Ok well lets see… It’s the end of June (yay finally summer!) and right now I am on the East Coast to visit family. I just finished 6th grade, my first year of middle school. I don’t feel that much different, older, or wiser since the beginning of the school year. But there is one thing that’s different; it’s that my family is leaving for a year in about 70 days to go travel around the world.
It hasn’t really hit me yet, even now as I write, what this will mean and just how close the trip is. I’m not really sure why it hasn’t dawned on me, I mean it’s not like we bought another house in another state that’s a total fixer-upper. Oh wait that’s exactly what we did… but, haha, no that’s not it! Well I mean it kind of is because that’s all we’ve been working on for the past few months, but I think it’s just that I’d rather not think about it too much.
There’s a joke in our family that I’m always five steps behind everyone else. Never knowing what’s happening; and, I admit that that’s true. And because I’m so oblivious (well I don’t think I am but…) I kind of get used to not being in the loop that it starts to become the norm. So I guess what I’m trying to say is that I’d rather not know every single detail. Well actually no, haha ok how do I say this?
I want to know about the the trip and all of the plans because I’m extremely excited, yet sad to leave my home, friends, school, and dogs. I just think it’s fun to go with the flow, not have any worries; just live without the anticipation of the future and the yearning of the past because life is a wild roller coaster and this trip is like a crazy loop-dee-loop with a corkscrew attached. I’m nervous; scared almost to leave and so hyped up with anticipation because I can see the loop-dee-loop right in front of me and so… I just don’t think.
I don’t close my eyes though, because I want to be there watching as the world stays the same while I spin and turn in the air. I’ll let the ride take me where it’ll take me and I know I’m going to have the time of my life.
