I was asked today "how do u stay drama free?"

I responded along the lines of not allowing things to bother me and assessing the situation and putting myself at fault.

Drama is allowed by the person who is experiencing it... I tend to stay away from drama and I don't require it in my life so I push it away. Drama goes hand and hand with Stress although the two are not the same in my eyes. Drama isn't my inspiration for blogging right now though so I am moving on...

Today I was doing what I quite often find myself doing as of late, reading travel blogs. I realized I haven't even attempted to blog about my South America trip which was so incredible. At first I didn't do it because I said I needed to gather my thoughts and then I totally just put it off. Now I am at the point where I don't know if it will have the same effect if put into writing, which really sucks but I will definitely do it this weekend.

I no longer think I will blog about my longing to get away because it just seems like words, not that I wont do it but I can't do it until my financial situation allows it. I think what I will do tonight is calculate how long it will take me to pay off my bills so I can purchase my ticket. Today my favorite posting was of Nomadic Matt on his "Why Americans Still don't Travel" It was such a great read. He touched upon it in an approach I probably wouldn't have taken exactly but did it in a way I never thought to do it. Great read and deserves a once over also the comments left are pretty good.

Motivation is key and I have made the first step in motivating myself for something a little more and I hope to continue... I want to consistently blog rather than just having thoughts in my head and letting them float away.

I was considering allowing 0ne or two people on my trip to South East Asia but after a recent encounter with a new human, I realized I have to do it alone. Not because I don't want company but I need to do it for myself. Lets see if I have as much heart as I bark out there.
