Everyone says that you only fall in love three times in your life. Once when your young and dumb, once when you experience the “hard love”, and once that we never see coming.

People can honestly change your life and I just realized that about 10 days ago. I just returned from a vacation that I will never forget because it left footprints on my heart. Of course Grand Cayman has beautiful beaches and breath-taking sea life, but the most beautiful thing about the island are the people I encountered.

There’s a different vibe about the Caymanians, and I’m happy to say that I fell in love with each and every single person I met there. I have never been so sad to leave a place in my life, and it’s the kind of pain that has stayed with me since I’ve landed on the JFK runway.

I was happy. I had deep and passionate conversations with people who actually listened and and who weren't afraid to voice their opinions. They live freely and aren't afraid of judgement because, to be honest, there isn't much of that there. I spoke to many people over the course of the 10 days, a lot of whom, just packed up and left their homes in order to move to the island. It fascinated me that leaving everything they've ever known was so easy for them. I'm jealous at the fact that they know who they are and how they weren't afraid to take a leap of faith. They had made up their minds to move, and that’s what they did. No hesitation, no questions, they listened to their hearts and that is something I wish I could do.

I have grown and learned a great deal from the people I have had the honor of meeting. It saddens me to think that people like that exist across the world and I don’t have the pleasure of seeing or speaking to them every day.

One DJ, one Australian server, and dear God, one life changing Canadian inspired me to live life without hesitation of the consequences. If I could pack up and move to where they are tomorrow, I would in a heartbeat.

School and jobs are what we all seem to focus too much time on. Education doesn't guarantee jobs and jobs don't guarantee happiness. Being grateful and “having plans” with the people you absolutely love, well, that’s what guarantees greatness.

Everyone says that you only fall in love three times in your life. Once when your young and dumb, once when you experience the “hard love”, and once that we never see coming. I fell in love with every single person I met this past vacation and I never in a million years saw it coming. But, damn, I’m sure happy I did.

I love you my sweet, it’s not a goodbye, it’s a I’ll see you later.
