I try to stay fairly positive about things and be an optimist, but there are times when I look back on my life so far and wonder if I should have did some things differently.
I hate 'what ifs' and that is not what I want this to be about, yet that is kind of what it is. :/ There are just certain things I wish I would have done differently in the past 22 years.
I wish I had been more immature as a child. I have always been told how mature I am and how grown up I am for my age all throughout my life. This is nice and all, but part of me feels like I missed out on the naivety of childhood.
I wish in college I would have studied abroad. I have always always wanted to do it, but never found the time. College really just flew by and now I'm graduating before I get the opportunity. I know I will leave the country someday, I just thought studying abroad would the perfect way to do it before I have to add more adult responsibilities to my life.
I guess I will just have to start saving my vacation days and money so I can make it happen. I also really want to live and work in another country for a few years. This could be accomplished with the Peace Corps or other programs. So I can't completely write this one off yet.
After getting that out there, I really just want to live my life a bit more out of my comfort zone. Hopefully this will stop any future 'what ifs' from sneaking up on me. Plus, how great is it to step outside the lines of monotony? The flutter of your heart, wondering to yourself if you are crazy, and the uncertainty of the situation and outcome. It really is quite wonderful and makes me feel alive inside.
