"When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live"

Three and a half years ago my Auntie passed away. The whole family was in shock as it was very sudden and unexcpected. Whilst grieving, my Uncle found comfort in going out for long walks. It was an escapism. The peacfulness of the forest gave him alone time, to think and to reminisce.
My Uncle was totally heartbroken. It just proved that life truly is too short. And every day should be lived like it's your last.
One day I went along. I found that I really enjoyed walking, interacting with nature, seeing it's beauty and not just taking it for granted. Being out of the house was refreshing. I started to appreciate oppurtunities and dream about what I wanted to achieve.

I had a taste for adventure. I realised I wanted to excperiance the world in all it's glory. When you step back to think about it... it's truly remarkable really. There's so many places in this world, all are individual and unique. All should be celebrated. I want to travel the world. I want to help others. I've wanted to help others since I was a child, I used to dream that my job would be going around the world helping anyone who needed it
