Let's see how this works... Right now I'm packing, I haven't started on my journey yet-- or I guess I'm always on one? I've been saying all of the last goodbyes I can squeeze in today.

I've questioned about 100 times if this is really what I want to be doing, and keep telling myself I'm here for a reason, but I'm in all honesty ... read more
