Following My Dreams...

I know, the title sounds a little corny. Yet, I've been thinking (and daydreaming) about following my dreams for a while. What are my dreams? To travel around the world with a photo-camera, backpack, and notebook. Today at work, I had the most ridiculous thought. What if I made it a goal to visit all 7 wonders of the world in 3-6 months? Ridiculous right? But it would be so cool...and so unrealistic for me right now. I have debt, bills that are constantly piling up, a secure but underpaying job, an empty savings account, and a passport...in which I fear would go unused for a longer time period than I want. Where do I even begin to start embarking on my journey and to experience the wonder and zeal of global traveling? Most days, I feel like I'm being ball and chained to the concrete of my current reality. Don't get me wrong, my current life is okay. It could be better, but it could also be worse. But it could definitely be better! I mean, look at me. What on earth am I doing? I'm a 20 something year old, attractive woman, educated (depending on one's definition of educated), unmarried, no children, and plenty of freedom to experience including not having the common responsibilities that adults typically have (E.g spouses and children). Why not follow this pursuit? My only fears are never gathering the nerve to do all what my heart desires, which is to live my life to its fullest potential. There is so much I haven't seen and experienced.
