One month until I leave, yet I probably know more about Andrew's upcoming trip than my own. Taking interest in a life other than yours is good as long as you maintain your own goals and personality. I've changed in some ways, yet I'm still very much the same. As burned out as I am right now with photography, I still find myself reaching for my camera when I see the light from a window touch a piece of old jewelry. I still find the process of talking to near strangers exhausting, and I still love reading bad fiction.
I'm still a hopeless daydreamer.
It is my goal to experience this trip to the best of my ability. As tempted as I will be to spend some hours curled up under warm blankets listening to music and dreaming, I want to at least give myself a fair chance to truly take part in my surroundings. I want to swim in Loch Ness, capture the sunrise over ancient ruins, drink mead in a pub with raucous Scottish buddies, and take at least a day to hike a Highland trail. If one of these excursions never happens, I want it to be because I was too busy partaking of others, not because I was lazy or intimidated.
