A week ago I got up and took a run around Downtown Boise. The weekend had been heartbreaking and eye-opening, and I just needed to sweat the whole thing out of my system. I ended up crying because I realized that my run wasn't just a normal 'see you in a few months' run. I was saying good-bye to a dream I didn't realize I was holding on to. I always find myself inspired when I leave Boise, Idaho. I'm not sure if its the change of scenery or the challenge that the city holds for me, but something about it just forces me to think differently.
I just returned from a road trip from Boise to Phoenix with my sister. I saw some of the most beautiful sights in the West. I drove through a few of our beautiful National Forests. My mind wandered through different paths of life. I knew when I returned home that I'd have to start thinking more about the future and less about the now. I couldn't help but think of all the goals I've spoken about and never reached. I suddenly felt unsuccessful. I was standing in the middle of Grand Canyon National Park and I felt unsuccessful. I've allowed my fear to keep me from completing most of those dreams. I've wanted to move to Boise for an entire year and I've had multiple opportunities. I haven't gone because of what people in my life might think. I've wanted to buy a van, rent out my home, and live on the road for a whole year. I haven't done it because I'm afraid of setting myself back in life anymore than I already am. I've thought about shortening the previous idea and just be on the road for three months and I haven't done it because what sane 25 year old just up and quits and drives around in a sedan for three months? Maybe I haven't gone because I'm afraid. Maybe I haven't gone because I've "grown up". Maybe I haven't gone because the universe has other plans for me. What I know is that I'm finalizing the details on what I want out of my life, I've become close with some of the best people in the world, and I'm ready for my life to start being much more positive and full of light. Whatever happens is supposed to happen. Whether it is in Atlanta or Boise - it'll be okay. It's not good-bye. It's good luck.

I think that Idaho is a great place to just take a break. I know that it is not as alluring as other places, but it is by no means boring. I was able to go and make tons of memories there. I think that it doesn't matter how bland of a place it is, what matters is how you make the most of it. I was able to go and talk to the locals and I enjoyed it.
