Stillness of the night

I posted a similar quote before...

"In the darkest, stillness of the night, when you are left with nothing but the terror of your own thoughts, and if you find that you are happy with the decisions you have made, that you are alright with them, then you have made the right decisions."

I believe the credit goes to Nietzsche, paraphrased by one of the guest lecturers for my course from last term.

I loved this quote.  Recently, I've been coming across similar quotes on facebook, web pages, status updates....everywhere.  There's a saying that if you intend to look for something or if that certain something is on your mind, then you'll notice it or spot it more often than usual.  It's certainly true for me these days.

The term is about to end soon, precisely, at the end of April.  I have about one more month to go before the long-awaited plan becomes a reality.  Yes, an actual reality.  Our backpacking trip will begin on July 1st.  If you've been reading this blog for some time, then you must know that this is something I've been talking about for a long time now.

So, you have been on this journey with me too.

What will be in store for Chris and me?  What career decisions will I make after our 6 months of traveling?  Will I actually have the guts to pursue what I think is my dream?  

What's that, you ask?

A writer, perhaps?

Who knows.  

I will think about it in the darkest, stillness of the night.
