As we wrap up our lifestyle as we know it, Michael and I have been reflecting on how lucky we are. It’s not just anyone who can take a months-long hiatus from adult life. The weeks and months of preparing are finally coming to fruition; we’re leaving on Sunday evening. By way of NYC, Alaska, and Taiwan, we should land on Tuesday Chiang Mai.
So to the life lesson part: Through the hustle of these last days in WV, I have felt so incredibly supported by friends, family, and the even the randoms who’ve heard our story. The life we’re wrapping up and leaving behind is a pretty darn good one. These weeks have had us prioritizing our time, hosting gatherings, and visiting local spots that we’ve been meaning to “get around to”. What a shame, though, that it takes us leaving to do these things! My aim is to draw from the memory of this and, while continuing to plan for the long-term, to live my life like I have for the last few weeks – treating each day with the excitement that it deserves.
And as thrilled as we are to leave, I’d also like to share a few of the things we’re pretty sad to leave behind:
…And of course, the Farm…
