Today, I went to
Dick’s Sporting Goods to buy a few things for my upcoming trip to Europe. When
I told the salesman, “I’m backpacking through Europe this summer,” he replied
with a very cheeky, “Well that’s original” and laughed at me! I was not too
pleased, but I quickly brushed his sarcastic comment off when I thought about
what “original” really means. Dictionary.com offers the following definitions:
1. belonging or pertaining to the origin or beginning
of something, or to a thing at its beginning
2. new; fresh; inventive; novel
3. arising or proceeding independently of anything else
4. capable of or given to thinking or acting in an independent,
creative, or individual manner
5. created, undertaken, or presented for the first time
No matter what
others may have to say, based on the above definitions, my trip is most
definitely original, even if just for me! Mackenzie and I are SUPER excited to
see what I’ll discover, learn, and experience along the way.
