[…] When this started happening nine years ago, I didn’t know what to do. When I would get a mean comment I could cry and eat cookie dough and feel sorry for myself. Then I decided to own it and created the annual “best hate comments of the year” list, which is one of several random things I am known for, along with falling off a camel in Jordan and just generally ranting.

People like these are just too cowards to chase their dreams, so they prefer saying that others are lucky. This way, they don’t have to fight for anything, because it’s out of their hands. They’re just not LUCKY enough…

You seem a great person and I’d love to travel as much as you do someday. But for now, I have to go back to work, because it seems I’m not that lucky… 🙄

[…] I honest to god cannot believe that my blog is my life now. Sometimes when I look back and see the other paths I could have gone down (and didn’t) I make a long “woah” sound out loud. Every day, no matter my mental state, I pinch myself and try to be grateful for the life that I now have. I know I’m lucky. […]

“The harder I work the luckier I get” (Samuel Goldwyn) seems to sum things up nicely! I love your blog. I don’t always agree with everything you say but if I did that would be a bit creepy!

I’ve been saving hard and have just booked myself my dream 6 week trip next March (yep, I need that long to get the spending money together on my salary) – does that make me lucky too?I’ve got 3 weeks in NZ and I can’t wait.
