A Wanderlust Affair

Nothing says it better than this video from Sesame street.

You’ve got to let go of your fears in order to pursue your dreams. You can’t fly if you let people hold you back. This rubber duck was a gift from a very dear professor, encouraging us to believe in ourselves, to be brave, because if you follow your dreams you can’t go wrong. It’s the little things like these ones that keeps you going. Because really, you can achieve what you want. It’s not a matter of luck, it’s perseverance and faith. Fight hard enough for your dreams and they’ll eventually fight for you.

Even if that means standing up alone for what you fight for. Don’t conform with what society says, do what’s right for you. Be who you are, live your life and chase your passions. Because we only get one chance. Don’t let regrets weigh you down but learn from them and may they be the force that keep you fighting.

And remember, you’re not alone, you’re never alone.
