At the end of this journey-once this dream has been lived and accomplished I would only be a fool to think that I accomplished something big or gained deep understanding of the world at large.
I have achieved a dream-this is important.
I have learned new things, seen ways of life I have never seen before, watched the sun set into the oceans of the world, spoken new languages, shared all the beauties and moments with my best friend, have fallen asleep on most nights exhausted, but fulfilled, giving prayers of gratitude, dreaming new dreams.
Realizing even more now how little I know, how limited my understanding and how wonderfully complex and diverse our world is, yet beautifully simple at the same time.
I could see myself at the finish line of a dream well lived, but I see myself at the beginning of a new dream, no more or less important than the last.
And the map of my life lies rather empty waiting for my dreams to manifest and fill it in.
