I am done with my visa and tickets and will be heading to Philly on the 13th of July (Dates being changed due to office priorities) . Havent started packing and I guess I wont start atleast until two more weeks. In the last two months .. I’ve done things and been thru things I wouldn’t have ever imagined. The pressure has been intense and rather painful, but its been worthwhile to learn more about myself!
Its heart-breaking for me to leave behind what I have here, but I need to go for a whole different set of reasons. In the last couple of weeks my beliefs have been challenged so much that I lost myself for a few days. Yesterday I had a rather interesting conversation with my youngest sis who has proved to be wise beyond her age. I had no clue that she had grown up this much 
We were talking about relationships and their ilk and she said .. “people grow and not always into something better”.. that struck a cord with me. There are things that I have always held close to my heart and I guess I always will. No point in growing up. Thanks dudette. I am glad we share similar genes 
:) :)
That said I am taking a break from work and everything else to head out to conquer a few mountains. Once I am done with em, I will know what I need to do with my cross.
~Adios and wish me luck for my future.
