the re-invention of the self

the main attraction of traveling for me, at first glance, has been the re-invention of the self. maybe i would move somewhere, work another job, stop smoking, become more responsible, or something else of a similar nature. such a fallacious logic. each time before when i traveled i hit a point where i realized that the change wasnt coming to fruition, and i came home with stories and pictures. these last few days i have come to a similar point, but instead i have realized that i dont need to reinvent myself. i was doing alright before i left, and a few flaws always add character. the person i was trying to become, was a person i disliked. time to grow up.

shes really short, but shes got the biggest heart i have ever known.
