the moments as well when I meet someone in passing. It may have only been for a day or a minute before we parted ways and will probably never see each other again. I’ll remember those people, also. I’ve met many of these people while traveling. I’ve found trains are a great place. Everyone on board is there for a different reason and has a different story, and most seem rather open to telling their story. Honestly, nowhere is really exempt from possibilities if you’re ready.
I suppose the best I have to offer is to just get out there in the world. Go places, do things, be open. Even if you are just going to the grocery store. You never know who might need to pick something up, as well.
I want to wish everyone good luck, and I’ll be continuing on my own path.
