Did Somebody Say Adventure?

I never realized that 138 days could fly by as quickly as they have. Around 2 p.m. this afternoon, I will be on the road to Orlando for the summer.
This time last year, I could not wait to get out of Orlando. But, I was definitely not my best self a year ago. I struggled with more internal emotions than I ever had. However, those struggles made me a stronger person. Many times I was so close to quitting, but I made it through. And here I am going back to the place I thought I wouldn't return to for quite some time.
In my life, I have gone back and forth to places many times. If you were to draw a map of my life journey, there would be a lot of zigzags and paths crossed twice. It would look like a mess most likely. But those zigzags and locations traveled to are what made me who I am. And now I'm going down another path for the second time.
But there's a difference: I'm going as a different person. I'm more open minded, willing, and expecting the unexpected. I'm looking forward to see some of the past I left behind, but also hoping to find a future.
For now, I'm going to have fun! No classes, no homework, and no shifts for a week! It's time for adventure, just please pray I get there safely!
When there's a smile in your heart
There's no better time to start
Think of all the joy you'll find
When you leave the world behind
And bid your cares good-bye
You can fly! You can fly! You can fly!
