The answer to “You should have some more wine” đđˇ

When we place more value on what other people think of us than on what we think of ourselves, itâs a formula for misery.
Have you ever stopped and asked yourself what it is that you want in life? What are your priorities? How close are you to the vision you had of yourself as a kid?
Little Lauren dreamed of future Lauren as being confident and adventurous. I never want to stop learning, dancing, or loving the world around me. I dream of experiencing different cultures, and sharing laughs with people from around the globeâŚ
August 2014 rolled around, marking one year since graduation. I think the most proper way to describe how I was feelingâ stuck. Donât get me wrong, there is no place like home. There is nothing like your personal oasis of unconditional love. However, I was stuck in my comfort zone. You know what they sayâ the comfort zone is a beautiful place, but nothing grows there. I needed a push, and that push was purchasing a one way flight to Los Angeles for Monday, September 22nd⌠the last day of summer.
The weeks that followed were filled with dedicated work and planning. If youâre not familiar with Airbnb- it is a hosting service that allows you to travel on a budget, and stay with people in locations over 190 countries. A true gem if you do you research.
Getting ready for this journey was nothing but exciting, however, I avoided thinking about one main part of it all: actually leaving home! The weekend before I left was a whirlwind of emotions. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like an adventure of this magnitude to show you who your true supporters are.
The sun set on Sunday the 21st, and thatâs when I broke down. I finally felt the fear, the nerves, and the loneliness. I allowed myself a hot shower of freaking out, and then reminded myself why I was taking this adventure. If I was going to let the negative emotions take over, then I might as well stay home.
