Wander Lusted Dreams

Do you ever feel like getting out of here (wherever you might be)? Not because you don't like your situation or the people involved in your life, but because you simply want a change? It's like you just want to get out of here, and see the world.

I love my life, I really do. I love my friends. I love the person who I am becoming, and who I am.  I especially love my family. However, at the moment I want to travel. I want to see the places I've never been to and meet people I have never met. I want to country hop. I want to listen to different languages, and eat different food. I want to get lost on a street, and finally find that I am where I'm supposed to be.  I want to travel.

I usually detest long car rides. I hate planes, as a general rule. I don't like staying at hotels or sleeping in a bed that's not mine. I have motion sickness. Usually, I love being homebound.  At the moment though, I want all of those things. I want to get on a plane, and I want that feeling I so much hate. I wan t my stomach to churn, just as the plane leaves. I want get off in the middle of the road because I feel need to balance myself, before I throw-up. I want to do all the cheesy, touristy things I usually frown upon. I want to spend hours in old, musty museums. I want to stand in line, in order to see a painting that's a thousand years old. I want to stare at a sky filled with fire-crackers and feel infinite. I want clean air, and green fields. I want to touch the ground where my feet never have.

I want to get out of this valley.

I want to meet people who talk about things that actually matter. They don't utter a word about who said what, when, and where. They don't drone on and on about how much calorie a specific food has or how their health is deteriorating. They don't care about who wore what where. They don't whine about things that they can't change. They don't talk ABOUT people, but TO them. They don't assume without the facts. They don't run their mouths and waste their words saying things without meaning. They don't talk about the same old things every single day.

The funny thing is, I want to go on an adventure. However, I don't want to go by myself: I want to drag my family along. I can't imagine traveling without my father's jokes or my mother's common sense. It would be against the point to go without my brother. I want to travel the world with those I love and know the best. I don't know how though, in today's world, it's asking too much.

I know this isn't currently possible. I mean, we have lives to live right? We all have daily routines to follow.  We have school books to memorize. Exams to take. Work to do. At the moment, this is just a dream. Someday though, it will be reality. I WILL dust my feet off of this place, and finally fulfill my wander lusted dreams.
