I completely agree with what your saying, from the political aspect to the point that happiness is often a choice. I´ve been making changes in my own life of late (and also deliberately choosing not to change other things) and it´s amazing what a feeling of empowerment and happiness you get from making your own choices.<br /><br />Now just to work on cutting down my superfluous spending like you´ve done!

Or are we doing what society has said is right and is the norm for us? Going to college, getting married, getting a full time job, making babies, etc. <br /><br />I feel lucky to be one of the few southern girls still not married into my 30s. It's given me time to think about what I actually want vs. what is expected. I like hearing about people who are thinking about and questioning the same things! yall are going to have the most amazing trip ever and yes, it will probably be hard to come back to the "real" world afterward. it'll be worth it though! glad you have put things into action so that you can live out one of your dreams! <br /><br />christen<br />fashionplatecheapskate.blogspot.comchristenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09415762232091625405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173897480782860065.post-9998752345721417132013-04-09T02:40:25.994-04:002013-04-09T02:40:25.994-04:00i feel your words caitlin. found your blog through...i feel your words caitlin. found your blog through a link on another blog while i was blog hopping and felt i just had to stop by to leave a comment concerning this post.<br /><br />i'm glad that you have made a decision for yourself to be happy, also this trip. it doesn't matter what others think really, because they will think, as long as they can think. imagine the chaos in our minds if we tell ourselves to react to how each and everyone else's thinks. life's too short to be bothered by so much!<br /><br />also i do not think you've idealised and romantised your life. i remember once i was told by a superior of mine that i am too idealistic and that one of my business proposal wouldn't work. however i thought to say something wouldn't work before even dealing with it is what makes thing don't work. right? i am an idealist like that, nothing will be much of a problem for me as long as i set my mind into doing something.<br /><br />anyway just to cut the story short. i on the other hand think, being realistic is what made the world cold. to idealise is to hope for something better. and i believe it is with this mindset that helps make people better and the world better. <br /><br />i just want you to know you're not alone. not everyone is suited with the current system of our urban dwellers' life and think like everyone else. EACH AND EVERYONE OF US is different and is happy with different accomplishments in life. just follow your heart and do what makes you happy.<br /><br />to a happy and contented life~<br />junNJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13330210437340362738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173897480782860065.post-77814885370756267192013-04-06T17:50:10.479-04:002013-04-06T17:50:10.479-04:00I think you're going to have a great trip! It&...I think you're going to have a great trip! It'll be so neat to see so much of the country and it'll be something you'll never forget. I often think about the forced idea of what we want in life. The stability and all. Then I realize I actually like a calm, stable life. I like to travel and then return to normalcy. That's definitely not for everyone, but to me a comfortable life is a happy one. Everyone's different!<br />Also, I think this outfit is super cute! I love your scarf and cozy-looking dress.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17015161846956232802noreply@blogger.com
