We had flown across the country, traveled through the mountains, explored the city, and had been dancing till 3am when I looked at Vero and said, “That’s all I got in me, we should head back”. She looked me dead in the eyes and said, “Too bad” and kept dancing. She was right— we ended up dancing through the streets eating the best Shawarma of my life after that.

No matter where you are, or what you are doing, you can find a reason to hold back to stop yourself from being in and enjoying the moment.

Sometimes you need a friend who pushes you to let go of the “suppose to’s” and forces you to experience and enjoy the moment in front of you.
