Me & My Retired Mum Went Travelling As We Realised: We Won’t Be Here Forever

Me and my mum talked about travelling together for years, but there was never the right time. After loosing my grandma I realised that neither me nor my mum will be here forever. So I took a month off work to embark on our biggest adventure together: travelling across the United States. Your life is the biggest gift you have ever received and no one knows how much time you have on this Earth. So don’t wait for the right time to come. To be who you want to be, to do the things you want to do, to say what you want to say… do it now. The right time will never come until you make it the right time.

“My advice to young people would be to learn. Because this is what will be your biggest asset in life. The most important thing is to keep growing.” ~ says my now retired mum, 63 years old. “With age you stop worrying about things that don’t matter and you grow out of your insecurities. Your priorities change, family and health become the most important.”

I feel blessed. For life gave my a ticket to the unknown. I embarked on this journey with a heart full of love and filled with purpose. I shall live with no regrets and retreat from no challenge. The time has never been better to live with an open heart. . Recently we had an opportunity to continue our journey. I live knowing that life is the most fragile thing I will ever hold in my hands It is too short to wait It is too short not to dream We must embark on the journeys of our own The journeys within and the journeys without We were born to travel The Time Is Now . Thank you @_kevinberry_ for capturing this journey.
