the difference between here and there.

So you have something in mind. A date. An event. Something that makes you use statements like, "until then..." or "after that", or even just letting yourself be excited for it. Because eventually it will be there.

You make plans.

But more often than not, at least in my life anyway, something comes through to re-route those plans. Because things get cancelled, the money you had set aside has gone toward something else, you forgot about a detail, you didn't get the job, or he sat you down and told you he doesn't want to marry you anymore.

And then suddently when you actually arrive at that day where you are supposed to be at your metaphorical destination...you're not at all where you once thought you'd be. Sometimes it's a good thing, because where you wanted to be was really no good anyway. But sometimes it sucks.

You can think of the place you thought you'd be, and surely long for it. But whatever route was going to get you there has developed a road block... and all of your ever loving plans are out the window. You're left with dissapointment, and the only option still viable is to keep your chin up and try again another day.

But sometimes.
Every now and then.
Maybe when you were just about to give up.

You get to your destination.

Because you wanted it, you worked, you hoped and prayed...and you got there! And getting there, lets you know that this is exactly where you're supposed to be. And maybe without all of those roadblocks down other paths you might not have made it.

For all the dissapointment, and unlaid plans I've ever run to on my own path- I have, for the first time in my life, reached my destination.

I am going to South Africa on Friday.
