I saw that movie a couple of nights ago and it really got me thinking about what I want to do with my life. It just made me want to travel the world and find myself. She travels to Italy first, and thats where she (I think) learns the lesson about how appearances arent always everything. Then she goes to India and there she brings herself closer to God and balances herself and lastly she travels to Bali to have a medicine man teach her about all he knows and she learns how to open herself to love again. And through all this, everyone has been telling her that it's wrong to not be married, or in other words, it's wrong to be independent. I admire the main character because through it all, she remained independent and traveled to all these places alone on a whim.
Now, I know that since this movie has become popular and everyone has seen it and everyone will probably be saying this so it's a little cliche, but I want to do something like that. I've wanted to do it before I saw the movie, but seeing someone actually doing it made me want to do it even more. I want to go out into the world and experience life and find myself. I want to see and experience who I am without anyone holding me back telling me I can't do this or that.
I am going to buy an italian dictionary and learn the language. Then I am going to go to Italy for a year or so, buy a villa, drink wine, sit on the beach, and eat lots of pasta. I will meet tons of people and make a few close friends. I will take pictures of everyone and everything that makes me laugh, realize something, love, see the truth, grateful, or inspired. Then I will publish all the photos into a scrapbook I have made so I will always remember how I found myself.
It would be awesome if I could travel to other places within the year. Maybe Spain? I can see myself walking through the streets of Barcelona, carrying a basket full of vegetables I have just bought from the local market. Or maybe France? I could see the almighty famous Eifel Tower. Whatever I do or wherever I end up going, it will be an amazing time and an unforgettable adventure.
