Lately, I've seen this trend with me and my fellow R-Squaders. I am going to call it the World Race roller coaster problem…. One day, you're totally committed to going on this adventure, 2 days later you're curled up in a ball crying because this can not be the right calling for you.
This weekend has been a curled up in a ball wishing I had never signed up for this trip kind of weekend. I had a stomach bug and it was awful. As I laid in my bathroom floor, crying and thinking that I could not possibly ever get better, I kept thinking to myself… what if this happens in India? or Africa? or anywhere else?
And lets face it… we are probably all going to get sick sometime on the race.
So as I laid on my bathroom floor with my boyfriend holding my hair back, I decided there was no way I could get on a plane, travel across the world, only to die on a bathroom floor without running water with bugs crawling all over me. Did I mention that I am a tad bit dramatic when I am sick?
So today, I am feeling a little bit better about my commitment. I still am a little sick so the idea of dealing with this out there, is still freaking me out a little bit… I mean come on, I've seen the pictures and the videos… There are some HUGE bugs out there and they will eat me alive, how could one not be a little bit terrified?
But I don't want to freak anyone out, I am still going on the trip. It's just one of those downhill days. I am sure if you ask me tomorrow, when my tummy feels 110% better, that I will tell you LETS GO. But for now, can't I just pack my mommy in my bag to take care of me?
So I leave you with this, how is the World Race Roller Coaster Problem effecting you lately?
