I’m Nervous & That’s OK

As I’m typing this, I’m sitting at my gate, less than an hour from boarding my flight to London.

I’ve said farewell to my parents, made it through security without a hitch, & am probably dehydrated with all the crying I have done.

I’m nervous. I cannot really pinpoint what exactly I am nervous about. Flying? Being in a foreign country? Traveling on my own? Culture shock? Probably all of the above.

But I have realized that being nervous is OK. It means that I care about this journey. I have a lot of feelings about this trip.

Caring & feeling a lot can only mean I am going to have a grand time because I am all-in.

I sobbed when I parted ways with my parents & still get a bit weepy thinking about them. But I know this homesickness & nervousness will pass because soon I will be too preoccupied with all of the amazing moments that London will fill my life with.

So if you’re nervous for a trip, just know that when you land you will be embarking on an amazing journey.
