Ohhh un sacapuntas?? The ONLY word I remember from sister Mary towers as well. Hopefully you’ll need a pencil sharpener.. I’m sure it will impress someone!
Hope you are having a great time =)

we both know that our curls (jew-fro, as i like to call mine) are demanding, that fomo is real whether its family, work, or chance to make/save $ related, and (now, apparently, since you finally agree with me) bangkok is one of the best cities in the world, BUT…

ever since YOU convinced me to travel with you I have been a better person, both because of the experience and because of my time with you. don’t ever forget that and don’t get lost in the sticky details because you are too good for that. don’t EVER hold yourself back or let your concerns occupy your mind as far as this aspect of your life goes; you were BORN to do this.

LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!

You should have thrown yourself a fundraiser before leaving Broklyn!

A woman’s instincts are usually right. You have a lot going on in your head but whatever your gut tells you to do is usually the way to go. If fear is the only thing stopping you, just go. I mean really just fear. It’s a complex thing this fear, though, sometimes it masks other things. If it’s just the fear itself then overcome that. If love (let’s say for Evangeline) is getting in the way then you have to follow your heart. Live for yourself, yes, but at the end of the day love prevails. There is an adventure in that babies eyes. By comparison, all the globe hopping in the world is right there when that baby walks or her finger nails grow stronger, or her eyes turn color, or she utters her first word. Not to mention that baby lives in the most exciting, terrifying, insane, city in the world. Travel to other countries will always be there. When you go to a job you love and make money doing it, the travel is always in the back of your head. You know that you can travel safely and securely. You can travel with your own baby on your back some day if you choose. You are young and nothing can stop you from adventure whether it’s in your brother’s living room or on the shores of South America.
