call it what you will or simply call what it is….quarter-life crisis, escaping reality, running from my issues, leaving the man that i love. branded by whoever chooses, judged by whoever cares, i bought a one-way ticket to the golden coast and promised not to return without an answer. i'm not even sure what i'm looking for, honestly have no idea if i will find what i need, but the bottom line is, i'm willing to take the risk, wanting to take the dive. and for that, i have to give myself credit, right?
some have chosen to call me selfish, and that could be an accurate description of my current state of mind. but i can't allow for those negative veins of thought to flood my brain. i need to push forward. i need to take this great escape. i plan on running, running as fast as i can, until a 4x4 hits me smack in the face. and when i recover, i'll let you know if i see the great light.
due to an emptiness in my life, that has taken me quite a few years to recognize and even admit to myself, i have chosen to take this path of travel. this current journey of mine will be completely organic and unpredictable. i have no hotels booked, have done little research, and have no travel buddy. i plan on visiting friends along the way, and anticipate on having ample time to cultivate many new relationships. i am taking this world on alone, in hopes of rebuilding an ambitious girl that i once knew so well.
