everything about the trip just seemed so perfect, in a way that life doesn't usually lend itself to. maybe it's a summer thing.

now, so much later—i close my eyes, take a deep breath, and there i am again.

i regret none of it — not the rain, not my lack of preparation, not all the could'ves, the would'ves, the should'ves.

a friend and i joined forces with fifteen other people and together, we ventured into a mountain village at the top of yunnan armed with nothing but cameras and full hearts.

life. is. moving. so. fast. it. is. incredible.

so, note to future self - get those legs moving and see the world lying out there, even if it means being drenched by gelid, chlorine-ish shower water every morning in the dark.
