So far, my summer has been about discovery. About learning through adventure instead of textbooks. Kenya was my beginning. Stepping outside of my comfort zone was a big deal for me. I tried my tongue at a new language, I had deep conversations with almost-strangers, I played silly games with little kids, and laughed so (SO!) much. Rules confine me. Well, they confine everyone in a sense. But really, they confine me. I HATE breaking rules - any kind of them, whether it’s the law, or the ones that hung on the poster board in my second grade classroom - I’ve always followed them. I don’t really like that about myself. Well, I do. But I also don’t. Fun can be had while following the rules, trust me on that one - but think of the fun I could have while breaking a few (harmless, harmless) rules! Like, for example - GOING OUT THE NIGHT BEFORE AN EARLY CLASS!!! (Oh my word, imagine that! All the fun I could have!) Basically, this right here is a reminder to myself to loosen the heck up. Colour outside the lines. (via: katespadeny)
