One week...

This is crazy. This is stupid. This is unrealistic. This is irresponsible.

This is...

it's...

And it's happening. In one week. 6 days, 9 hours, 1 minute, annnnnd... 17 seconds until my plane takes off from Vancouver, BC to Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam.

So what? I'll only be in a foreign country, on the other side of the Earth, where I don't speak the language or know anyone, without a long term place to stay or a source of income, with a climate I'm not well suited for, and well, you get the idea.

I waver. Sometimes I go so far as to doubt. Doubt that I can really do this, that I'll enjoy it. Fear that I'll return after a short time a defeated man, to find myself back where I started, except jobless and homeless.

I find my balance by thinking on my reasons for doing this in the first place; the desire to not end up with regrets, to think of Money as only the second most important currency I possess, the first being Time. I think about the other people who have come before me and done the same thing, or even bolder more adventurous things. If they can do it, so can I.

I can do this. I can do this.

I will do this.

One week.
