About Me

More on me than one could possibly ever want to know about me... http://www.traveljournals.net/travelers/julieanna/-----It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn't it?It might be time for you to go. It might be time to change, to shine out.I want to repeat one word for you:Leave.Roll the word around on your tongue for a bit. It is a beautiful word, isn't it? So strong and forceful, the way you have always wanted to be. And you will not be alone. You have never been alone. Don't worry. Everything will still be here when you get back. It is you who will have changed.-----(exert from 'Through Painted Deserts')
