People give me pretty much the same reaction when I said, "I'm moving to Italy". I mean I don't blame them.. 18 years old, young female, stepping out of her comfort zone and the comfort zone of those around her to do something she's had fantasies about for years.. seems strange. For those of you who have questioned my decisions to move to a new country where I know no one and nothing, I cannot blame you, but I just wanted to let you know, IT'S OKAY! I promise I am doing well in Italy! I didn't die in London. My plane didn't crash into the ocean on my way to Europe (unless it did, I'm dead, and this is all a post-death experience, in which case you would never get to read my blog. darn)

Excuse the philosophy lesson, the point is, life is short, and I am young. I want to live with purpose and have stories to tell down the road to people who will want to listen to them. I will not live with any regrets and I will take every opportunity given to me, simple as that. So next time you ask me "why?", my answer will be, "why not?
