Plan B

Bantry House, Bantry, Kerry Co., Ireland

The plans that I once made, I'd mapped them out in my mind and believed them; they were not just a dream to be, rather a reality to come, a journey in the making, a quest that I did not doubt or question. I closed my eyes and could see it all there; a happy portrait laid out in time to come; free from confusion and free of despair. I was so sure, but now I have another dream without such structure; a life of happiness drawn from adventure- I believe that where ever this path leads me I'll be happy there. 

Change was once a notion that would tear me down, plaguing me with the unknown, but today I view change as a gift to see something new and different, providing a new appreciation for living free. Living free without restraints, I will dream, I will dream big; and in my end, my life for someone else's, I'd never choose to trade.

And as I travel I keep my eyes open to see, as I don't want to miss a thing with each move that I make. My mind is open to this world, this kingdom which is here for me to seize, for me to take, to fully embrace. Taking each day in as a given gift, I willfully seize the simple things, the simple pleasures and the hidden gems, for as I do they continue to have promise and bring me a true sense of happiness.
