Another Place, Another Time

The world is large, full of huge places to adventure. I feel God made the world so large and vast not to just give us many places to go, but to give us a since of not knowing. He didn't want us all in the same world to know the same things, live the life the same, and see the same things. He wanted all of us to be diverse and unique. I feel though as if he makes a place for all of us that he want us to end up. A place where life is easy and everything falls together. The really remember able part though is the journey you take trying to find it.
My friend Brandon has lived in the same town all his life. He never went on many vacations as a child and now is graduating high school and wants to travel. He says he wants life to be adventurous and that he fells his life has always been boring just living by the status quo. I told him I understood, and to go where he has always wanted to go most and to travel from there. He said okay and took the first flight to New York the next morning. HIs grandfather had left him money when her died a few years ago, and had told him to go and adventure live and explore all different places to help him find his true self. He took the flight to New York and I told him to send me pictures and cards so I could see how much fun he was having. He did I got pictures from everywhere, Germany, Britain, Spain Italy, Russia, Ireland, even Australia. Every time he sent a picture and I saw his big smile I knew he was enjoying life and learning a lot about himself. My favorite picture was of him in California, him on the beach with the sunset. He looked so happy and he put a caption "This is where I belong." Then I knew God put him there for a reason just like I said and I knew that things would work out for him. After him seeing California he bought a house with the leftover money from his grandfather. He decided to go to school, because he started to really love architecture from the numerous places and wanted to become a interior designer. He still sends me cards and we talk all the time, now its just my turn to find out where I belong.
Brandon has found himself and has set out to live the life he has always dreamed of. Not everyone in this world has done that, some people have jobs they hate. Some people just do things for money or for their family. People live life the way they feel is right, but it isnt always. I encourage anyone to be like my friend Brandon and set out for your dreams, because you will be very happy. For him, “If there was an answer he would find it there.”
