3 years guys. wow.
a whole three years ago today, 19 year old abby left home to chase a dream born from a craving of connection. I didn’t know exactly what i was searching for, or even what i planned to accomplish by moving into a van- i just knew i needed to do it.
the amount of growth and self discovery that has happened since that first day is incomprehensible. i’m a completely different person. i’ve softened in ways i didn’t know i could, and hardened in others. i’ve built up walls and broken them back down again. i’ve given my heart away and taken it back. i’ve learned and learned and learned. i’ve GROWN.
Every late night search for a parking spot, every random act of kindness strangers have shown me, every overflown p*e jug (lol), every mental breakdown and every night where i’ve questioned why the hell im doing this- has taught me something. has opened my heart up in one way or another.
the road has taught me countless lessons, but ones that i hold close are these-
wherever you go, go with love. smile at everyone. show people kindness even when you don’t think they deserve it because i promise they need it. treat the child in you kindly, hold their hand and walk them through life with you. chase your passions and don’t let anyone talk you out of them. be where your feet are. and wherever you go, go wholeheartedly. go lovingly. go unapologetically. go.
