The Importance of Family.

I know the whole point of this thing is to highlight my ADD-fueled travel inspirations and the like, but there is one thing slightly off topic that I feel needs to be touched upon. When you are out and about travelling, whether it be to Europe or South America or Africa, in the back of your mind you always need to have one small iota of hope that in the event everything turns sour tomorrow, you have a home to come back to. Family is more incredibly important than you know – beyond anything tangible or emotional – knowing that you have a safety net (and a warm bed) to come home to means exponentially more than your next destination or your scandalous fraternity abroad.

That one small iota of hope I had has just shut it’s door on me. Like a minute ago. And as I stared at this blank “Add New Post” screen barely able to balance my head on my shoulders and completely deflated of any possibility of emotion I thought I’d share.

Good night.
