It’s important to remember,
We’re all just stories in the end.
I lie awake in bed at night wondering what other people lying in bed are thinking about.
“Hold my hand, Doctor. Try to see what I see. We’re so lucky we’re still alive to see this beautiful world. Look at the sky. It’s not dark and black and without character. The black is in fact deep blue. And over there! Lighter blue. And blowing through the blueness and the blackness, the winds swirling through the air. And there shining, burning, bursting through, the stars! Can you see how they roll their light? Everywhere we look, the complex magic of nature blazes before our eyes.”

Just went on my first run after a two month hiatus, and let me just tell you…
I’ve definitely missed this.
While in Wellington a few weeks ago, they had these guys on display. So naturally I had to get a photo with them.
You know that feeling when you’re just about to fall asleep, but not quite there yet?
I think it’s in that moment when we’re most connected to each other.
If you’re twenty-two, physically fit, hungry to learn and be better, I urge you to travel - as far and as widely as possible. Sleep on floors if you have to. Find out how other people live and eat and cook. Learn from them - wherever you go.

I arrived back home on Wednesday morning and I’ve been trying to arrange my thoughts while recovering from a major case of jet lag (my body still isn’t used to this whole time difference thing; that’s what I get for living halfway around the world for the past seven months).
Now that I’m back, I’m going to start writing and posting content once again. I want to share some of my stories from my travels with you guys; things I saw, things I did, things I learned. And photos of course! (once I get them all organized, which may take some time).
I’ve realized what I really want is to to write more. I need to write more.
And that’s exactly what I’m planning to do.
I have so much I want to tell you, and nowhere to begin.

For the first time in over seven months I’ll be sleeping in a room all by myself. I’m not sure how I feel about being back yet.
Enjoying my last afternoon in New Zealand.
New Zealand, you’ve been beautiful. I don’t know how to thank you enough.
