next stop, yvr

i’m on the plane to yvr. i hate this fricken flight. westjet doesnt give you a free meal on a 9.5 hour flight. there are no screens, only ipads for rent. i feel like SUCH a rookie for not downloading the westjet app when i had wifi so i could watch shows on my phone. i just finished my book. the old man beside me smells and is illegally drinking his duty free alcohol. i dont have a window seat. i just want to sleep but i cant sleep without a window to lean on.

 lol have you guys ever heard me so bitter? THE HONEYMOON’S OVER PEOPLE. i definitely cried when we were taking off. i’m not ready for my adventure to end. i thought i was a couple weeks ago but i’m not. i’m just feeling allll the feelings. i know when i get back i will have to face reality. i dont want to. i know this trip is going to feel like a dream in just a couple days. i sound like a brat but trust me i am aware how lucky i am to have had the best 6 months humanly possible. really the #1 thing i feel is gratitude. how did everything happen so so so perfectly on this trip? it wasn’t without some very very expensive/unpleasant hiccups, but i guess overall those things are really what made it perfect. how cliche of me is it to say everything happened for a reason… the challenges are what made me feel the strongest. but really i just had the best trip. i am going to go home and just absorb it. go through photos, read my blog posts, soak it in. i think my 3 fave places were Cape Town, Bali and Paris. peace play pash. honourable mention to Rwanda for having such a special place in my heart, Komodo for being so off-the-beaten-path-endearing, and Positano for being heart-stoppingly gorgeous. but who knows, maybe once i am home and reflecting i will have different faves. know what’s been really fun this trip? feeling INSPIRED. dreaming of writing a book, or travelling more, or living in a faraway land, or something magical happening. i feel like the universe has done some interesting things to me on this trip. like i feel like i’m cheesier than i was before i left. i used to get sewww annoyed when people say things like “everything happens for a reason”, and NOW LISTEN TO ME. there are some songs i listen to from my trip that make be feel like my heart is going to explode. they mean so much. it’s fun to dream. it’s been so fun to have conversations with people about this through my whole trip, people who feel the same. my favourite quote is “i don’t know where i’m going from here, but i promise it won’t be boring.” going to leave this with a copy and paste this from my insta post: —
