So here is my response to that piece, Don't Date a Girl Who Wants to Change the World... I urge you to join her.
Just like the girl who travels, she also has messy, unkempt hair but that's because she is striving more than ever to find herself -- her voice to change the world. She's connected to the world both realistically and naturally. When she's not doing yoga at 8 am every morning, she's frantically searching the bookstore for books that will fill her mind and heart with knowledge. When she's not doing that, she is jumping from forum to forum, writing essays, and expanding her mind in her online and real time courses. Her desire to learn and work hard in brainstorming ideas for her journey to change the world will literally amaze you. It might actually inspire you to join her.
