In the show Gilmore Girls<\/em>, when Rory said, “I just want to be sure that I see\u2026something” when Headmaster Charleston asked her why she wanted to be a journalist, I really felt that<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

She was a sheltered small-town girl. I’m a sheltered big town girl.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And perhaps our similarities end there since I certainly don’t have a caffeine junkie mom, two boys who like me, or acceptance letters from Ivy Leagues, but I understood and felt that single sentence she said, perhaps more than any other fast-talking monologues she and her mother blessed us with in that show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Like Rory, I have endlessly read books about characters from around the world, across ages, continents, and world-views. But it’s not even just the books I have read or the shows I have watched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s a thirst. A desire. For sips of the ocean that is this world. For experiences big and small, weird and happy, that I will add to my soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I long to open new doors. I long to gauge the intensity of the different hands I shake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I\u2019m standing in front of something, I long to think I dreamt of this<\/em> over and over. And I long to leave pieces of my own. Give back to this world that I crave so much of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
