PHILOSOPHY
One day, while reading a travel magazine at Flaming Amy's (burrito place in Wilmington, NC), I stumbled across an unfamiliar phrase.
Intentional living.
The article was about various spas and health retreats in San Francisco, and went into detail about the origins of the cool, laidback California lifestyle.
"The 1960s ushered in a wave of young hippies passionate about all-natural food and intentional living," it said.
My eyes froze on those last two words. Intentional living. Is that what I've been doing all this time?
To me, intentional living means exactly what it sounds like - living with intention. Without walls. For as long as I can remember, I've wanted to travel and write, and I've finally reached a point in my life where I can do so. I'm always looking to make new friends and meet likeminded individuals.
