Alicia Something is Wrong with You!

December 16th, 2025, I decided to take the trip of my life. However, I needed to start telling my family, friends, and clients about the decision to go travel the world in less than two weeks. People who know me share the same sentiment of “Sounds like Alicia.” They do not say much more because they know what they say is irrelevant when my mind is on a mission to see something through. They usually just appreciate the communication, with typical critiquing about whether I am going to be safe, because they care. They know me enough to know safety is normally not my top concern when the adrenaline of an adventure kicks in.

The growth in the relationship with my mom has been healing. I told her about my journey, and as if it were a test, she passed with flying colors. She provided empathy, validation, appropriate concern, and encouragement to follow my path, the only way I know how, headfirst. On the other hand, a well-intentioned individual said everything that I am sure my mom was thinking: “Alicia, there is something not right with you, and you are never going to get to a place of stability if you keep running off.” The pain kicked in at those words, but I had no fear or doubt that this was my only way forward.

For years, I have wanted a trip like this, but it never came to fruition. Now here I am, triggered by the reality that if I do not take drastic actions in my life to live honestly, I will end up losing my life selfishly. The emptiness of my existence will lead me to the edge of the road or a needle. I learned that I do not have to excessively explain myself to others. Some people will never be able to empathize with my perspective, and that is okay. It is my journey to honor, and nobody else’s.

So what am I doing? I have these big visions, yet I am walking on this earth blindly, following the light hum of my neurotic intuition. I am searching for meaning in life as if it were one big abstract painting. I just know that I am letting faith and love guide me. At least it is no longer the wind. Lastly, there might be something wrong with me, but I will be sure to make my faults count.

If you decide to follow my journey, then just know I am not an influencer looking to develop my personal brand. I am a friend to humanity with a personal mission to live my philosophy out loud.
