Nicole....and journeys

One of the biggest problems I'm encountering now is family. Well parent especially. I feel like everytime I talk about this with my mom, we end up in a fight. Whether it's about finances or how it fits into my life plan or just the "be careful" speech. I think watching the movie "The Constant Gardiner" freaked her out a bit. She hasn't brought it up recently but there's really nothing to be scared about. Most places in Africa are quite safe and there's really nothing to worry about. I mean there's always a risk but I wouldn't want a kind of life where I don't take any risks. Of course it doens't mean being stupid it just means knowing what you're getting into and knowing what could happen and how best to avoid that. I sometimes feel like I have absolutely no support from her, or from anyone else for that matter, but it's something I really want to do and well, after having broken up with guys over this, it's going to take something really big to stop me.
