Dance!

ALIVE!

Sometimes it is about winning and losing. Most of the time what counts is the fact that you even “showed up,” the fact that you came and that you played.

...who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

Choosing to study for six months in Rome during college was one of the best choices I made in life. That taste of living abroad was what pushed me to live abroad again, seven years later, as a solo woman in Bangkok. Thanks for sharing your feelings on it all.
It feels good to write.
