There are people you meet that change your life and inspire you to do the unexpected. Share the same interests but be so different at the same time. One that stands out is my friend Meredith. She’s gorgeous, smart, outgoing, and way out of my league, but even when she moved to Mexico City, then China, and now Turkey to pursue her modeling career she still managed to keep in touch even more so than some people that I know who live in the same city as I (thank you Skype).
I suppose you can say death is what brought us together. Death of a close friend, a close family member, and of a long-term relationship we thought would last forever. But what inspired me most was her courage to leave everything behind her and do something she’s always wanted to do and that was to travel, be a model, and write about her experiences.
I, on the other hand, do not have the same aspiration of being the shortest model to ever grace the cities of Mexico, China, and Turkey but I do look forward to traveling and living everyday not knowing what is going to happen. I’m not quite sure where I’ll be in the next year, month, or even tomorrow, but I know that I’m ready to leave the past behind me and start a new.
All I can say is…I CAN’T WAIT!
If you’re interested - check out her blog, it’s amazing and she may inspire you as well! :) http://meredithhattam.com/blog/
