She’s
the one with the messy unkempt hair colored by the sun. Her skin is now
far from fair like it once was. Not even sun kissed. It’s burnt with
multiple tan lines, wounds and bites here and there. But for every flaw
on her skin, she has an interesting story to tell.
Don’t
date a girl who travels. She is hard to please. The usual dinner-movie
date at the mall will suck the life out of her. Her soul craves for new
experiences and adventures. She will be unimpressed with your new car
and your expensive watch. She would rather climb a rock or jump out of
an airplane than hear you brag about it.
Don’t date a
girl who travels because she will bug you to book a flight every time
there’s an airline seat sale.
She wont party at Republiq. And she will
never pay over $100 for Avicii because she knows that one weekend of
clubbing is equivalent to one week somewhere far more exciting.
Chances
are, she can’t hold a steady job. Or she’s probably daydreaming about
quitting. She doesn’t want to keep working her ass off for someone
else’s dream. She has her own and is working towards it. She is a
freelancer. She makes money from designing, writing, photography or
something that requires creativity and imagination. Don’t waste her time
complaining about your boring job.
Don’t date a girl
who travels. She might have wasted her college degree and switched
careers entirely. She is now a dive instructor or a yoga teacher. She’s
not sure when the next paycheck is coming. But she doesn’t work like a
robot all day, she goes out and takes what life has to offer and
challenges you to do the same.
Don’t date a girl who
travels for she has chosen a life of uncertainty. She doesn’t have a
plan or a permanent address. She goes with the flow and follows her
heart. She dances to the beat of her own drum. She doesn’t wear a watch.
Her days are ruled by the sun and the moon. When the waves are calling,
life stops and she will be oblivious to everything else for a moment.
But she has learned that the most important thing in life isn’t surfing.
Don’t
date a girl who travels as she tends to speak her mind. She will never
try to impress your parents or friends. She knows respect, but isn’t
afraid to hold a debate about global issues or social responsibility.
She
will never need you. She knows how to pitch a tent and screw her own
fins without your help. She cooks well and doesn’t need you to pay for
her meals. She is too independent and wont care whether you travel with
her or not. She will forget to check in with you when she arrives at her
destination. She’s busy living in the present. She talks to strangers.
She will meet many interesting, like-minded people from around the world
who share her passion and dreams. She will be bored with you.
So
never date a girl who travels unless you can keep up with her. And if
you unintentionally fall in love with one, don’t you dare keep her.
Let
her go.
