Tristinn's Travelations....

Life Lessons learned by going to a new space and embracing it.  I haven't blogged in a while because quite frankly, I haven't been doing a lot of traveling.  However I've recently decided that traveling isn't necessarily a spatial thing.  Traveling can happen in your heart or mind or even in time.  It's the time traveling that's the most interesting, the most bizarre, the one we all experience.  

As graduation approaches and my college days come to a close, it's the time traveling that has absorbed my focus and my thoughts. Here are my recent clash-collisions with time:
  • I've always been an early to bed person as compared to others.  Now, my friends want to go to bed at 11:00 on a Saturday Night too!
  • Senior high school students feel like the eighth graders did when I was a high school senior.
  • Enough time has passed that the "younger" generation has never experienced the technology that I did i.e. tape recorders, beepers, the dial-up song..
  • I'm old enough that the word "like" kills me a little inside.
Here are what 8th graders look like
And then there are some more serious ones...
Winners!
  • Time Travel has no required equipment but no matter how experienced of a traveler you are, you'll never remember or have all the stuff you need.
  • Time dims even the brightest of memories.
  • Where you go is not as important as who you travel with.  So travel with WINNERS!!
Friends!

Time Travel is weird because you can never go back to the places you've been, nor will you ever run out of new places to experience.  There's an endless supply of time to explore, an endless ocean of moments to absorb.   And even when I settle down and stop traveling, other will continue to experience this limitlessness of time travel.
