So here it is, the months of dreaming, weeks of actual preparation and days of soaking up my friends and family have come down to the last 48 hours...until I get on that plane to Prague with no set plans to return. Sinking in at last? A bit. Saying the last goodbyes to my friends has made everything real for me. Even though it's not really "goodbye" but just "see ya later!", change is inevitable and nothing will ever really be like it is now, today, in this snapshot of life. But that's why I'm doing this. It's hard to leave people and places that feel so comfortable and familiar, and enter that weird, empty transition period between old and new. I'm sure there now, and I can't wait to get to Prague and venture forth into the new.
So I've definitely still got to figure out how to pack my life into 2 suitcases, bid my family farewell (friends were hard enough...) and hop 3 planes to Prague to meet a group of aspiring English teachers whose wanderlust also caused them to uproot their lives and do this crazy thing. I'm not going to lie, it's pumpkin spice season and that's the time of year when I love, love, love Starbucks. So this whole "venti" life thing is about just going for it, and living life VENTI sized! Sometimes your dreams and ambitions don't match some idea of a "real world" or "beaten path", and that's when it's time to live your life in a big girl cup :) Now I know that "venti" doesn't actually mean "large", but it does mean "twenty", and I'm smack in the middle of my twenties and determined to make the most of them. So overall, venti/large/twenties life, in Prague, in 2 days! READYSETGO!!
