I'm going on a trip without my family members to learn how to sail and fish with my grandparents. My mother sort of disapproves of it, yet wants me to decide on whatever I want to do since I'll be on my own in college soon. The movie Moana is honestly helping me with all the anxieties I have about this because watching her choose between exploration and family as well as seeing her leave her island with such confidence and learning how to be the voyager she has always been inside truly inspired me to believe that it's okay to be free, and that once you're thrown out into the world you've got to make the best of it.

I’m not lookin’ for someone who can save me. Life rafts might keep you afloat, but they rarely get you anywhere and I’ve got places I wanna go.
