You don't have to stay in the same place forever

If there's one thing I wish every young person knew, it's this.

You're not stuck.

You don't have to live your whole life in the same city, the same routine, around the same people, thinking that's all there is.

Because there is so much more out there.

Other countries. Other languages. Other cultures, food, traditions, stories, ways of living. The world is huge, and it's waiting for you. You just have to believe that you are allowed to see it.

It doesn't matter where you come from, how small your town is, or if people around you make you feel like dreaming big is unrealistic. Because it's not. With time, effort, and curiosity-you can go far. Learn a new language, even if it's just a few words. Research a country you've never thought about. Take that scholarship, say yes to that exchange program, save for that first trip, or even just imagine yourself walking through streets you've never seen before.

You can do it. You deserve to know what the world outside you bubble looks like. You're not a tree. You're not rooted in one place. You can move. You can grow. You can go.

Don't let fear or other people's limitations convince you otherwise. 

Explore, learn, dream. Because the world isn't just for a lucky few- it's for all of us.
