Got the Plane Ticket people!!!!

[aojeda50]

So I FINALLY bought the ticket to fly to Italy in August, to see my SO. This will be the first time we meet in person. Words cannot describe how I am feeling! I have been setting money to the side every single week for 9 months. All this hard work at my job has really paid off. My mother was telling me how I should put it towards a car or school. I know that would be the "right thing to do" or the "responsible" thing to do, but this is what I really want. I've never wanted anything like this in my life so far. This is the person I love. And I would rather take the time to travel now, then wait until its too late because of more bills and responsibilities. This is my chance to do something that makes me incredibly happy. And he makes me incredibly happy.
Get ready baby. I'm coming soon =]



And I almost forgot to mention the situation with my parents. My mom is scared for me to go by myself. She won't say it, but I can see it in her eyes when we talked about it. I don't know how I'm going to tell her that I actually, finally bought he ticket. I'm afraid to, almost.

Travel while you can! and you have a VERY good reason to. You can always spend your money on a car or something just as practical.. but when you leave this earth you can't really take any of that with you.. all that is really worth anything is your happiness and experiences in life. You will have an awesome experience!

That is exactly how I see it. If I don't do it now, I'll be stuck here just working.


And thank you so much to everyone else for the comments and support

You might regret it for the rest of your life if you did not make sure to meet your SO in person. I am glad you are.

[chizatlauren]

Yay!! Crongrats!
About your mom, the sooner you tell her, the best. In general I always exagerated my mom's reactions when it comes to my LDR and she ended up reacting pretty well to it all

Yay congrats! You only live once and this could be the first step towards a wonderful future.

Tell your mom asap, the longer you leave it, the harder it will get and your mom may think you tried to hide it from her. My mom was scared when i did the same thing but she accepted it and was happy for me.
