Right of Passage

So as some of you may know, I am traveling to Costa Rica and visiting for a week in just 9 days! This will be my first time on a plane ever! And I'm going to be alone! So I've never traveled internationally and people are wondering why I would go alone. And I always tell them that I'm tired of waiting for people it's time to start living my life the way it's meant to be lived. About a month and a half ago I almost lost my life and I realized how dispensable life can be. So I'm on a path to happiness. I can't let anyone be an obstacle or detriment in my path. I've never been the type to have that much patience and follow people anyway but this is something I must do. I am the first in my family to have such accomplishments as owning a degree, owning a car, traveling solo, or moving out of the house at an early age. No one in my family even has a passport and considering my sister and I are the only women in my family to have driver's licenses that determines interests or the lack thereof. So I created a right of passage for myself. This year I am going to continue  do things I've always wanted to do but just never had much encouragement or support to do so. The things my family feared are not mine. I will visit 5 countries before I turn 25 even if I have to go alone. And it's not my family's fault they just didn't have similar interests at the time and if they did they weren't motivated enough to pull through the circumstances and do it. But that's definetely not me. I always find a way! San Pedro, Costa Rica here I come! Can't wait to place my feet on foreign ground thank you Jesus Christ the son of God!
