I've just been accepted into YWAM (Youth With A Mission), which means that this September I'll be leaving to spend 3 months in Hawaii learning about missions work, and then spending another 3 months on a missions trip to... I don't know yet, they don't tell you until later because reasons.
I know they've got free WIFI where I'm staying in Hawaii, so I might still check in on Oppo from time to time whenever I'm not busy. But since I have no idea where I'm going for the actual missions trip, I don't know if they'll have internet at all. They focus on ministering to groups of people who have never heard about God before, so we may be heading to some pretty remote places. One thing's for certain, I'll have some stories to tell when I get back 
I'm honestly super excited about this! I don't know how many of you on Oppo are religious, but for me personally, everything in my life not related to my relationship with God hasn't really worked out. The plans I make for my life keep failing, but when I do what I feel like God is asking me to do, it does work. Every idea I had about what I wanted to be, what I wanted to do, fell apart over the course of 2020 as I either realized I hated it or that it just wasn't for me. But at the same time, I've been realizing that what I can do is missions work. I can share my testimony and change people's lives. I've already saved one of my friend's lives doing that, and impacted many others. This is what I'm meant to do, regardless of what job I have or where I live.
What I've realized is that worrying about the future consistently gets me nowhere, but going wherever God tells me to just works. I'll trust in him that he has a plan for me, and go wherever he tells me to. And the first step in that is YWAM.
As soon as I get back, my only plans are to get a job and start saving to go somewhere else. I don't know where yet, but I'll cross that bridge when I get to it. I do feel like God's been getting me interested in various methods of making money without staying in one place for a reason, so I have a feeling I'll be traveling a lot in the future. Perhaps I should start prepping Phoebe for road trips... Or get one of those fancy vans...
TL;DR I'm going to probably disappear for 3-6 months, and I expect to be a different person when I return. I'll still photograph every interesting vehicle I see on my travels, so expect one heckuva photodump next year 
Thunderbird on an island for your time.
