While we sit and watch our shows, and while we browse our online stores, daily life occurrences to other people in developing nations, things us as Americans (and I am including myself in this statement!) cannot even comprehend, are going on around the world. Things like communities spending hours upon hours a day searching and fetching water, that is not even healthy drinking water. And as human beings who are born with the pleasures of showers and water fountains and gallons and gallons of water at our disposal - I don't think we can ever understand.
This is just one of the trillion+ reasons I want to go immerse myself in this life. Get out and help, get out and see, - and not just see and be enlightened to some higher cause of donating each month to my charity of choice. No, I want to go and live in it. Feel it for more then just an eye-opening vacation. I feel so much for these people and those in crisis around the world, and yet I haven't even seen them. It is only the words I read and the pictures I see that evoke this emotion. So what if i go there? I hope it will turn my life upside down (even more). For those that know me already know that I am a vegan, minimalistic lifestyle, and compassionate human, I cant wait to see the changes I would instil after experiencing everything I want to experience. I hope it will only lead me to where I want to be, which is living. Living. Living, with only a backpack on my back. The shoes on my feet, going from place to place, a wandering helper, with my babies by my side.
